Big Corporations Suck. Thanks Obama.

So, I live in a small town in Central Ontario, Canada, of around 20,000 people. We do NOT have a Wal-Mart. The closest Wal-Mart to us is a good 45min to an hours drive away, in the next town over. What we DO have (or rather DID have) is a Target.

 

 

But guess what. Corporates at Target are closing down all of their Target locations, all across Canada. Not only does this put over 17,000 out of a job, but it leaves some towns (like ours) with no place to shop for necessities.They're liquidating all of their stock. What irks me is that in my town, Target was the only big name store to shop at. We had a Canadian owned retailer in there before called "Zellers" which was bought out by the Target corporation of the US, so they could expand their stores into Canada. So Target is screwing small towns like us over for shopping.

 

 

So, as is, we have no place to shop for stuff like clothing or other household goods. We have another Canadian store in town called "Giant Tiger" but it's no where near the stature of a Wal-mart or Target...it's not even a K'Mart type store..It gets overstock/unsold clothing and other stuff from other stores and sells it at a discount, includes all their stuff minus the food, which they get from a regular supplier.

 

So, yea. thanks Obama, and thank you Target for screwing over small towns everywhere.

How exactly is Target closing all its stores in Canada Obama's fault?

I thought that was just a joke. :P

I've been steadily losing respect for Target ever since their Australian branch balked sales of GTA 5 in the face of classic SJW bully tactics.

 

...Not that that stops me from shopping there, of course. The fact that it's the only place in town worth shopping at trumps any reservations I have about being a hypocrite, so nyeh. X)

That sounds like Target's decisions.

 

Well, yea.It jsut sucks for anywhere,like us, where Target was the only "real" place to shop. Despite it's higher prices vs Wal-Mart. Most people around here can't afford to pay Target's prices. Which is why everyone prefers shopping at Wal-Mart, if they can, because it's cheaper for the same products.

Obama bit was meant as a joke. :P

 

Oh, okay! I knew of the phrase, but I wasn't entirely certain if you were truly serious. You know how people can be with their politics and world leaders! :P

Yea, only thing I ever bought at our Target was Pony merch.Despite it's selection of ALL Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash. That never sold. But as soon as they got Fluttershy or AJ inin?It'd be gone within the week. So I bought any Fluttershy merch they had whenever I went there.
