To Target....
Worked 9 years at a number of stores during the 2000s. I used to be such a fan. Merchandise was simple and efficient during that time. Great variety. I think the concept of Market was great. I was tired of only be able to get Lunchables or a Lean Cuisine out of the refrigerated/frozen case.
But as of late, store merchandise, in general, has gone downhill.
Mens Clothing used to have a wide range with Cherokee, Mossimo, Physical Science, and a wide range of shoes. Now it seems Mens is almost a forgotten section. No shirts bigger than XL, pants no bigger than 36" waist, a small variety of Mens shoes; located within Mens, not located along with the Womens and Childrens shoes.
Electronics has been downsized to be so basic. Mobile devices and TV being the main focus. With the reduction in MMB merchandise, there could have been an increase in computers and laptops getting into custom or prebuilt gaming setups.
Now Eletronicis has its own location full of toys to fill space.
And there is Clearance. Little to none. No more great finds.
The conversion of Food Aves/Cafes into Starbucks I am just not a fan. There are litterally 2-3 stand alone Starbucks within 5-10 minute drive of my nearby Targets.
Now I just go into Target to walk around and waist time.
