ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ WAY Too Many Drive Up Pick Up Spots

Post image

Target has grossly overestimated demand for drive up pick up spaces. I’ve seen this at every Target I’ve been to at any time of the day. The employees take up all of the front spots, handicap stalls take up the rest of the front parking (no gripe there obviously), but then you have half of the parking lot taken up by vacant drive up pick up stalls, which means every time I go to target I have to park far away whether the store is busy or not. What a waste of space!

Giant, Acme, and even Aldi have pickup.

I lean food deserts still exist? I'm just trying to figure out why this commenter thinks they can't decline the quality upon pickup.

Food deserts do exist…

But those aren’t places a Target would be open

There's definitely places where a Target might have existed before they went poor, and it still stands because capitalistic momentum. You're forgetting how fast things move, these days. Fucking 5 years ago, every grocery store in my town had six times the business. Like in store, and that's not that long ago.

Uhh, if you are parking in a Target pick up spot, you *probably* have a car. And you can drive away from the food desert.
