re: The Target App Price Switch

I figured out about 6 years ago, when we had our first child and baby registry at Target, nearly everything in the store can be purchased at a lower price on the Target website than in stores. Target actually makes shopping more expensive to go to the store!

It was a glaring issue to me then and one of many, many terrible Target management decisions that make them a terrible shopping experience.

I'm surprised this fact has remained unknown this long, but I guess it has been overshadowed by their other more public blunders. e.g. ignoring huge IT shortfalls despite internal and board warnings, poorly planned Canadian expansion, $100 million data breach, understaffed stores, selling an elitist shopping experience when they really sell the same quality stuff as Walmart. The bathroom thing was just the cherry on top, unnecessary political posturing after a series of other really dumb business decisions.
