Target Doesn't Want My Money! A Rant.



Recommended Posts

So, I'm out getting my son some flip flops at Target (because I know they ALWAYS put them out in the winter for some weird reason!!) and I decided to pick up some workout shorts, because it's warming up here in the high desert and the Y has sealed windows, and they're cheap with the air conditioner. SO...I go to ask the lady at the fitting room-- "I notice they've redone the store- where has the plus sized clothing moved to I can't seem to find it." She says, "I'll come show you. Right here (pointing to a TEENY TINY rack) is some and one rack over here (small also) and over on that back wall there is a section." (the back wall section was approximately 4 feet long.) Mind you there is a SEA of clothing in this store. ACRES!! I guess all of their Isaac Mizrahis and fancy boy execs have decided that we are far too repulsive to spend money in their stores!!! Well guess what????? If I'm not good enough to waste space in their store buying plus sizes, I surely won't inconvenience them when it's time to buy AAALLLLLL new clothes!!!!! SO THERE!!! THIS IS FOR THEM: :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

I find different Targets have different quantities of clothes in general and plus in particular--try a different Target, maybe! Seriously, though, that's stupid.

The only recourse in my town was the Goodwill. I inherited some donated large shirts from the wrestlers at our town college which kept me through my tent years. No clothing stores in the huge mall near us stocked big and tall ..except Macy's, which I discovered too late. Now I buy in the "normal" section. B)

We have a new Target - and their plus section consists of a rack of tshirts, some sweatpants and leftover sweaters, all mixed in with maternity wear. The entire section would fit in the back of my small SUV. I love their clothes, but they don't love me!

Funny that you just posted this as I was just at Target about an hour ago and I asked they they would be carrying a certain item. I was told that they were going to be going through a major remodel of the entire store over the next 3 months and she could not tell me what they would be carrying at that time.....guess will have to wait and see.

I won't buy cloths at Target any more. I like Victoria Secret, Forever 21,Macys, Jc Penny's, Nordstrum's Rack. They're much prettier also. Hehehehehehe! ;)

Wow, that same here happened here to our Targets! They all remodeled and brought in groceries, and they cut out a BUNCH of other stuff to make room. I can't find anything anymore that they used to have!! They used to have lots of purses, wallets, etc.....most of that is gone.

And the plus sizes.....fuhgeddiboutit.....all GONE! I completely agree with Whoozis above.....ALL of their collection can fit in my trunk!

Very disappointing there lately.

When I go through Walmart and similar stores and see the many customers there that are too big for any of their clothes I marvel at the lacking intelligence of marketers who ignore such a large demographic.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
