Ya'll know I do NOT like Wal-mart! However, you probably see me in there alot...(darn those low prices.) I have never been a Target shopper because I never get to that side of town. Well, I have a feeling next week I will be one of the many faithful followers of the big red circle (when our new Target officially opens!) Here's why:
Yesterday I am buying my student school supplies (12 kids, a LOT of stuff, you get the picture).
I am counting crayons (I'm on #10) when a Wal-Mart employee (who should've been running a cash register...don't get me started on 25 cash registers and they open 2!!!!) puts her arms out to her side and tells me to move back. What?
She stands in the aisle blocking me so that a "crane" can come down the aisle to hang a sign. Now, here's the irony. They are hanging a sign to advertise school supplies to customers. I AM A CUSTOMER trying to BUY school supplies and they are blocking the aisle. Anybody feel my pain??? Girls, I came sooo close to leaving that full buggy in that aisle and walking out! (I know I should've on principal alone, but I had already counted 12 of almost everything!!!!) After at least 10 minutes they finally move and I am able to get my last 2 boxes. Get this...they never said excuse me, pardon me, we are so sorry for the inconvenience...NOTHING! Typical Wal-Mart...customer NEVER comes first! In fact, I don't really know where the customer comes in on their list? Anyway, another lady was on the same aisle and she said this was her last trip to Wal-Mart and then she started talking about Target. She said she "heard" they were having a "secret" opening for anyone who knew about it on July 25th. Anybody know anything? My suggestion is head that way on the 25th and tell them you know the secret! I sure hope Target has my stuff, cause I mean it...I am sick of Wal-Mart!!!!

AMEN!!! And I say that with all the fervor I can muster, girlfriend!! I *hate* the way they treat people at WM, and I cannot wait for Target to open. I just hope their standards for customer service are better.
You know, even if you would have left your buggy, they *still* wouldn't have gotten the point!
Just reading your blog fires me up as I remember all the ways I've been treated at WM. I do go there for some items, but I started going to Publix just because of their awesome customer service. I am looking forward to Target and I'll give the 25th a try!
Unfortunately Target is not much better, the one of 280 is horrible, 50 lines with two open, and over all the store always feels dirty to me. I am sure for a while the one in Alabaster will be good, but as business drops it will result to the same results as Walmart. But there is even bigger hope at least on the grocery side of things. The new Publix has been confirmed right off our exit. YEAH! Good fruit, meat and customer service on my way home from work!
I hate to admit it, but I do love my Walmart! Actually I love target too...actually I love all discount store! (And when they treat me ugly I just say to myself well what did expect I'm shopping at a discount store!)
