Wait, so now you are okay with a slight uptick in Walmart? Wasn’t it not too long ago people were anti Walmart too? [/quote]

PP is just reporting the news. No one on DCUM who is boycotting target is recommending going to Walmart.

The only place I have seen recommended to replace Target is Costco. I have become a member and that replaces a lot of what I used to get a Target. And I now go to a small old school hardware store. It hasn't been hard at all for me to give up Target. For me, t is more of an effort to give up Amazon but I have drastically reduced what we spend on Amazon.[/quote]

Exactly, Walmart is used as a baseline. Target foot traffic has fallen 3.3% year over year even as Walmart was steady. That is evidence that this is not explained by the bad economy, but by something specific to Target. At the seven month mark and during back-to-school, one of Target's strongest categories, they are still loosing ground.[/quote]
