Target CEO says shoppers are pulling back, even on groceries
Target is doubling down on its cautious outlook as it prepares for the holiday shopping season.
Target CEO Brian Cornell says shoppers are pulling back, even on groceries, as they feel stressed about their budgets.
In an interview with CNBC’s Becky Quick that aired Thursday morning, he emphasized that the retailer has posted seven consecutive quarters of declining sales of discretionary items, such as apparel and toys, in terms of both dollars and units.
“But even in food and beverage categories, over the last few quarters, the units, the number of items they’re buying, has been declining,” he said in the interview.

Maybe if they'd stop replacing all the name brand stuff with Target knockoffs that aren't as good, I'd actually do more shopping there. And you know, maybe if they didn't make everything a crummy, awkward, self checkout...
I'm spending plenty of money, just most of it is not going towards Target.
Somehow their checkout line has got the worst parts of Walmart and a Supermarket in one and I can't figure out exactly how they did that.
I can't imagine trying to check out an entire cart of groceries at a fucking target.
