  1. I won’t be surprised if Target goes under in the next 5-10 years. Do they have a target market anymore? MAGA still hates them for selling Pride month shirts. Now liberals hate them for kowtowing to the orange moron. I guess that leaves you 35% of the country who doesn’t vote. Obviously the entire right and left won’t be boycotting, but you sure are alienating a lot of people.

    On top of that, Walmart has been investing heavily in their stores. I hadn’t been to a Walmart in a decade until this year, and was surprised to see some of their stores are just as nice as Target. I also save at least 20% buying the exact same goods.

    Costco is where I do most of my shopping, and I never go to Target anymore. I suppose I probably would if they were within a mile of home, but there’s no reason to shop there for me anymore.

    1. If you think Target is going out of business any time soon you’re just a moron. Go to any Target…they are always busy. They have everything you’d need and aren’t trashy like Walmart. If you aren’t wearing PJs or smoking a cig then you technically aren’t even allowed in Walmart. At least at Target it looks like most of the customers and employees have showered in the last month.
