Probably because hitting on people outside of social settings is distasteful and potentially creepy. Nobody wants to be chatted up by strangers when they’re just trying to run errands.

Although with the state of both Target’s near me, there’s often stuff out of stock.

• peroxide – come on. The last time Target didn’t have peroxide or rubbing alcohol was during the pandemic lockdown. What their excuse NOW?

• Hershey’s Almond Nuggets – OK. They’re popular. So if there’s only 1 bag left, you should maybe order more.

• t-shirts in my size – the men’s accessory clothing section was a disaster. I don’t know when the last time a sales associate tidied up, but there were underwear sizes all mixed up from different brands (Fruit of the Loom, Hanes, etc.) and quality. I had to buy what I wanted on-line.

It’s gotten so that I don’t trust either of my Target’s to have stuff I buy there on a regular basis.

Not trying to put a target on my back

Interesting. I should try this.

Target always feels uncomfortably hot. Like, all of them. I don’t know why.

Man, it’s just, it dang ol’ complicated, you know, man, like a dang ol’ Rubik’s cube, man. Talkin’ like blue, red, man then you get the one side and then like messed, messed up the other side, man.

Would any ladies reading be willing to reveal any place they go before or after target that they’d be more inclined to chat with a stranger? I doubt Target is the place to socialize, but maybe you grab food or stop at a park to break up your errand run?
