I like Wal Mart because the prices are great and there's a much larger product selection than at Target... but I have 'sensory overload' issues whenever I go to the local 'Super Wal Mart'. The lighting is horrible, the glare hurts my eyes, the noise level drives me nuts and I feel totally drained / exhausted after going there. 8O

I shop at Target(They have a Super Target on one of my ways to work that has groceries and produce). I hate Wal-Mart.

I have to choose Wal-Mart simply because the only Target near me is about 45 miles down the road.

But I think Target stores are more exciting than Wal-Mart stores. One thing I have noticed about Target stores is that have more in-store employees than Wal-Mart, which is always nice.

Definitely Target! The clothes are cuter and unlike Wal-Mart, there aren't gang fights in the store (Both stores are less than a mile from each other). Plus our Target is part of a mall, so there's a lot more to do. Although that Wal-Mart does have the best-smelling Subway ever...

ASDA-WALMART [or is it WALMART-ASDA,as walmart bought asda out...or was it the otherway around?] only because there is not a Target here so dont know what they're like.
They have decent parking space,but they still have a lot of people who use the few disability spaces without a blue badge,and people leave their trolleys in car spaces because they're so lazy they cannot be bothered walking a little to put trolley back.
If that was sorted out,am know sister would like it very much,she says 'god,lazy b*******s' whenever am with her and she's trying to find a space with no trolley in.
Am like having the choice of an always open supermarket that sells a lot of different things,will be going to the trafford park walmart when have the car.

Target is way better. Better stuff for the same prices as at WalMart. And fewer other shoppers to deal with.

QFT

I go to Wal-Mart only when I know Target doesn't carry what I'm looking for. I get clothes at Target, they carry the large bottles of green tea I like, they have (as far as I know) the cheapest price on Rockstar Sugar-Free, and other than the occasional food item that Target (and the local grocery store) doesn't carry, there's not all that much that Target doesn't have. I've even gotten some computer stuff there, since their price on things like a USB hub was roughly the same as the ridiculously low-priced computer warehouse type place near me.

(if you live in Houston and you don't know about Directron.com, I suggest checking it out.)
