    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.

          Hey man, you don’t have to get defensive because someone pointed out a better, cheaper way of doing things.

          The thing is it’s not better, better is subjective. For a person that likes to collect media is pirating movies better? The ego on display here is crazy.

          I seemed to have triggered you because you think the way you do things is the best. It’s not, sorry to break it to ya.

          Just feels like you’re insecure because you can’t tolerate someone promoting how to get things for free.

          I get that dollars might be how you measure the value of every little thing, but to some people cost isn’t the only factor. Some people are willing to spend $10 to own a movie they like. But you would call them dumb, and if they explained why you’d call them insecure. Your stance is transparent.

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

          And your assuming that matters to everyone. It doesn’t. Again you’re assuming what people should value like it’s some fact.

          Yeah the rest of your comments keep going into personal attacks. Lots of name calling and assumptions, seems to be a pattern.

          You can start using your brain before your wallet at any time!

          And you can start using yours any time. It’s easy. Just imagine people who think differently than you and what they might want or value. It’s called empathy.

          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.

          Wow, so defensive. Either I agree with you or I’m being taken advantage of huh? Sounds like your ego is 90% of your personality.

          You’re way is not better. You just have too much who and pride to accept that others might value different things.

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