I was in there today, and shocked. I rarely look at the women’s clothes. I always assume junky and unattractive. But today I was perusing, their swim suits, cute pool/beach bags, women’s athletic and casual wear, PJs, bras and undies, cute tops. Nice muted colors.

You must go to a Target that hasn't been renovated (read: devastated) yet.

Bar the doors when the renovators come!!

I have concluded that the layout was designed by AI rather than humans. The AI used some random algorithm to decide where to locate things. For example maybe it decided that all cylindrical objects should be in the same location. Look! We have chapstick, flashlights and tampons over here! Because you never know!!

Anything can be a tampon, if you're brave enough. Why not try a cylindrical pool noodle? Conveniently stocked right where the tampons used to be.

His name is Brian W-something, I think, but he was at Walmart for an age. I feel like things have gotten so shoddy that I half think he’s a Walmart plant, sent to ruin Target.

Thanks! It’s faux bright in there. The ceramic wood grain tile, unfinished cement floors and dark, dingy beige walls gives it a sad gritty vibe even as the bright lights say, “we’re happy here, aren’t we? everything’s sunny and happy here.” They’re like interrogation lights.

Was at the Target in Rockville -Bou Avenue store yesterday and it is awful!!! We needed birthday presents for kids parties... what a disaster. I told my son that we will now be ordering all gifts online. So sad. Target used to be a well organized store that I didn’t mind going inside to shop... will be doing that online now also.

No store attempts to optimize your shopping experience. Why are the eggs and milk at the back of the supermarket? The ideal goal would be to spread common items throughout the store to ensure you might browse some additional goods.

That makes sense, but only if you can find things, or if there is literally no other option for consumer purchases.

Shovelling everything into random, unmarked bins spread throughout the store would certainly ensure you might browse some additional goods, but only if you don't leave in disgust, never to return.
