I feel bad. I really have no problem with those that shop at Wal-Mart or Bass Pro. It's just that Target is closer to me than Wal-Mart and I don't hunt or fish. Besides, Target gets the same clientelle.

Not in DFW. There's a clear distinction between the customers of Wal-Mart vs. Target vs. Whole Foods

Perhaps. I've noticed that people see what they want to see in the clientelle at any establishment. The folks that shop at Target in any area I've lived in are every bit as trashy OR hoity toity as any Wal-Mart.

Around here, your average WM customer is slightly more upscale than the average Target customer. Target seems to have really given up on our whole area, and the few stores they have are poorly maintained and in crap areas. Walmart, on the other hand, is constantly updating its stores, there are lots of them, and they are in nice, convenient spots. It's weird; before moving here, I was used to the exact opposite and never set foot in a Walmart. I've even written to Target, begging them to fix it because I feel like such a traitor ...

That's weird.
The Wal-Marts here (and I suspect nationally) are trying to "Target-ize" themselves, but they still end up looking more rundown and dirtier.
Most WMs are in "right off the highway/bus stop" locations, while Targets are closer to neighborhoods. The Whole Foods stores (with the exception of one) are located in ultra-affluent areas. When you walk inside the stores, the difference between the 3 is extremely obvious.

I really like Bass Pro Shop. It's like an outdoorsman's version of Walt Disney World!
