I shop at Walmart. In TN and FL where I stay there is no Target. There has never been one in TN and the one on FL shut down. Walmart is also cheaper for the same products and they will match prices to any circular you can find
. I love the one stop shopping.
I would say that both stores carry about 90% the same items...the same pet food, the same dry food, the same condiments, the same small kitchen appliances, the same health and beauty items, the same prescriptions, the same bestseller books and magazines, the same candy, the same paper goods, the same cleaning supplies, the same Hallmark cards, the same batteries, the same gas stabilizer, the same oil for cars, the same board games.
The only difference in the items that are sold are some of the home decor which I don't care for in either store and the clothing. Again I don't care for that either but I can buy my hubby's Hane's shirts underwear and socks at both.
Targets look cleaner but probably because the ones I have been into are always empty, lol. They don't have anywhere near the same number of customers per day. The demographics are also different. Walmart is "all" America and they are all over. Target is for the people who insist that Target or "Targee"
sells better things than Walmart when for the most part they sell the same items for more money

My local Walmart used to be really good and then they changed it to a Super Walmart and now the selection is much smaller. I don't like going there anymore but the one in FL is good. The worst Walmart as far as employees was in Naples FL. I have never seen so many grumpy people in one place...I even wrote the company.
In either of those stores I have dealt with good and bad employees...the same as a Lowe's or a Home Depot. American employees are the same everywhere. Some are good and some are bad.
As for returns.....Walmart is easy. Target I had to return a pair of $20.00 flip flops because they made the tops of my feet bleed. So first I was ticked I had to pay $20.00 for flip flops, then I had to make a return trip to a store I rarely go to, and then I had to deal with a grumpy girl at the returns desk
Yeah...don't act so high and mighty. Stores are only good as the management and the employees..and I see the future looking rather dim in that area.
