Comments on: I Love Me, Man: The True Target-Minnesota Connection http://cashonthebarrelhead.net/2009/05/i-love-me-man-the-true-target-minnesota-connection/ one family's quest for positive cash flow Sun, 06 Jun 2010 08:18:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Jennifer Margulis http://cashonthebarrelhead.net/2009/05/i-love-me-man-the-true-target-minnesota-connection/comment-page-1/#comment-267 Jennifer Margulis Fri, 15 May 2009 19:54:26 +0000 http://cashonthebarrelhead.net/?p=649#comment-267 I've only been in Target once or twice and I found myself completely depressed. I stopped going after I saw a lady in an aisle smacking her son (he was about two) on the side of the head. It was so violent and horrible. I wanted to call child protective services but this was before I had a cell phone so I asked a clerk to speak to her. The clerk -- who was probably only a teen -- got his manager and I left the store. It was just so sad. Maybe it was a coincidence that it happened at Target but I doubt I'll ever go into that chain again. I'd rather buy the things I need at goodwill and other used clothing stores, where the prices are better. I’ve only been in Target once or twice and I found myself completely depressed.

I still do for some things, but I have major gripes about the plus-size clothing dept. I used to buy a lot of clothes there, but not anymore. My store has the plus-size dept sandwiched between maternity and mens without a definite area of its own - it's sending me a message that says "you're so fat we're not sure if you should wear maternity clothes of men's clothes and honestly we really don't care". There are just a few racks of plus-size clothes, yet more than half of American women are size 14 and up! I also no longer like the styles they offer. I don’t live in MN but I used to love Target.
