    Last time I was in a Target they literally had nothing for me to buy. Just aisles of useless merch. Ended up getting a drink because I was thirsty and that was it.

    No Xbox games, old PS5/Switch games, horrible book section, no movies to speak of, no decent olive oil… Just a bad scene.

    It’s like they aren’t competing with Walmart or Kroger anymore and are just trying to be a super sized 7-11.

      I mean, these places are just grocery stores at this point. That’s all Target is for me.

      If I bought games, I would just buy them digitally or order a physical copy if for whatever reason that’s what I want.

      Books? Free downloads at anna’s archive.

      Movies? Free streaming sites and 1337.

      Olive oil…? Decent? Isn’t it all kind of the same thing? Lol. But yeah, that’s just a grocery item you can get anywhere else.

      They are competing with Walmart and Kroger, as a grocery store. That said, it’s not much of a competition because you can buy the same damn groceries at Walmart for cheaper than Target, always.

        Not sure what you like consuming, but no, olive oil is not all the same. I’ve produced it several times.
