Target has less people and they don't play music there, which I appreciate. Our local Target is quieter than the local library. Nevertheless, I attempt to shop at local stores and I avoid both Walmart and Target as much as possible.

Maybe basically, but at least in my area there are far fewer instances of people wearing pajamas in Target and it's much closer to where I live. I don't think you can draw 100% equivalence between the two stores enough to support an assertion of an advertising-vulnerable demographic.

lol, out here in los angeles, they've been remodeling targets to look like walmarts - like using polished concrete floors and skinnier, cheaper looking checkout stands with flimsy conveyer belts. The most irritating thing was when they replaced the target cafe with.. nothing. Some stores have a starbucks, others have.. nothing.

Oh yeah, and Target pharmacy was sweet. CVS pharmacy inside target isn't as good.

That said, they are still somewhat faster and have way better hours. The walmart where I live is only open until 10pm and it has 10+ minute checkout lines. The target is open until midnight.

OTOH, online ordering: Walmart is often better than amazon. Target's online ordering sucks.
