I think it has more to do with everyone being so broke from food, vehicles, and housing.

Yeah but isn't that the place to buy food? If foot traffic is down it means people buy their essentials elsewhere.

Most Targets have only a small section for food and their prices are higher than most other places. Target is essentially a Walmart for people who can afford to not have to go to Walmart.

I dunno what your grocery chain is, but target is one of the cheaper around. Nothing is as expensive as Safeway, even whole foods is cheaper.

No, they sell food but it's a tiny part of the store usually.

Both Turkey and the Balkans have shown us the way. Regular universal boycotts.

We need to break capitalism.

Heh, I'm a balkan in the US and have dropped so much cold turkey after being a loyal customer/fan for decades. Closing my wallet and heart is easy. Money and attention should go only where its deserved.
