She has a 48 minute video explaining in great detail why she doesn't shop at Target. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPVSj9rcK-E

I haven't shopped there since sometime before the pandemic. I think I went in looking for something I couldn't find anywhere else, and they didn't have it either. That was the last time I was in the store. They don't have anything I want that I can't get somewhere else. The store near me could disappear, and I wouldn't know it for years, probably, I never go to that side of town.

I stopped years ago, but not for moral reasons. I'm just mad at how they left me behind.

Target used to be a place where the average Joe could go in and buy staples, like a blue shirt. Hey, I need a blue shirt, I'll go to target.

Then they killed off all of those lines and store brands for designer labels and other bullshit. If I wanted designer labels I'd go to their stores, no idiots I want a blue shirt. Nothing else.

I'm probably the minority there, but I just stopped going. I don't want Kate Spade pants or whatever. I just wanted pants at reasonable price.

Sounds like you just wanted a Walmart that charged 15% more for everything in exchange for not shopping at Walmart.

I love Kirkland t-shirts from Costco, although I have heard they are thinner and shittier now. Mine are several years old.

Oh hey, me too. I hadn't even noticed it's been so long.

Stopped in 2023. Signed up for Costco.

Looking forward to Target being the new Sears.

Fuck 'em. I'm glad Target failed so spectacularly at entering Canada. They'll never be remembered for anything else but that embarrassment here. Seems they've never stopped making asses of themselves.

I bought a jar of butter chicken sauce from Target while I was holiday shopping last month. Best by date of April '27. Plastic seal on the lid was unbroken.

I opened it earlier this week and it had mold growing on the top.

So there's two reasons to hate them for you.

I don't hate them because of a random off product didn't make the expiry date. I hate Target because they bowed to the right and gave up DEI and became red Walmart.
