That may be the case for some of 9t, but the other can be true too. Its like when i was in my early 20's i managed a Finish Line store. We sold $300 Starter jackets to look high end, but hardly ever sold one. We sold the crap out of the $100 ones though. We had just enough to put in the window and look good.
True, on the rural point. You won’t see a Target in places like Starke, Palatka or Macclenny FL, but they will have a Walmart. However, Walmart does have stores in urban sprawl areas that could be viewed as economically stressed. In the Jax area as an example, you won’t find Target anywhere on the north side or on the west side, north of 103rd st. But there are more than a few Walmarts. Where I live now in the capital region of upstate NY, no Targets in Troy or Schenectady, but they both have a Walmart. Point being, Target almost always stays within the more vibrant economic areas where Walmart isn’t afraid to move into lower income parts of town.
Interesting, although I’d caution those may just be local anecdotes. There is contrary evidence and conventional wisdom that Target is more urban. https://www.insiderintelligence.com/content/walmart-struggles-find-urban-format-that-works Blighted areas are surely challenging to both Wal-Mart and Target (and generally all retailers who would dare venture alone). Not sure either would go “low income urban” as any sort of intentional strategy, although as Wal-Mart does definitely go low income rural they may have some other deciding metrics about being the only game in town.
I’m mostly being tongue in cheek here, but I have to admit it seems like we are delving more and more into ridiculousness. I’m just making honest commentary. This whole thing doesn’t move the needle either way with me. Target is a private company that can do sell or market however they want, and for the most part I could care less how they do it.
That you don’t care is frightening. And you’re proud of that indifference. Very weird. Very disappointing. America has many like you unfortunately.
So he has a different take and you’re worried he’s not like you anymore? Weird. He’s got the balls to be himself going against the aggressive liberal crowd. He’s got his own beat.
I found it uncharacteristic of him to call it "gross" and to refer to trans women as "dude-women." I expect those characterizations from people who are angry about the whole issue. But not those who only care to the extent gender designations affect others, such as with fairness in sports. I thought my post was light-hearted. I was actually wondering if he'd been drinking or has had a shift of opinion.
Is it ridiculous for the market to find an underserved niche and sell to it? I thought that was the beauty of capitalism? The Soviet Union could never.
It " wanders" to the unspoken truth/result of these junk-tucking men wearing woman's swimwear are doing. Yes, he knows what will happen because it's happening all over our country. Men trying to get into woman's locker-rooms and showers pretending to be woman.
You hear this argument about bathrooms a lot. I was under the impression that anyone could choose to walk into a women's bathroom. Is there a magical forcefield though that stops you unless you tuck your junk and state your female pronouns?
I always feel like people who say this stuff are just saying what they would do TBH. Most people enter bathrooms to pee, but perhaps I can only speak for myself, because I avoid eye contact, so for all I know, there could be all kinds of people trying to look at my junk.
Ah, of course you go to the singers of "Private Eyes" because you think everyone's eyes are on privates
So you're saying that I should be obsessed over whether or not Target sells gay pride items or whether they sell a particular product (swimsuits that conceal a bulge) intended for an extremely small market (transgender persons who want to swim at public beaches or swimming pools). Got it.
