I’ve got something I need to say and some of you may not like it or agree with it.
But I still have to get it off of my chest. It’s something I’ve been holding in for a long time so here goes.
Champaign Target, you are going downhill.
There, I said it.
Seriously, what is going on with you? Your concessions area is hardly ever open anymore.
I used to smell that delicious popcorn smell from the parking lot. That smell actually enticed my kids to go shopping. Now, I smell nothing. And it makes me sad.
How can I shop peacefully with my children if I don’t have popcorn to feed them? A bag of your popcorn could get me at least halfway through a shopping trip before I had to start throwing chocolate and cell phones at them.
Now, we barely get past the dollar bins and I’m already shooting them the #momglares and wondering if parenthood was the right decision. (Just kidding on the last part.)
Also, not to brag or anything, but I’m pretty sure my knowledge of where stuff is and what’s on sale is much, more extensive than many of your employees. #justsayin
So what happened? Was it the groceries? You added the grocery department and it was just too much?
I’m not here to judge. I just want to find a solution. Can we please just put our heads together and figure out what went wrong so I can get that warm, fuzzy feeling I used to get when I walked through your doors?
Yes, I’m sure your dollar bins will still keep me coming back. And I applaud your support for gender-neutral bathrooms as well.
So while I’m not totally breaking off our relationship, I’m hoping, together, we can find a way to #maketargetgreatagain.
