The Rules

Yeah I really have been turned completely off to Target. I have one really close and the prices alone, but also the experience, are absolutely horrible. Going into an ikea once kinda opens your eyes. You could have a better thing for 1/3 the cost. Also, the fucking internet exists. So why buy anything at a "big box" store.

These companies don't realize what century they're living in. The advantage of a physical store is that you can get what you want NOW. Not tomorrow. Not two days from now. Not whenever Amazon finally gets around to delivering it to you. You can go to a store and get what you need NOW.

That is the entire reason for these stores to exist. Theirs is a market of convenience. But they can't seem to realize that.
