I'm not surprised. I have always thought that they were a "ghetto" version of Walmart. They try to model everything about their stores after Walmart. But their quality seems to be lacking, and their lack of selection is amazing. I have been to Target several times looking for replacing items I needed, and it is surprising how limited their stock is.
I visited a half-dying KMart a few years ago that was even worse. They were nothing more than a very large "general" store, with lots of certain items, and few or zero of others. It's as if they only bought what was available in bulk discount from suppliers. I really think that is similar to the way Target supplies their stores. Just not as extreme.
But Target is more like a combination of a bulk-supply general/drug store with lots of sale items, and a more limited Walmart.
Sounds like from experts erports the breach is likely a inside job by employee or such. Alot of agree people tonight on news who say they can't even reach them phone or computer to cancel the target card. Seems a lot of people found out they have been victims.

This affects ANY card used, ATM, standard credit cards, it's not confined to just Targets own card.
JPMorgan/Chase just issued a statement that they are putting a $100 cash/$300 charge limit on their debit cards.
And "Oh so sorry but your card is at risk".
I received communications from Discover's fraud unit regarding suspicious activity on my card. The activity triggering the call was a $220 charge at a Target in Maryland. I do not shop at Target and definitely don't shop in Maryland. So my Discover card is shut down.
I have wondered whether there is a tie-in to this Target incident or whether it was just coincidence.
