It's in an area where I never travel, so it's conceivable I'd have been ignorant of its existence for years!<BR/><BR/>But having nothing better to do today, I went.<BR/><BR/>It isn't a regular Wal*Mart. It's one of those Mega Mambo Wal*Marts. It was huge, larger than the Sam's Club or Costco that are near my house! I enjoyed touring the place--it was about 20 degrees cooler inside than out.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-1150595678750711952006-06-17T18:54:00.000-07:002006-06-17T18:54:00.000-07:00I think that Target and Walmart have slightly diff...I think that Target and Walmart have slightly different demographics as shown by their ads and the way stores are usually arranged. There's just a more spacious feel to a Target and Walmart does use up their space efficiently which is why they always turn a profit. I personally hate that Walmart has practically driven out normal grocery stores. Now we have these giant boxes where it takes half an hour to get a gallon of milk. I would say both stores stink when it comes to customer service, which is why I avoid them until absolutely necessary.Ellen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845981491726296767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-1150573515222485832006-06-17T12:45:00.000-07:002006-06-17T12:45:00.000-07:00I think one major reason for the preference for TG...I think one major reason for the preference for TGT over WMT is that, to many people who consider themselves as members of an "elite," WMT is just so...tacky, whereas TGT is at least a little stylism.<BR/><BR/>If TGT were shown to have the labor practices of Simon Legree, I suspect this preference would remain largely intact.<BR/><BR/>(Disclosure: I'm a TGT shareholder)David Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464681514800720063noreply@blogger.com
