Wait until they hear about why "weekends" exist.
I wouldn't know, I've been boycotting them since they went tried to appeal to fascists.

It doesn't even have to be a boycott. I just no longer have a reason to choose Target over Walmart, and Walmart is cheaper
Aldi and Costco are the way for most of the things I buy though
In many ways Walmart is worse that target. They specifically will go to a town, annihilate its local economy and leave as soon as it becomes slightly inconvenient to their profit expectations.
Not to mention the PR on search engines trying to tell people searching that Walmart is not a net negative for tax payers when a lot of their employees are on social programs. Of they are not paying the taxes, we are. Fuck them.
Edit: relevant video that applies to many big box stores: https://youtu.be/r7-e_yhEzIw
First off, fuck Target.
But it could just be to cheapness. This sign covers multiple sales.
Target is just a more expensive Walmart so it's easy to not shop there when you have choices.
its also shittier choices, they have been shrinkflationing since the pandemic, and so much they removed thier own reliable inhouse brands for even cheaper stuff. unfortunately Walmart is allergic to our area.
Or fortunately, the larger the store, the more it messes up with the local economy. The profits from local or semi local businesses can stay in the area. The profits from the large players are funneled out into accounts waiting for the next thing to invest in, sustainable or not.
Oh, so the long weekend isn't a holiday to celebrate labor? I think we need a holiday to celebrate labor. Let's have another day off for labor.
Or they want to reuse the sign on other long weekends
If that were the only reason, why does their website call it "The Long Weekend Sale"?
Pixels are expensive to change out, and with higher resolution screens, that's a lot of pixels to change.
I'm pretty sure the most efficient choice would be signs that just say "Sale" then.
