Target is notorious for this. They even used to put signs on the front doors that they were reducing the a/c and the lights to save $$ on their utilities. And it definitely felt a little warm and humid inside. Before anyone calls me a lying liar, this was at the Targets in Burke and Springfield.

Agree with most posters that its much more common to find retail stores that are too cool from air conditioning than it is to find stores that are too warm. OP, if you otherwise prefer brick and mortar, maybe just try some different stores? This is not the universal problem that you suggest.

I will say different people have very different reaction to heat and humidity. I'm one of those who find most businesses over air conditioned and shivering and almost never put the AC on in my car. But other people need the colder temperature mainly because they are overweight and their bodies can't process the heat properly.

The two Whole Foods around me are always clean and orderly.


Wow. Way to bury a fat shaming comment in there. Sorry to dispute your theme but many thin and fit people have issues with humidity too, especially anyone in their late 40’s with any peri symptoms.


You are also making generalisations. I am in my 40s and in perimenopause and frankly the humidity doesn't bother me one iota.

Target for one. Even Walgreens and CVS. I have to pick up prescriptions for relatives.


Towns/zip codes would be helpful.

I’m in Target/CVS/Walgreens and I haven’t noticed this. Quite the opposite: stores are cold so I always bring a sweater.

For not shopping much you seem to go to a lot of stores

No. People in line have been complaining and sweating too.

I have to take a sweatshirt with me any time I go to the grocery store. Trader Joe’s is the worst. It’s 100+ outside but the store is a frigid 65. Even the employee are wearing sweatshirts.

I bet they are setting temps at 78 these days with people and the heat outside it makes the open space hotter.

Tysons Mall is very poorly ACd. It's always hot and humid in there.

This is not my experience at all but I don't doubt you, OP. I think what people are trying to say is that not all stores are like this. What neighborhood or neighborhoods are you shopping in?
