Have yall heard of stores called 'Everything Stores'? I think it is because u can walk in and 'literally buy everything u could possibly need.' This includes food, pseudo-trendy clothes, electronics, and even stuff 2 clean ur bathroom with. These mega-franchises capitalize on 'sweet ass operations efficiencies' and do a bad ass job of putting niche mom-and-pop stores + regional stores out of business. U can even get ur prescription drugs/back2school supplies there.

I happened to notice tons of alternative ppl hanging out in Target, such as the bro above. He seems like he is just chillin. If I had to guess, he was probably buying a Mach 3 Turbo razor in order to shave his burns, and possibly shopping for a functional jacket or sweater at a low price for his 'real life job.' He probably also bought some beer, 7up, and possibly some breakfast cereal.

I wonder why Target is becoming such an alt hangout. Maybe it's because most of their stores have Starbucks inside of them. [Related Post: Do Tweens Rlly drink coffee?]

Maybe it's because their in-store restaurant offers Pizza Hut.

From what I understand, Wal-Mart is for 'truly poor people', but Target's prices are a little bit higher, discouraging the 'poorest people' from shopping there, since their purpose in life is seeking out extreme savings. Target is a viable option for 'upper-middle class people' who don't want to 'be seen with the lowliest members of society.'

Seems like every1 'from our caste' shops at Target.

Here is a picture of your Aunt shopping at Target.

The Posh Spice Beckham shops at the Target.

Christina Agulieraeia shops at the Target Shop. (ain't no other man)

Star of the MTV Channel show 'Our Hills', Lauren Comrad shops at Targets. (Is Halloween Candy on sale yet yall?)

The Poor Man's Natalie Portman (Kirsten Dunst) shops at Target.

Even the host of Project Runway and the guy who sang 'Kiss From A Rose' shop at Target.

Most of the people who live in your gated community shop at the local Target. They seem to be looking for 'Tickle Me Elmo dolls'/'Wii's.'

It seems busy and innovative, as if they have an active 'slave trade' or something.

It seems like Target is a chill place to chill. Like you could go there to buy anything, and it will be quality, and you won't be surrounded by The Ppl of Walmart. I feel relieved that I don't have to shop at WalMart. Whenever I go there, it is usually past midnight to buy something stupid, and it makes me depressed because 'real people' are actually doing 'real shopping.' They have tons of kids running around barefoot, and I feel worried that their dirty feet are transporting diseases and the H1N1. Hand Sanitizer.

It seems like Target has become an authentic Alt Hangout. Sort of like a mix between a 'thrift store' and 'an electro dance club where n e thing can happen.'
