Corporate vs. local

Submitted by Linsey Knerl on March 27, 2008 - 12:27.

My only personal exposure has been on the local store level.  Walmart employees are usually disgruntled and overworked, which results in below-par service and me feeling like I have inconvenienced them by ever shopping there.  Target employees rumble on message boards from time to time, but when I shop my local Target store in person, I'm treated like an A-class citizen.  Since I shop places that treat me right, Target will win out every time.  I don't get hassled over coupons, my kids are treated as the blessing that they are, and I never, ever have to take them to a filthy potty... ever.
