Target Employee Scott Simms rallied his Black Friday crew as 300's King Leonidas

Westminster, MD -- Scott Simms, a Target employee, rallied the troops this past Black Friday. [The Stir]

"People of Target!" Scott rallies the troops. "Brothers, sisters, hear me now! They're standing out there. Any moment now, those doors will be breached. Whatever comes through those gates, you will stand your ground with a smile on your face!"

"They come here with bargains in their heads, and fire in their eyes!" he continued, warning about the types of shoppers they can expect to encounter. "And we shall give those bargains to them! We will show them that we are not just the best store in this neighborhood, but the best store anywhere. Because we are more than just a store."

Then he totally channeled Gerard Butler's Spartan King Leonidas in the movie 300. "This is a team. This is family. This. Is. Target!" he roared to the applause of the other employees. "Let 'em in!"

Simms later said to the Carroll County Times, "I prepared it in my head a little bit during the day ... I kind of wanted to do it because every year there's that calm before the storm and it kind of reminded me of 300 or Braveheart."

Enjoy.
