Maybe behind the scenes, like with the corporate structure or something, but Target actually makes an effort to achieve aesthetics better than “clashy crazy UFO warehouse.”

I can’t stand shopping at Wal-Mart, and that’d be true even if I didn’t know of Wally World’s more egregious business practices.

You don’t have to pick through trash to find stuff that was thrown out. I found a toaster, a toaster oven, and an apartment-sized deep freezer at various times, left *next to* a dumpster. It was as if the previous owners were saying, “Well, these still work, but I don’t have time to find them new homes the normal way…” It was all hard surfaces and they cleaned up fine. The freezer WORKED. Later I combined households with someone who had a bigger freezer and I sold mine for I think $25. Huge win.

I draw the line at upholstered anything though. My adopted hometown has some kind of a bedbug epidemic going on right now. Not to mention I have no idea what happened on top of that upholstery generally. No. Way. In. Hell.

@tfpHumorBlog Well it’s like you said, you don’t get Target. Clearly this is true.

@tfpHumorBlog yeah, go with the latter. haha 🙂

@tfpHumorBlog I’ll be sure to keep that one on my list 🙂 He can thank me later. He’s lucky I’m such a giving wife.

@taraleigh2020 I give her my presence, which, let’s face it, is quite a gift. Hmm. Maybe a Tiffany tennis bracelet is better. Ha.

@Jennyh247 I am going to make you crazy right now. Target is just WalMart with more red.

@EFFBlog I recommend not making out with a random dude at BlogHer NYC. I’ll be watching and reporting back to him!

 @TeaUnsweetened  Yeah, that would be grounds for divorce.
