Yes, I tend to consider it’s more on the “insidious” path when it comes to you not finding your beloved PERT (plus or other), because the more time you’re in THEIR place, the less time you’re able to spend in another. Course, this could backfire. Frustrated, you leave.

It’s always good to cultivate friendships with women who have worked in or are working in retail. They generally have a good ability to zero in on the product placement rules a store mgmt. has going. ( Maybe, it’s a re-direction of the ancient hunter/gatherer division of responsibilities )

My single largest complaint about Target: why bother to have 1,293 checkout aisles (I counted them) if you’re only going to open 3 of them? Seriously.

Actually, they intend for you to spend several minutes trying to locate that type of thing, as it forces you to look at the other products. You wouldn’t beleive the research and money that goes into figuring out how to arrange retail shelves for maximum profit! They’ve done the homework - but there goal is different from yours.

Well, perhaps you can’t find what you’re looking for because Target likes it that way. Retail stores are known to move things around all of the time so that you get enthralled with something you DON’T need while you are looking for what you do need.

Haha. I always have trouble figuring out which department a specific item is located. It doesn’t help that my local Target has changed it’s layout radically from what I knew as a kid.
