Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. When our 1st Wal-Mart came to "town", it was like a feeding frenzy in a shark tank. Oh did the "neighbors" scream, "Not in MY backyard"! They didn't want traffic problems.

MODERATORS

What DID happen was business growth for the entire area. People had jobs, the housing market was great, and our "city" made money hand over fist with sales tax. Jump ahead several years, when the city's growth spread toward smaller towns.

They flocked to OUR neighborhoods. The people have spoken As for Micky D's, people have been eating there for over 50 years No, it is not the restaurant chain's fault. No amount of lost freedoms by our government is going to change that. Don't they now have chain stores and restaurants also? I bet they don't need laws to keep their freedom of choice, like our country seems to need to do.

More are sure to come. One person found this helpful. I enjoy this author a lot.

She puts into writing the way I think. Hope she puts out more books really soon. This book made it really clear why people support McDonald's and Walmart, Convenience, cost, good products, Especially for us that are on a tight budget. I enjoy the style of writing and the fair insight.

She wasn't writing about 'data' but just her opinion. Some people need to lighten up and just enjoy the insight. Would love to sit down with her and have coffee. I think she is funny, insightful, interesting. Reads like a fan club letter. I enjoyed this book very much, I can't say much about the style, or whether it was grammatically correct, or whether it fit any critical criteria, all I know is that as I read it, I wanted to continue to the next page and on until it was done.

Although I am more a fan of Burger King, with any fast food, or big box store, the idea that I can go in and get what I want, and know that it is going to be the same where ever I go. But the price differences exist literally for everything and it is time consuming to do so. I didn't even bother to enter their store because I know I'll be better off elsewhere. And I don't have to pay the 5 cents plastic bag in Walmart.

Also, in Canada, there is a chain called Loblaws and Maxi which have low prices like Walmart, cleanness and customer loyalty program like Target and beautiful furnishings like IGA I love yellow very much so I love Maxi very much. If anybody wonders why Target failed miserably in Canada, it had nothing particularly good to stand for. Yeah I think if you have to price match like 10 items or more than its absurd. But the whole point of a target is to get all the shopping done in one place. Too bad it didn't work out for you. And FYI , target gets rid of their stuff often. Let say an item was on the shelf for like 6 months.

They will more often and not go to clearance and you can score a lot of good stuff from there. And this was before they decide to close target. Too bad I didn't know this. In my city Target always opens right next to Maxi so I didn't even bother to go inside because of the horrible impression they gave me.

Product details

I did hope Target could work for me as well, but the prices were absurd, like Amazon Canada. Yeah first impression plays a part for sure. And yes target is nothing like the American counterpart partly because it was ran by the idiots that drove zellers to the ground. But it's still cheaper than retail.

And you don't even have to line up! Well, there are three levels of Target. Target tends to have more of a "normal crowd" here, and well Here is a link. I visited Australia for a summer back in The Target I visited is nothing like the American Target stores. Honestly it was closer to the bland second floor of a JC Penney. I dont get it either. But generally speaking Target's are far better maintained and have much better customer service than the wastelands that are walmarts.

Gotta disagree with you on this one, there is nothing better then a couple of those buck doubles. It might just be my area but all of our targets are really dirty and warehousey while all the wal marts near me have fancy stone floors and are super clean. Yeah, if you actually want quick decent coffee, its mcdonalds or dunkin. If you want seasonal calorie drinks, starbucks. I do that because I don't actually like coffee.

But I do like syrup and sugar and milk with a little coffee in it occasionally. It's too expensive for what it is to have it regularly. McDonald's coffee is really bad compared to Starbucks. I used to work at a Starbucks their coffee actually smells like coffee, I don't know what kind of stale garbage McDonald's sells. Their egg mcmuffins are tits though. Their over the main counter stuff is average but all the stores have a full cafe's in them now that do full on Batista coffee and cake and biscuits n shit.

Target customers are getting taken for a ride, thinking that they're getting higher quality goods.

Walmart and McDonald's are suddenly copying one of Chick-fil-A's winning strategies

It's the floors, despite everything else, it's the floors. It gives you the warehouse look. So you subconsciously feel like you are not in a store, because it's all tile everywhere. It makes it feel more unnatural, like it's trying to be a sterile environment that you do not belong in.

Target has carpets, that's only difference structurally.

Every single step is a clomp, it's wrong. As someone from England, it's making me feel rather uncomfortable with the idea of a carpeted supermarket. How do you push trolleys around? The carpeting is only around the clothing sections. Anything else is is structured in aisle format with solid floors. Then when you get into sections like the clothing racks, where there's not enough room to push a cart, you'll get low pile carpet.

The carpet is actually short enough that pushing a cart isn't terrible though. I live within 10 miles I don't necessarily agree with TheMightyBarbarian's point, but in my experience Targets have carpeting specifically in the clothing department and tile everywhere else. It's a hard-pile carpet. The fibres are short and tough as compared to the carpet that you'd have at home which is designed to be softer on the bare-foot.

Usually where all the clothing sections are there is carpet. This; my local Walmart has literally never been remarkably dirty.

Special offers and product promotions

It's just a big convenience store where I can buy anything at anytime, and there's nothing about Target that makes it superior apart from the fact that their marketing apparently works better at fooling Reddit's embarrassing pseudo-intellectual userbase. It's the same thing with restaurants like Applebee's and Chili's. Is it gourmet dining? Is it as affordable as eating a diet of nothing but lentils?

But they serve food, and if I'm hungry maybe I'll fucking go there? I will never understand how these people are able to derive any sort of satisfaction from telling someone they're inferior due to a shopping choice. Who the actual fuck cares? Walmart's "always low prices" marketing actually draws value from having a more spartan store design. It subconsciously says "no money wasted on frills". You pay for the cleanliness, better lit store, open aisles without full pallets of goods strewn all over the place, and not having to look at or deal with the people who shop at Walmart.

I don't expect higher quality goods, but when attempting to be a somewhat mindful consumer, Target is the better choice. Wal-mart is one of the worst companies in the world in terms of social responsibility. Target isn't incredibly better, but it is better than Wal-mart.

I try to avoid WalMart. It's just not worth the angst. Target can be annoying - entitled soccer moms and Target's policy of apparently randomizing the shelves every three months come to mind - but it's so much better than WalMart. If you must shop in a big-box store, it's the way to go. You're being taken for a ride if you think you're not paying a price for cheap shit from Walmart.
