Bricktop please let me know when you go to Target..its always crowded and busy when I go! Sometimes I wonder if saving some $ on cereal is worth the trama.
I was in Target a few times in the weeks leading up to Xmas and it was D-E-A-D quiet. Weirdly empty. So I’m kinda glad to hear that it was very busy right before the holiday — glad for the economy. And even gladder that I stayed away then!
That Target can barely stock their shelves on a normal day, so it’s really no surprise…
When and if you can find what you need, AT Target is a reasonable place to shop. That’s a big IF though, as things are never restocked as they should be. But, prices are fair. Walmart, on the other hand, can’t eve see myself setting foot in there. Anti-humane treatment of workers, anti-fair wages. Not anything I want to be part of.
When the shelves were not restocked amazingly people just bought what was there. Retailers were not taking the chance people wouldn’t buy and they’d be left with unsold stock.
Unremarkable demand remarkable lack of supply!
“just a reminder that we still live in the hood”
True. The Target in Harlem (UWS) is even worse, though. I went there when it was brand new, and wanted to see how long it took before the place became ghetto’d-up. Maybe, a couple months… when I heard a woman complaining that someone had opened a jumbo pack of toilet paper and removed a roll (her actual words were hilarious, though)- I figured that it was confirmed “ghetto”. That stuff doesn’t happen in decent ‘hoods in the suburbs.
p.s. old navy was 1000x worse! talk about a scene and a line. i was there twice as long as target. surprisingly target had a lot of registers open and after weaving through the madness of people the check out was pretty quick and uneventful.
i was there – it was nuts but i got some good stuff and everyone loved their gifts!
Well these pictures definitely prove 2 things –
1. That urban areas like Brooklyn will shop in suburban designed big box stores and;
2. The smaller mom & pops and mid to small chains can certainly compete with the likes of Target -> think of the niche amongst the people who would pay 2% more to shop in a store where someone actually gave-a-shit.
