Speaking of memories, for all these years, I have been shopping at the #Target store where #sonTwo and #Daddy_A worked. I have seen the service slide, followed by stockouts -- even before #COVID-19 -- of specific products, followed by general inventory shortages, followed by replacing known good products with low quality store branded products.
I still go to "Super Target" instead of #Walmart or the nearest supermarket. Or I go to the cross-town supermarket and stop by the Target in that area.
But I'm not happy with them. If someone opened a clean and well-stocked store within walking distance with the quality products I want, I would switch in a heartbeat.

When I was working in one borough, I found a #Target store and discovered a brand of #lotion that I really liked. The last few days, I've been to a few Target stores in the current #NYC borough without finding the lotion.
They (and others) do the same with #yogurt. Except with #yoghurt, there is a tendency to have it the time you decide to try a particular brand and flavor of the product, and then never have it again.

We talked a lot about #Microsoft's purchase of Activision-Blizzard and other game studios and about price comparisons between #Walmart, #Target, and #Amazon.
If an item is available at all three places, I generally prefer to buy it in person at Target, even if it costs more than either Walmart or Amazon.

I can't do the school supplies thing this year, but I did find the wide Kindergarten pencils at #Target, so I bought a few for #A2. #A1 will get standard yellow No. 2 pencils.
#GD1 and #GD2 will also get a few pencils.

When I’m in my #SoCal hometown, I usually walk to do my shopping, so I don’t want to have to visit multiple stores to get what I need. #Target has been the place where almost everything I want is present in one place, with the brands and sizes I want.
(The past year was an exception, as I had to go to 4-5 stores to find everything on the list ... and even then I was usually still missing something.)
I’ve been buying “Mrs Dash” brand salt-free seasonings at #Target for years. Recently, the store has few Mrs Dash seasonings, and plenty of their generic replacement brand. No, I don’t want to buy your “lowest bidder” seasonings.
Neither do I want generic olive oil (that has probably never been near an olive tree).
Nor do I want to spend fifteen minutes trying to get from one side of the store to the other side because the in-aisle merchandise displays impede motion.
-
Just as an example, #Target used to be known for its wide, clutter-free aisles. #Walmart, on the other hand, is known for causing storewide traffic congestion by filling most of the aisle with displays and shelves, preventing customers from getting past slower-moving customers.
-
Over the past few months, #Target has become less and less useful to me.
I’m planning to write a physical letter to them describing what I find wrong and urging them to turn back from the path that chases away previously-loyal customers and eventually leads to bankruptcy.

Found The Ear Book, The Nose Book, and The Foot Book at #Target. Now I have to find time to go to the post office and mail them to #GS3.
-
It's okay. I know that #Target has the same item (for 9c more). I'll just buy it from Target and ask where to ship it.

A lot fewer people at #Target today.

#Little_Boy_A’s birthday gift next year is a #telescope. I revealed it to #Daddy_A last night, as we discussed the great conjunction. I can’t say it is high quality, as it came from the science / learning toys section of the toy department at #Target.
A friend used to ask his nephew to help me choose gifts for my grandson. In return, if I bought my grandson the gift the nephew picked, I also bought one for the nephew. It worked well, since they’re around the same age. But now the friend doesn’t live near the nephew, so I can’t always deliver the perfect gift anymore.

The crowds from last week have thinned. Now at #Target.

#Target's minwage is now $15.00/hour, which is $2.00/hour more than the current California minimum wage. https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/FAQ_MinimumWage.htm

#Target not crowded. Bought travel sized versions of shampoo, toothpaste, lotion, and so on.
-
#Target had #Fortnite for #PS4, but I couldn’t stand waiting long enough for someone to unlock the cabinet. #Little_Boy_A is going to have to wait a while before I can play with him.
-
Afterward, I left the far #Target and went to the near Target. They had #yogurt, but no alcohol.
-
In #Target. Not as crowded today, but this location is out of #yogurt and isopropyl "rubbing" alcohol.
-
Now in #Target. Lines are short today

Today was #coin_laundry day. Most people had masks, some had uncovered noses. Not as crowded today (I didn’t arrive until 15:00 US-Pacific).
Afterward, I went to the store to buy #yogurt and fizzy water (San Pelligrino) for me and juice, #coffee, and fizzy water for my mom. And to replace my hamper, which was falling apart. I was in four different stores, three of which had very long lines. The final store was #Target, and even though it seemed to have plenty of customers, the lines were fairly short.
Two stores had cashiers with their noses exposed. I’d just use a different line if the option was there, but it is getting to be one or two lines open, even if people are queued almost to the back of the store.
One store sounded their alert to bring more cashiers to the front, but by that time, the line really did stretch nearly to the back of the store.

Just as I arrived at #Target, I received a text message: The kids are having meltdowns. We're just going to go straight to Mama_A's sister's house and try to meet later.
