    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 all olive oil is the same. That’s true for a lot of groceries.

        Also some people enjoy owning movies they like or buying them to support them.

        With your “order everything mindset” why but just order groceries too instead of going there?

        Just feels like you took your life and wonder why everyone doesn’t live that way lol

          Hey man, you don’t have to get defensive because someone pointed out a better, cheaper way of doing things. Just feels like you’re insecure because you can’t tolerate someone promoting how to get things for free.

          We own what we torrent more than what we buy, because buying media usually involves some form of DRM.

          With your “order everything mindset” why but just order groceries too instead of going there?

          Weird thing to point out, but I never mentioned going there in person. I actually do order my groceries. This makes me further believe that you are insecure and grasping at straws because I dared to mention how I get better deals than you.

          You can start using your brain before your wallet at any time! But doing so would mean accepting that you’ve been getting taken advantage of up to that point, which I doubt you’re prepared to do.

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