5 Reasons Why Target Is Better Than Walmart

Five of the many reasons.

We have all had to make that crucial decision in life? "Where do I shop? Walmart or Target?" There's only one right answer to that question. Walmart.... GOTCHYA. I'm not one of those freaks. Target is your one-stop shop, and to speak the name Walmart out loud should be considered blasphemy.

1. The Quality

Target carries higher quality products in certain departments such as kitchenware, furniture, and meat. The kitchenware at Target is not only more durable and of a higher quality, but many times they also carry things in different colors. The same goes for the furniture. Walmart, overall, has good food for good prices, this is true. However, the quality of meat at the deli is atrocious.

2. Cleanliness

It's not unusual to see something- let's just say- not as it should be. There might be messes, disorganization, and dirty bathrooms in a Walmart. Many times, it is not kept to the standards that it should be. Perhaps they leave all their cleaning for the end of the night rather than doing it throughout the day? We may never know. The employees at Target are always hard at work fixing up the story to be both clean and aesthetically pleasing.

3. Wider Isles

If you have ever been to Walmart, there is a strict 2 lane policy when it comes to the isles. There is no wiggle room to that rule whatsoever. It is a whole new kind of traffic jam. On the upside, giving your child the shopping cart will give them some valuable lessons in the rules of the road. Steering, navigating, and trying not to hit anyone is good practice for them.

4. Employees

The employees at Target are much more polite and ready to help. They smile at you and are eager to help. When you go to Walmart, making eye contact and smiling at the greeter will result in awkward side eye and no response at all. The greeters are surprised when you actually say hello back to them, and they don't know what to do next!

5. The Clientele

All I'm saying is: you never see someone wearing fuzzy pink slippers and a superhero cape doing their weekly grocery shopping in Target. It's no mystery that the creeps come out to Walmart, especially at night.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
