I like Target. I like it better in the U.S. where it's cheaper but to Target's credit they do have all the great beauty brands like Sonia Kashuk, Pixi and others that you can't find in other stores, and their brand Merona for clothing is very nice.
I liked the open store layout, atmosphere.. it was great. I just wish the prices weren't so stinkin' high.
I also found the self-checkout to be kind of annoyingly slow. I scanned a birthday card and it took 30 seconds to register the barcode (WTF?) and then another 30 seconds to pay, which was kind of confusing because the screen wasn't clear about when / where to insert the card and so on. This is the first time it has happened and luckily I am used to self-checkouts so I don't need help at all to figure out what to do, but I'm surprised at how slow it was.
