Target was having issues with grocery sales even before the transgender bathroom dust-up. For some reason they can’t keep their shelves stocked properly. Why go grocery shopping at Target if I am going to have to go to another store to get everything on my list? Grocery shopping is a pain in the @$$ as it is. Having to go to two stores just doubles it.

I stopped shopping at Target before the whole transgender issue. I was once a loyal Target shopper. I loved going to Target, and looking at all the home decor items, the clothes, the electronics. If I wanted a blender, there would be many options to choose from. Then, Target put in their grocery store. The groceries take about 1/3 of the floor space. Everything about Target that I liked was taken away. Limited selection of every item. The home decor and the clothes quality decreased. The grocery store did not have fresh vegetables and meat. I would have to walk all the way to the back of the store to grocery shop, and still have to shop at another grocery store. I then discovered Amazon Prime. Target lost me as a customer long before the Transgender issue, and I will never go back. I love Amazon Prime. UPS knows me very well. The whole management team at Target should be fired, but it is too late for them. Once different shopping patterns are made, they are hard to break.

The Walmart model is full grocery store, the Target model was never that, it was convience store - go for something else and pick up ‘bread, milk, eggs, TV dinner’ while you are there to avoid a trip to a reg store. I suppose it would work for a few people but not overall in this economy where people have less disposable income for the goods target sells.
