Reason 5000 why I love Target

[romeos mommy]

omg. i didn't know about the anti-american french owned thing. our local targets are soooooo crowded. i like their doggy stuff alot. i've gotten romeo a bed, a really cute jacket and toys that all held up nicely. i rarely go because of the crowds. you can barely find a parking spot and the lines are so deep. our walmarts are the same as far as crowds go. around here walmart has the cheapest dingos, milkbones, exc. i try to shop at locally owned shops to support the little guy. my big turnoff about walmart is that they support the whale killing trade in japan. in japan they kill endangered whales under the umbrella of research. they have such an abundance of whale meat that walmart buys it up and sells canned whale (like tuna) and also uses it in their dogfood. they have not produced any new whale research in 10 yrs. japanese just like to eat whale. i think it's really gross that walmart is involved. i try to boycott all japanese products and walmart. endangered animals need to be protected and americans need to be aware of how other countries contribute to killing populations under sick rules like research. ** sorry for ranting. i'm a whale lover.

I guess if you're illiterate you would still believe that
The Target corporation is based out of Minnneapolis, Minnesota. Something tells me that all these Target haters shop @ Wal-Mart who doesn't even provide their full-time employees health insurance, import everything to keep costs low, throw small business out of town and is totally ANTI-UNION. They fire employees for trying to organize unions. Unions are as American as apple pie. Figure that one out.

Sorry for the rant. I can't stand ignorance.

Target is not, nor has it ever been foreign owned. I wish that people, before they start spreading rumors or try to ruin companies (like this one), would do a little research, read and learn.

My sister in law says the same bad things about Target and wont shop there because they are anti american she says. Yet she does all her shoping at Walmart where everything comes from China sweat shops.

I love Target! I buy everything I need from there and will never buy from Wal-mart!! you're right Kristy, they're the enemy!!

they have better things at Target anyhow! They realy have cute stuff for pets, too bad whenever I go I always get the larger sizes of the cute clothes! I wish my dogs were bigger so i could buy them!

I think if you don't like Target, stay out of this thread? or just ignore it right?

i just remembered something....during Christmas, Target was the ONLY store that wished everyone a "Merry Christmas" and not Happy Holidays.
i was very happy to see that

[lisatodd]

to continue....not to say the other holidays are not as important
