I'll beg to differ. The Targets I frequent are cleaner, better stocked, better quality clothing items (but let's not fool ourselves here), and the aisles and endcaps also are not clogged with tables full of stuff. My Target is better staffed than my WalMart, and they will open new lanes once things start stacking up.
Target also offers an EFT card that discounts 5% off your total and (up until this spring) kicked 1% of the total to the school of your choice. Our elementary school has earned a few thousand dollars over the life of the program. The card also gives free shipping on online orders.
So, to me, it's not an equivalent.
- protomyth 11y agoI don't know if its just new stores, but the recently built super Walmarts are really clean and brightly lit. I do think the Walmart needs more automated lanes, they seem weirdly busy. Walmart has donation programs also.
- kevin_thibedeau 11y ago> they seem weirdly busy. They intentionally understaff their checkout stations to cut labor costs. A far cry from the 80's and early 90's when Walton still held sway over operations and was able to impose strict waiting limits for customers.
- protomyth 11y agoWeirdly it was when the lanes with staff were open. I'm trying to figure out if we're all anti-social or is there some other reason.
