I've
been
shopping
here,
from
a
distance,
since
I
don't
like
to
go
into
the
store.
I've
been
using
Shipt.
Anyway,
we
don't
really
consider
the
value
of
good
phone
customer
service,
but
this
store
really
goes
the
distance.
I
was
having
trouble
releasing
the
pump
on
some
liquid
soap
and
the
clerk
went
to
the
shelf
and
gave
me
instructions,
over
the
phone.
I
can't
imagine
Wal-Mart
providing
that
service.
WM
hangs
up
on
me.
They
are
so
rude,
over
the
phone.
Shipt
is
owned
by
Target.
First,
they
gave
me
a
2
week
trial,
and
now,
with
my
Visa
card,
they
are
giving
me
a
free
month.
After
that,
I
have
the
option
of
continuing
my
subscription
at
50%
off,
for
another
month
or
so,
or
cancelling.
I'll
probably
cancel.
I
try
to
be
the
best
cheapskate
I
can
be.
The
app
isn't
like
Instacart,
where
there
are
service
fees
or
inflated
prices.
You
pay
the
same
price
as
if
you
showed
up,
in
person.
Tipping
is
optional.
My
Target
Circle
membership
gave
me
3
free
months
of
Apple
TV.
They
are
called
Target
partners
and
the
deal
expires
on
February
3rd,
2024.
Target
has
a
great
reputation,
in
town,
but
I
think
it
is
exaggerated,
partly
because
for
the
poor,
when
the
only
other
reasonable
option
is
WM,
they
feel
a
sense
of
relief,
when
they
compare
the
two.
Is
Target
truly
wonderful
or
is
it
just
better
than
WM,
because
WM
is
terrible,
almost
to
a
cartoonish
level?
Well,
if
you
are
looking
for
halos,
among
the
managers,
you
will
come
away
frustrated.
Target
is
anti-union,
and
that
means
if
employees
try
to
organize
or
even
discuss
one
during
work
hours
or
on
their
breaks,
managers
are
meant
to
intimidate
them.
And
if
a
manager
doesn't
want
to
do
that,
he
has
to
at
least
look
the
other
way.
And
I'm
sure
the
supervisors,
who
they
call
trainers
are
faced
with
similar
moral
dilemmas.
Target
has
also
been
sued
and
fined
for
hiring
discrimination.
I
don't
mean
that
a
few
oddball
managers
went
their
own
way.
They
found
their
computer
programs
were
set
to
discriminate.
Look
it
up.
The
articles
are
still
on
the
net,
even
though
it
has
been
a
few
years.
This
happened
not
once,
but
twice
and
we
are
talking
millions
of
dollars.
So,
a
certain
moral
maneuverability
and
being
willing
to
lie,
in
the
right
circumstances
is
necessary
for
promotion,
here.
I've
gone
in,
in
the
past,
and
found
very
few
black
workers,
and
the
only
way
to
counteract
that
tendency
was
to
describe
the
extent
of
the
hiring
discrimination,
in
detail.
And
I
knew
the
moment
I
took
it
down,
that
the
company
would
resume
discriminating
against
them,
again.
They
hired
and
promoted
a
few
hispanics,
but
mostly
women.
They
want
to
check
all
the
right
boxes,
to
avoid
investigation
by
the
EEOC.
So,
women
are
usually
easier
to
keep
happy,
without
promoting
them.
Not
always,
but
a
lot
of
times,
they
don't
complain
as
aggressively.
They
know
that
if
they
hire
them
and
don't
actively
intimidate
them,
that
they
will
do
a
better
job
than
the
white
workers,
get
promoted
and
become
competition
for
the
manager.
And
he
wants
to
keep
his
job.
And
the
district
managers
know
their
jobs
are
at
stake
as
well.
They
have
a
term
for
it.
It's
called
white
power.
But,
maybe
you
will
go
in
and
they
will
have
responded
to
this
review
and
have
made
changes
so
everything
I've
written
appears
to
be
inaccurate.
They
are
pretty
crafty,
that
way.
But,
if
the
manager
comes
out
of
nowhere
and
tries
to
ban
me
from
this
store,
is
he
trying
to
shut
me
up,
from
criticizing
him
on
social
media
or
does
he
feel
I
pose
a
danger
to
the
store?
If
he
isn't
trying
to
shut
me
up,
then
he
won't
mind
me
sharing
some
critical
information
about
the
store,
with
the
public.
He's
a
large
man
and
pretty
intimidating.
Maybe,
no
one
will
ask
him
any
questions
and
expect
real
answers,
anyway.
No
one
who
wants
to
keep
their
job.
