But for some reason, it is extremely popular among pretentious undergrad and grad students to "take a stand" against Wal-Mart for those exact reasons, and then proclaim that "Target is great," therefore basically leaving the vague impression that Target must be different but never explicitly saying that it is. The result of this ends up being slightly akin to that of the Wal-Mart brainwashing videos, in that I've started to decide that Target is magically better somehow. Well, I'm sure they are better than Wal-Mart but that's just not that hard to do.
