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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
