I'll give Target some props, it's slightly less of a shitehole than Walmart is. Definitely a better shopping experience. If i have to choose, i choose to shop at Target over Walmart. I mean the dirty stinky mongoloid mess at Walmart can be an unbearable shopping experience. I avoid it at all cost.
But that being said, Target has made some very bad business decisions in recent years. And it is still being crushed by Walmart. Store closures and cutbacks happen when a company makes bad business decisions. It is what it is.
True story... a friend I know recently reported to me that she almost had a panic attack in Wallmart when she stopped there to buy a product she was having trouble finding elsewhere..and it was conveniently nearby. She said the atmosphere in Wallmart was that of just depression. Depressed workers trying to seem cheerful making wages they cannot pay their bills with, scanning over cheap goods universally not made in America. There were negleted babies screaming in carts, ignored by burned out overworked poor mothers, couples bickering over which goods they could and could not afford that month.
She said she almost passed out.
My experience at Target was better than hers. Though, when it comes to feng shui, Target needs a little help. You want to relax when shopping, right? Brings in the customers. But when you walk in Target everthing is FIRE ENGINE RED!! and there are huge BULLSEYES everywhere on posters and their logo with a BIG BULL TERRIER staring you down every aisle. With the terrorism alerts nowadays...the word "Target" even is unfortunate. The "decor" is completed by low hanging ceilings with dismal flourescent lighting.. Your whole subconscious is telling you "RUN!"
