In Bullhead City, AZ, Target (lousy store IMO) parking lot is almost always empty, at Wal-Mart, hard to find a parking place.
I remember when Target bragged about going upscale, just in time for the bust.
Dollar General has anything I would be interested in purchasing at Wal-Mart and I save money because I don’t walk around the store wasting, energy and picking up more useless Chinese junk
My personal opinion is that some liberal loon convinced WalMart they needed to emulate Target but in ‘green’. I hate going there so much so that I will go to other stores so as to escape the ‘green’ environment.You are right! See: GORE STORE NO MORE (Wal-Mart: "Green" Doesn't Sell)
Former Al Gore senior aide Leslie Dach dared to dream:In July 2006, Dach was installed as the public relations chief for Wal-Mart. He drafted a number of other progressives into the company, seeking to change the company’s way of doing business: its culture, its politics, and most importantly its products.
Out went drab, inexpensive merchandise so dear to low-income Americans. In came upscale organic foods, “green” products, trendy jeans, and political correctness. In other words, Dach sought to expose poor working Americans to the “good life” of the wealthy, environmentally conscious Prius driver.
How did that all work out?
Walmart has been tilting Left for several years. It quit displaying handguns several years ago, although if persuaded, the attendant in the sporting goods section will reach under the checkout stand and drag out a catalog. And, with their ammo, not much variety is stocked anymore. Personally, I go to the local Cabelas now for my shooting and hunting stuff now.
