If I shop at Target, does that make me skinny and pretty?

[Shell Beau]

Just sayin' and sometimes I have shopped at Wal*Mart. I don't make a habit of it, but I am not driving across town just to pick up a few things. Wal*Mart is right by my house, but I prefer to shop at Target for all of the obvious reasons.

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. I have to say, i find the people at Target to be better dressed,

acting more professionally, and better at using language appropriately and otherwise more agreeable to be around than the wal*mart crowd.

I find Target to be far less stressful and more enjoyable than Wal*mart, that's for sure. And price wise, truly, I don't there's a spit of any real difference - maybe in the realm of mere pennies.

[Shell Beau]

3. I love Target and shop there way too much. I

definitely prefer it over Wal-Mart and many other stores, but I have shopped at Wal-Mart before.

[anarch]

12. clearly you have never been to the Target at Wheaton Plaza in Maryland

I don't think there even is a Wal-Mart within a reasonable distance, though, so maybe the Target just gets all their potential customers in the area.

2. I shop at Target'

I guess that makes me skinny and purdy too!!! :P

Hey, let's start a club!!!! :bounce:

[Shell Beau]

[Texasgal]

11. Otherwise know as

SPTC!!

We need a secret handshake too! :thumbsup:

[Shell Beau]

13. Yeah we do, I have the perfect one in mind too!! Are you

willing to be the Pres?

[Texasgal]

14. Yeah... I guess so...

You need to be treasurer, because I would be bad with money... you know, money... Target... bad thing!

[Shell Beau]

16. Uh, yeah me too!! I would spend all of our money in Target!

:o

[underpants]

4. A little tip I follow in my life

when visiting the Target always ALWAYS take a walk by the housewares area. Lots of hot mommas there ALWAYS

[Shell Beau]

7. Check out the shoe area too!!

I usually look all over TArget when I go. It is too much stuff for me there to just run in and not look!

[RandomKoolzip]

6. One time I was at a Target in Nashville when...

....my wife and I found ourselves in the shampoo aisle with a mother-and-daughter couple.

This was the conversation they had, verbatim:

Daughter: "Momma, look! Shampoo!"

Mother: (inspecting bottle) "How does people know how it works?"

Not kidding.

[Shell Beau]

9. What?

:crazy:

[EstimatedProphet]

44. You should have told them it takes batteries.

[billyskank]

8. No, but I thought you were both of those things already

:shrug:




:hi:

[Shell Beau]

10. Awwww, you're so sweet and you're pretty too!!

In a manly way!! :)

:hi:

[billyskank]

15. Quite in touch with my feminine side too!

:D

Thank you. :hug:

[Shell Beau]

18. Yay!!

Then you are just pretty!! :hug:

[billyskank]

23. Oh, so I'm not sweet any more?

:P

[Shell Beau]

27. Very sweet! Sweet as candy!

:7

[billyskank]

30. Hooray!

:loveya:

[Radical Activist]

17. I don't know about skinny and pretty but it makes you more attractive

at least in my eyes. I've been boycotting Wal-Mart for years.

[Texasgal]

19. Wow.. so I guess if I happened to be in a wally world

I would be unattractive to you? REALLY?

[Radical Activist]

28. hmmm...

I won't say you would be unattractive. You may be a very attractive person. However, I would find you more attractive in a Target than in a Wal-Mart. :)

[WeRQ4U]

45. However, to find ANYONE in a Wal*Mart......

You must ALSO be in the Wal*Mart. Otherwise, how would you have caught me?

Conundrum?

:P

[Shell Beau]

21. I understand that! Really I do, but some people shop there

b/c that is all they have near them. I, for one, have driven a good ways not to have to go to Wal-Mart, but sometimes it is just too easy for me to run in there and grab what I need. I also had to shop there once during Christmas b/c my brother wanted the Garth Brooks CD collection and Wal-MArt was the only store that carried it!

