#1 As someone once said to me "If God doesn't destroy Hollywood and San Francisco soon, He owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology ".

#2 I believe they've filed for a corporate trademark name change to Targay.

#3 It will be fun to see South Park recognize that Target and Bud Lite are floundering in the water, and hand them an anvil.

#4 P2k, years ago I heard locals calling it in a Faux French accent "Tar-jay" because of acting like an 'upscale shopping experience' and selling the same stuff as Walmart or Sears.

#5 I got in big trouble with my sister by saying "Target is Walmart for stuck up people."

#6 Except it is.

I had the experience growing up watching this. A K-Mart and Wal-Mart were basically right next to each other.

When the K-Mart closed, everyone used the Wal-Mart, and it was fine.

Then a Target opened basically across the street, and everyone who was suddenly "Too Good" to shop at Wal-Mart went there.

I had to check out the fuss. It was the same shit but in red and Kathy Ireland's face here and there.

#7 Still hear #4's "Tarzhay" in Matt Drudge's voice from late some Sunday night back in the millennial timeframe.

#8 And what about Kohl's? Wandered into one once and felt like a prole who'd snuck into the PartiMart.

#9 Kohl's had to split space with Sephora to stay solvent

#10 Target is doomed regardless, but they have chosen the express lane towards insolvency. Two of my children worked there and they remain a decent employer for college age kids. All their stuff, though, is a 10% markup over Walmart for comparable items. Their home goods are tasteful junk that is a season aware from a yard sale or languishing on the shelves at the Good Will. There is nothing there that you can’t get on Amazon with more selection and less trouble. I used to go there for gift cards and such. They are Blockbuster in Red.
