We're all Target people here at NWsource you gotta love the Red-Dot Boutique! so when you named Wal-Mart the most embarrassing place to be spotted, it probably goes without saying that we weren't terribly surprised. We go to Wal-Mart only when we need cleaning supplies, honestly. And pet food. And the occasional lawnmower. Otherwise, we're solid on the Target thing.
