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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
