I don't like their practices &amp; would also come out of the store so angry &amp; frustrated (crappy service, slow lines, fellow shoppers) that I (and DH who shares my feelings) decided that even if the prices are lower, we ain't goin back. Target, hands down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart/page/2#post-1081581 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 07:48:30 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1081581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target.</p> <p>Shorter lines, nicer looking store. More stylish merchandise. Starbucks in-store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1081389 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 02:27:23 +0000 lamariniere 1081389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target for sure.</p> <p>But I don't have either here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1081388 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 02:16:13 +0000 erinpye 1081388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Target! Walmart scares me. In my experience, that People of Walmart blog doesn't lie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1081293 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 00:11:39 +0000 Arden 1081293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: The employee practices I can back up - DH worked there back a few years ago before we were married and it is horrible. The didn't even give him legally mandated breaks. He got a lunch break and that was it - on a 10-12 hour shift some days.</p> <p>He was employee of the month, worked there for a long time, and never got a raise. He made minimum wage even though he worked his tail off and came home wiped out.</p> <p>They were also told flat out that if an employee was overheard talking about unions, they would be let go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1081274 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 23:25:28 +0000 luckypenny 1081274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: a few reasons...</p> <p>1. Their employee practices - poor pay, outrageously expensive health care, non-union (see this article <a href="http://www.pbs.org/itvs/storewars/stores3.html)" rel="nofollow">http://www.pbs.org/itvs/storewars/stores3.html)</a></p> <p>2. They are corporate bullies (<a href="http://m.fastcompany.com/47593/wal-mart-you-dont-know" rel="nofollow">http://m.fastcompany.com/47593/wal-mart-you-dont-know</a>)</p> <p>3. They have the power to do so much good (environmental standards, change public policy) but instead they ship jobs overseas and only do what's best for them</p> <p>ETA: sorry, writing this half asleep and on my phone. I can do more research for you in the AM </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1081251 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 23:05:28 +0000 mediagirl 1081251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: how is Walmart "evil?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1081240 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 22:59:30 +0000 Arden 1081240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do shop at Walmart for some things because I have to - its cheap and beggars can't be choosers. </p> <p>BUT, I strongly prefer Target, both for the shopping experience and in how they treat their employees. And quality - I really like Target's house stuff and some of their clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1081234 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 22:55:51 +0000 Purpledaisy 1081234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target for sure!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1081232 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 22:55:14 +0000 Maysprout 1081232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target but I rarely go there either.<br /> I don't get why people say Walmart has such good prices though, <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2011/03/07/news/companies/walmart_target_better_price/index.htm" rel="nofollow">http://money.cnn.com/2011/03/07/news/companies/walmart_target_better_price/index.htm</a> .<br /> I guess for one stop shopping for everything in your house but if you really are bargain shopping neither place is the way to go, and for groceries at least around where I live target and walmart are both a lot more expensive than shopping at a grocery store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1081217 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 22:47:10 +0000 winniebee 1081217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: worse. No lie!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1081119 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 21:53:46 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 1081119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target all the way. All of the WalMart's I've ever been in always strike me as dirty and grungy. I'm also not a fan of their business practices. I only shop at Target. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1081004 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 20:53:02 +0000 littlebug 1081004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target. I stopped shopping at Walmart after reading Nickle and Dimed and various articles about how they treat their employees. Haven't set foot in Walmart in over 10 years. I shop a ton on Amazon, which I'm torn about now after reading some not-so-nice stories about how they treat their warehouse workers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1080973 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 20:41:56 +0000 MapleMoose 1080973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked this a few weeks ago. </p> <p>Depends what I'm buying. Walmart for camping stuff like propane, or a crate pad mattress for puppy. Target for shower curtains, tablecloths, etc. But like some others have said Amazon is my first choice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1080968 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 20:39:03 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1080968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BananaPancakes: thanks for giving me a case of the giggles. That is one crazy encounter. </p> <p>I am definitely a target person, but am so hooked on amazon that I don't go nearly as often as I used to now that we are done with formula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1080955 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 20:35:59 +0000 betsyboop 1080955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I'm with you! Unfortunately, there aren't really any Wal-Marts nearby. I used to go to wal-mart all the time when I was growing up, but now when I go back, I find it...depressing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1080951 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 20:35:09 +0000 luckypenny 1080951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target.

The target here is pretty crummy and expensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1080871 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 20:17:59 +0000 mediagirl 1080871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol, as always, I am the only Walmart girl.

Shopping at Walmart is never pleasant for me, the parking lot is filled up with long checkout lines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1080844 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 20:10:02 +0000 Kimberlybee 1080844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: I love diapers.com and amazon! I also like buying handmade goods from etsy sellers. I use to not enjoy online shopping. I wanted to have my things immediately upon purchase but ever since I had a baby, online shopping has been so convenient! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1080835 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 20:01:50 +0000 rachiecakes 1080835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: un-nice like the one in Framingham? lol</p> <p>We do Target because its two buildings over from us. When we lived in NY there was a great Walmart, great vegetarian items &amp; produce, great prices on household products. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1080823 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 19:56:32 +0000 T-Mom 1080823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target is preferred, but sometimes we go to wal mart if we want to be amazed at how low our bill is. Seriously it is way cheaper. Partly because they just don't carry a lot of what we want to buy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1080729 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 19:14:50 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1080729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>100% Target....peopleofwalmart.com explains that preference :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1080725 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 19:14:01 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1080725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target! I avoid Walmart unless it's like 3am and we need something that can't wait until morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1080720 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 19:10:52 +0000 yin 1080720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target! I don't venture out to Walmart unless there is a super online deal. In that case, I'll usually have it shipped instead of store pickup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1080633 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:40:22 +0000 loveisstrange 1080633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target.... Although at this point, I'd settle for WalMart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/target-v-walmart#post-1080627 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:37:57 +0000 MsMini 1080627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have only had target here for a couple months, but I prefer it to walmart. </p>
