Shopping at Target used to be a culture. It was seen as the upscale version of Walmart. Guests bragged about finding things at target and joked about getting lost in it for hours while browsing.
I never understood this phenomena myself. Even during its prime. The entire b&m model was so outdated to me. I used to prefer shopping online via Amazon.
Then they enshittified the platform, quality of goods dropped tremendously. Then the stories of poor treatment of warehouse workers and last mile delivery workers was the last straw to me.
Now my retail shopping consists of preferring local groceries and trying to buy direct from brands that I like. I don’t even care about the free shipping anymore. It’s all a farce these days and it’s just an added cost to items now (even if you don’t return the item).
I know some people love this, I just don’t get it really.
If rather walk around somewhere I can enjoy instead of somewhere that the only thing to do is buy stuff. Browsing and walking around, looking at things I don’t need, can’t afford, or don’t want, isn’t fun to me. I’d rather just research, find the best one, and get that one, then take my dog for a walk.
No shade, it doesn’t hurt anyone, I just personally never got it.

I love a physical store. Get some exercise. Walk around. Browse new products. Hold them. Try things on. Online will never replace shopping for me.