[Radical Activist]

31. Your brother loses points for wanting the Garth Brooks collection

haha jk
I give a pass to people in small towns where Wal-Mart is the only place in town to buy some things. That's great that you avoid shopping at Wal-Mart most of the time. They've proposed 5 supercenters in my town, two of which were rejected. Its like an invasion and I don't want to see them destroy my community. Not shopping there is the best way to stop them.

[WeRQ4U]

46. I'm with you Shell Beau

I live in a smaller North Dakota town. The nearest Target is 100 miles east of here. Wal*Mart is here, and has been for many years. It has made it rough for local, community establishments and if I can find what I'm looking for elsewhere, I usually buy it there. However, sometimes that isn't possible.

[Fox Mulder]

20. I do all my clothes shopping at Target.

It's a good store. :thumbsup:

[Shell Beau]

22. Yes it is! I love it!

[ZippyTeapoe]

24. The way I understand it, Target contributes to the community

Wal-Mart bleeds the community. The Target by me has lots of young and helpful employees. The Wal-Mart has many fewer employees and they seem to hide or have an understanding English problem. I do admit I sometimes shop there when they have a sale on spark plugs or oil, since Target doesn't sell much automotive stuff, but the Target clothes seem to be so much better quality even though much comes out of China just like Wal-Mart. And yes, at least for a few minutes, I seem much happier walking around Target. Knowing what Wal-Mart does to the community and the employees, I seem to want to bathe and rinse my mouth out when I leave.

Target always has something worthwhile to buy, and when it comes to dog food, everybody seems to be have same price except the Wal-Mart dog food is no name/big bag/my dog won't eat it/kinda stuff. And it smells really bad too.

[LaraMN]

25. I love Target!

They have cute shoes and clothes, and their home department has some neat stuff. They out-class Wal-Mart across the boards.

[billyskank]

26. Hi LaraMN!

:hi:

[LaraMN]

32. Hi Billy!

Wanna do Mr. T Shrinky Dinks with me?

[billyskank]

33. Oh yeah!

That's the best invitation I've had all year! :bounce:

But I ain't gettin' in no plane, fool!

[LaraMN]

36. I pity you....no problem, though...

[billyskank]

37. Imagine seeing that floating through the air after you'd had three buckets

that would wierd you out!

[LaraMN]

39. Yeah, I think I'll stick to:

:rofl:

[Shell Beau]

29. No doubt there!!

I love their country themes they have going on now for home decor!!

[LaraMN]

34. I know somebody who is obsessed with some bedding they have there,

and he has to see if it's on sale every time we're there.

[Shell Beau]

35. They do have some really cute stuff!

But you have to catch them on a good day for their bedding to be on sale!

[LaraMN]

38. No kidding! I've seen sheets marked down, but not the rest of the set.

The coordinating pillows are on clearance, but the other pieces are still pretty spendy.

[Sugar Smack]

40. I don't know, but I REALLY, REALLY miss the hamster!!

:cry: :cry: :cry:

[Shell Beau]

41. But doesn't Matthew look really good!?!

Hamster will be returning soon! I promise!! :)

[Sugar Smack]

42. *sniffle* REALLY?

Yes!! I have nothing against Matt, I really think he's cute, but I so loved the little fella. :)

[tigereye]

43. I love Target

or Tar-zhay, as my mom used to call it before any opened here in PA. It's clean, orderly, they actually open up a checkout stand if there's a line, and they seem very consumer and employee friendly. Plus they have Izzac Mizrahi stuff.

But you are right, SHell, sometimes you have to go to the store that is closer. Which is why if I am in a hurry I head to the K-mart that is 3 minutes from my house.

[Left Is Write]

47. I shop at Target.

I can not be dissuaded from this.

I have been shopping at Target since my mother brought me there as a baby (Target was born in Minnesota in the 60s, just like I was).

I still think of Target the way I did when it was owned by the Dayton family. I still desperately miss the Dayton's department stores.

I know that Target isn't a Dayton company anymore, but my longstanding loyalty to the store can't be altered. I think it's in my DNA.

[LSK]

48. so thats how to loose weight!!!

I been wondering about that!! :rofl:
