How dare they?


They didn't call, they didn't email, they didn't even put a sign on the door. They changed my Target without even letting me know.



The Target in Walnut Creek has been completely rearranged. Be thankful that I am warning you, because I was alarmed when I walked through the doors. The store that I used to be able to waltz through in under an hour with my eyes closed is now a disorderly confusing mess because nearly everything has been moved.



Why? Why did they change Target? Have they no sense of propriety and consumer relations? We all know Target has been going downhill with their return policy (what? I have to spend the same amount of my returned impulse buy in under 15 minutes or its void?) but to move the aisles on me? That's unconscionable.



It's severe, people. I'm not just saying they moved the merchandise. There are aisles were there were none, some even turned sideways. My weekly (alright, tri-weekly) visit to the bulls eye mecca lasted three times as long and I left with less stuff that I didn't need, so how is this a better business plan? Is it a permanent rearrangement? I do not have room in my brain to commit the new layout to memory, what with all the mall directories stashed away in there.



Furthermore, there is no rhyme nor reason to the new layout. The dangerous cleaning supplies are right next to the baby stuff. The pet supply is moved to prime real estate near the front of the store. I couldn't even find the shoe department!



The new Target offends me and I will be boycotting the Walnut Creek store until they have a better plan.

Don't you have enough faith in the color-coordination capital of the world to suppose that just maybe they know what's best for you and you don't? Just go with it...you may find that it's just what you never knew you needed, just like all things Target. Now rest peacefully tonight while I sing you a lullaby: "Hello, Goodbuy, Hello, Goodbuy...I don't know why you say Hello, I say Goodbuy..."

Do you have a new boyfriend named Spencer? I thought you were going with the Latin Lover next. Maybe you and Mom could talk about store changes. She still isn't over Lucky Market shutting down.

I'm just glad the cart-trolley is back in order, that was a rough couple of weeks while that was down, I tell ya.

You'll be back, I know you'll be back. Come into the (red) light...peace and serenity in the light...

It's just not good to offend the loyal fan base. Target in San Ramon remains unchanged. I was always getting lost in WC anyway. Mi mi is cute. Cute cute cute.

I am not good with change. I continue visiting old grocery stores I hate, because I never want to try out the new grocery stores where I don't know exactly where the Kashi is. I totally get you.
