what store do you prefer?

(ps: the right answer is Target. why, you ask? why? well, because Target is amazing. and Wal*Mart...is not.)

Ireneparalegal · 05-03-2008, 08:57 PM

Target.

Cactus Jack · 05-03-2008, 08:58 PM

TARGET

PZelda · 05-03-2008, 09:03 PM

Target, let me show you it.

Where else?

PlayOn · 05-03-2008, 09:07 PM

Wal-Mart all the way.
BTW, nice pic. Allison.

InspectorExstead · 05-03-2008, 09:08 PM

love the picture allison. lol.

target! or tar-jhay. that place is like my second home. lol.

PZelda · 05-03-2008, 09:10 PM

Please note the floor lamp behind me. That is also from Target. My chair (NOT from Target, sadly, altho they do sell it there) is blocking my bed, whose bedding set is also from Target.

I consider Target my second home as well. If the one I work at had a produce section there -- the thing that's stopping it from being a Super Target -- ****, I wouldn't have to shop anywhere else! We don't have a tax on food and I already get an employee discount... so I would be set.

EmoJoe · 05-03-2008, 09:19 PM

yeah Target is pretty amazing to be honest. ours isn't a Super Target but it has pretty everything except for food, although we have SNACKS and stuff. my family buys tons of stuff from Target. i make my dad take me there all the time. it's just awesome

*InThisMoment* · 05-03-2008, 09:22 PM

TARGET, mayne. Target rules.

Hollow · 05-03-2008, 09:27 PM

i don't have much of a choice, there's no target around here.

Ireneparalegal · 05-03-2008, 09:28 PM

We have 3 Targets. One mega Target in the mall and two stores. I remember back in the days when I worked at Target. Uugh!

My daughter used to work at Target AND Wal-mart. She hated both jobs.

Number 9 Dream · 05-03-2008, 09:34 PM

Walmart for me....I personally think Target is a little overpriced.

Lee · 05-03-2008, 09:36 PM

Never been to Target, so I say Wal-Mart. Just curious:what is all this hatred
toward Wal-Mart that I see on Sitcoms Online?

DLevine2 · 05-03-2008, 09:50 PM

I prefer Target a lot. But I still like Wal-Mart. Occasionally, I will do grocery shopping at Wal-Mart. Me & My parents like shopping Target a lot.

Chelsea · 05-03-2008, 09:50 PM

Lee, love for Target doesn't necessarily mean hatred for Wal-Mart.

That said: I greatly prefer Target. It's cleaner, the prices are actually mostly either the same or actually cheaper on most of the things I buy, the staff doesn't completely seem ready to walk off the job at the drop of a hat, the lighting is better, the quality of the products are better....I can keep this up for a while.

The problem with being home for the summer is that it moves me squarely away from ANY Target locations - from the house the nearest Target is 90 miles away. The nearest Wal-Mart is "only" 20. Eeep.

When in Lexington, meanwhile, the pecking order is about like this:
Target --> Meijer --> Wal-Mart, with Kroger being about even with Meijer for groceries.
