Let’s all be honest, Target is better than Walmart. I don’t go about this statement lightly. It’s taken me 19 years to officially decide that, yes indeed, Target is the best. In case you needed some convincing, here are five reason why Target is my number one (and should be your number one) always.
1. The Workers
For some reason, the workers at Target actually want to do their job. They will literally help you find whatever you need, and they’ll seem completely happy to do it. The last time I was in Walmart, I asked a woman for lettered balloons. She looked at me like a was a fish out of water and replied with a very rude no. Turns out they did have lettered balloons—thanks, Walmart lady.
2. The Atmosphere
I am never nervous to go into Target. I don't think a creepy old guy will hit on me, and I wish I could say the same about Walmart. Nine out of 10 times I go to Walmart, a creepy old guy will try to talk to me. Is there some sort of sign in Walmarts that says, “Great space to hit on young women just trying to shop.”
3. The Quality of Products
Target clothes and shoes literally last forever. I have a swimsuit I bought from Target in the eighth grade, and guess what—it still looks awesome. This is not the case for Walmart. I have bought a shirt from Walmart that actually had a hole in it when I got first got it.
4. The Types of People
Why is it when you walk into a Walmart, 99 percent of the people you see are wearing wildly inappropriate clothing? At the Walmart in Cantonment, Florida, you couldn’t walk into the store without expecting to see at least one butt crack. Wear clothes that fit people, it's common courtesy.
5. The Amount of Time Spent in Stores
I could literally go to Target five times a day and still walk out with twenty things each time. This is both a good thing and a bad thing: good for target, bad for my wallet. I find myself going into Target for one thing and coming out with five, and they aren't even what I originally intended to purchase. However, if I go to Walmart, it is literally for a specific thing. I am not there to shop and spend time looking around.
