Wrongful termination means that you were terminated for some reason that is protected by law (ie: gender, race, etc.) It does not mean that you were terminated because you left your post to go to another job. Based only on what you've posted, nothing illegal has occurred.

Completely agree.

You can sue for wrongful termination in the sense that no law prohibits you from doing so. But if you do, you will lose because you were not wrongfully terminated.

You may or may not have been unfairly terminated. That is a matter of opinion, not law, and holds no legal water. But you were not wrongfully terminated as the law defines it and unless you have omitted major facts you have no grounds for a lawsuit.

I got a call basically saying don't report to work until further notice

When that happens, you apply for unemployment. You might not get anything because of your work at Target, but if you're working part-time or the season ends, you'll be in good shape.
