Which do you prefer: Target or Wal Mart? And Why?

Definitely Target!  The overall atmosphere is much different in Target than it is in Walmart, for the better.  In my opinion, Target is cleaner, not as "frenzied".  Also, the two stores attract very different types of people!

To be honest, most low-income people don't know the whole story about Wal-Mart. However, a lot of them have worked there, along with myself, and most of us will tell you that company is scum. Their low prices are designed to do nothing but monopolize an entire region's shopping. My manager even told us his aim was to eliminate the rival grocery store. This chain should go to court for predatory pricing. The supermarkets Wal-Mart have are extremely basic, and I prefer the local rival Meijer over it anyday. The good news is that there are stores like Sav-A-Lot and Aldi that you can shop at instead of Wal-Mart. I had the worst employment experience ever in my life at Wal-Mart, management did nothing but spy on employees with their billion and one cameras and harass us for even talking with the coworkers in our department and customers! This store has some weird religious agenda too that supercedes profits...they pay $1 extra an hour on Sundays for employees working that day, even though they screw them everywhere else. Weird place, never work or shop there.

DO NOT WORK FOR WAL-MART. I've been with them for over 5 years and I'm looking at getting out of that F**King place. \n\nThe store manager is an a**. The manager over me (somewhat) is a C**K sucker. \n\nWal-Mart only cares about one thing. MONEY. I've known people be told that they couldn't have a day off cause of this or that and they said fine. F U I quit. It was for a lagit reason that they needed it off, but they didn't care. But the managers can just up and leave when ever they want to.\n\nYou pay a arm and a leg for jack sh*t benifts. DO NOT BELIVE WHAT WAL-MART SAYS IN THE MEDIA. IT IS A BIG FAT LIE.\n\nIf you want retail I would go to Target. When I worked there almost 10 years ago they were great to work for. The benifts here are alot better. But I don't know about know because it has been so long. Things might have changed.\n\nI don't even shop there unless I absolutly have to. I go to Target where I get better quality stuff and better customer service.\n\nTo sum it all up, if Wal-Mart calls with a job offer tell them\n\nTO SHOVE IT UP THERE A**. \n\nthen go and apply at the local Target.

Ameriplan is not a scam.  If we were all the major pharmacies, vision providers and thousands of doctors would not be involved with us.   Get real people.   I get so sick of seeing people say we are a scam who don't put the effort into making anything work or do their research.  Wal-Mart has more complaints than we do. Is Wal-Mart scamming the millions who shop there?  And what company doesn't have complaints/unsatisfied customers at some point?

Lots of people love Wal-Mart because it's cheap, lots of people hate Wal-Mart because it mucks up the economy really bad. \n\nI like watching the cheapies shop there because I know so many pointyheads who wouldn't be caught dead there or at Starbucks or anything else publicly traded or that employs more than 10 people.  The cheapies shopping at Wal-Mart don't really seem happy either though, but I think that's just how they are.\n\nThe one thing that people ignore about Wal-Mart is: sure the stuff's cheap but unless it's a brand you trust, 60 % of what you buy is bound be of substandard, dollarstore, quality.  I never really experienced "you get what you pay for" until I shopped at Wal-Mart.  For pointyheaded elitists like myself Wal-Mart is like the best possible zoo, but I won't shop there because I'm hoity-toity enough to understand what 'quality' means.  \n\nA story?  Well when I was a cab driver, it was readily assumed that anyone going to or from Wal-Mart wasn't going to tip well or at all and that was better than 95% true.

The Target Corporation has slimmed down to compete with Walmart and K-Mart in the United States.\n\nThe nation's #2 discount chain (behind Wal-Mart) now operates nearly 1,400 Target and SuperTarget stores in 47 states, as well as an online business called Target.com. After years of struggling to turn around its Marshall Field's and Mervyns departments stores divisions, the discounter sold them both in 2004. Target and its cousins, including SuperTarget, which sells groceries, and Target Greatland, have carved out a niche by offering more upscale, fashion-forward merchandise than rivals Wal-Mart and Kmart. Target also owns apparel supplier The Associated Merchandising Corp. and issues Target Visa and its proprietary Target Card.\n\nFollowing the sale of Marshall Field's to The May Department Stores Co. and Mervyns to a group of private-investment firms, Target is finally free to focus on its core discount store business. The country's #2 discounter plans to add more than 600 new stores over the next five years, bringing its store count to more than 2,000 stores nationwide. It is also expanding its SuperTarget format (about 140 outlets), a newer 174,000-sq.-ft. grocery/discount store concept that includes groceries under the Archer Farms brand. In addition, SuperTarget has broadening its private-label offerings to include about 2,900 different products under the premium Archer Farms and lower-cost Market Pantry brands. Other formats include Target Greatland (70% larger than regular Targets) and a growing online store called target.com. (Target.com is the third most visited retail Web site behind eBay and Amazon, beating out Wal-Mart.com.) Target has also added dollar sections -- called The One Spot -- to all of its stores. To support its growth, Target is building a huge new regional distribution center in Midway, Georgia, scheduled to open in 2007.\n\nThe #2 discounter is also increasing the selection of merchandise available at Target.com; from about 90,000 items currently, to 200,000 by the end of the year. Increasing online business has also been of focus of late of Target's archrival Wal-Mart.\n\nTarget has distinguished itself from rival Wal-Mart Stores and grown to become the nation's #2 discounter by employing a strategy that relies on exclusive private-label offerings from big name designers. To stay a step ahead of archrival Wal-Mart, which hopes to upgrade its fashion profile with the new Metro 7 line, Target recently launched its Go International program; limited-edition collections from global designers including the UK's Luella Bartley. The Luella for Target collection, available in Target stores for 90 days from February through April is priced higher than previous apparel offerings by the cheap-chic discounter.\n\nOther tie ups with the world of high fashion include Target's long-term partnership with fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi, who joined the discounter's stable of in-house talent in mid-2003. Mizrahi offers a line of chic and affordable women's apparel and accessories. Other designers with exclusive lines at Target include Amy Coe (children's bedding and accessories), Liz Lange (maternity), Mossimo (junior fashions), and the architect Michael Graves (housewares).

I would say Walmart because they carry alot of different products and brands, as for the 99 cent store, they are limited in their brands.

I know people who work in the corporate ladder at Target.  Its very easy to hear negatives about large corporations (only care about numbers, they don't know who you are, etc.).  Truthfully, it comes down to what level you work at in a large corporation.  The lower you are, the larger the chances you have of not being valued.  \n\nAs far as Target goes, I think it is a better corporation to work for.  It is very career oriented and they have a clear business plan.  The people I know like their jobs (although they aren't at the bottom of the chain).  I would recommend working for them.\n\nIf you want more information, check out the link below.\n\nGood Luck!

Have not really thought about it. For some reason in my area, Walmart does not seem to be offering the products I want at better prices than what I can get elsewhere. When I visit friends and family in the midwest it seem the Walmart there seem have better offers.\n\nAs far as the services they offer I have not taken advance of their credit or banking service.

I like Walmart, even though there is alot of hype about it at the present. My mother was a 8th grade dropout who raised 5 daughters, after 30yrs of marriage, found herself divorced and no work experience, Walmart was the only one who gave her a chance, and I thank God for that. Now she has her own place, has med. insurance and can pay for her medical supplies. That was 6yrs ago. Walmart provides milliions of jobs for our economy. They do not discriminate against the disabled. They provide millions and millions of $$ to charities.

No, Walmart is only fulfilling the request of the average consumer. Also remember, Walmart is one of the largest wholesale purchasers of American made products.
