Is Target a bad company?
I hope not, because it's my favorite place to buy groceries in town now. I miss the small grocery stores.

1. Their chief owner is Democratic Senator Mark Dayton. I'll bet they're OK.

9. Nope, Dayton no longer has any ownership of Target Co.
It was his family that owned Dayton Hudson, but he's no longer involved.

AFAIK Target is pretty good as huge corporations go. They donate a percentage of their profits to local charities and they treat their employees decently, in general. However a friend of mine in their IT dept was screwed by them.

I have also been to a few walmart protest in town. If you can, go to CostCo. They are good to the employees.

6. I just joined CostCo.........
my only beef is that I have to buy a pallet of anything to save. I'm single, so it takes quite some time to use the bulk products I have to buy. Other than that, I find CostCo a great alternative to other stores.

7. Well, I hope they are not a bad company.
There is one within a mile of my house and I shop there every week. They have the best prices on groceries.
