To those living under a rock for the last several years, Target is like a slightly upmarket Walmart, but with less white trash.
Last time I was in Target in Montana, they have a massive choice of food, cool lazy sod freindly Betty Crocker meal in a box things (beef stroganoff etc) and all the weird and wonderful food brands one cannot get up in the great white north.
So. Finally popped into the one at Signal Hill.
Ah. Target came up from the ol' USA, but they didn't bring USA pricing model with them.
More like Yukon Canada pricing model.
To add insult to injury as far as the food is concerned, it's the same old crap everyone ELSE sells, but Target sell it for MORE!
None of the stuff grocery wise I saw in Montana. None of it. Maybe a few own brands here and there, but nothing to go whoop dee doo about.
Oh, and $1.77 EACH for a box of KD?! ONE DOLLAR SEVENTY SEVEN?!? FOR. ONE. BOX.
One can tell the success of a business, by how many beeps one hears at the check outs. Listen..... *wind blows....tumbleweed.....a distant church bell tolls...*
The whole place, has that kinda sparse, spaced out thinly stocked feel about it, kinda remids me of ......wait a minuite...ZELLERS. Oh the irony.
Yep, the check out area was like a ghost town.
Walked over to real canuckistanian stupidstore 100m away.
"BEEP BEEP! BEEPBEEPBEEPY BEEPITY FLIPPIN BEEP!"
Somehow, I don't think ol' RCSS has much to worry about Target moving next door.
Not finished yet, the mens clothing area. Mens black T shirts? Woeful flim flam thin, Walmart ones are better quality, thicker, and I can find ones with a bit of spandex in them which means they keep their shape better.
Nothing to see here, move along, nothing to see!
