Well, I think Walmart is doing better because they have lower prices.


Target's prices are higher.


And, whenever I'm in Walmart, if you look at the people in line at the register............for the most part..........all they're buying is groceries.


Granted, they definitely have more retail inventory, but that's not what most of those baskets are filled up with at the checkout line.


Target's starting to realize that they're gonna have to move closer to a Walmart model.


Simply because all of that retail inventory they have isn't making them as much money as it used to.

Walmart also has a free delivery program with members. I don't know if Target does

It still amazes me that spam is treated like a delicacy in Hawaii.

Target's stuff seems better. I don't fuck with Walmart, but Targets products to seem to be worth more just by looking at them.

I wouldn't say delicacy but it's def versatile af and a staple of they culture

Yeah, delicacy might be too far.

Still, we always considered it to be junk meat but ate it because it was cheap. They don't consider it junk. They serve it right alongside what others would consider high quality food.

True.


Thing is, if they're slashing inventory, customers must not be willing to pay as much for it as they used to.


So, what's going on right now isn't about the quality of what they're selling........just people not buying as much due to inflatiion.

Yeah, Target's basically playing catch-up now.

McDonald's and Jack in the box had it on their menus lol

True. I think Target was trying to fill a price/quality gap between stores like Walmart and Bed Bath Beyond. They might be finding that catering to that crowd is too niche to support a big corporation.

Walmart also offers their members with gas discounts too

 

[deadeye]

So basically there's gonna be a bunch of men walking around in booty chokers this summer. Ugh.

Clowns doing this for women, but they don't realize they might get some unwanted attention in the process.


Case in point:

 

[The Lonious Monk]

McDonald's and Jack in the box had it on their menus lol

lol Yeah I know, but it was an appetizer on menu of some of the high end restaurants too.

Like you said, they see it as being versatile.

Ahhhh nvm then

thanks man

 

[deadeye]

Walmart's way ahead of the game.


Target probably assumed their high-end customers would always be there for them.


Now they're starting to realize that they have to do more to appeal to Walmart's demographic.

Membership benefits are definitely something that people look at IMO

No doubt.


Target will probably start looking into that too.

Lmaoooo yooooo. My coworker just pinged me this.

"Hi, How are you? Can I talk to you one on one? Please give me time to share my personal feelings"

Lmaooo. Idk how to respond.

If dude tells me he loves me, I might hook off

I would just respond by saying:


"Personal feelings about what?"


Get everything documented on email in case dude's trying to set you up to get caught up in some HR bullshit.
