Yup. Lack of employees and the “broken window effect”. People see unmaintained areas and it just snowballs from there. This aisle probably had a few slobs leave boxes open and later customers figured no one cared and they got lazy too.

As wages and the number of employees per store has decreased (not just target but everywhere), the more of this kind of shit I see.
When there’s only two people running a whole store while making 10 bucks an hour this is the quality you get. Your next quarter earnings might be great but your entire chain of businesses will go fucking bankrupt when everyone starts avoiding your locations.
I’m seeing this with retail and fast food places. Man I used to love Boston Market but I don’t step foot in there now. Same with Dunkin Donuts, total shithole, every one of em.

Everything is a K-Mart these days.

Yeah, don’t expect me to pay Target prices if I’m getting the Wal-Mart experience.

Almost like moderate gains and taking care of employees takes care of the business. I’m baffled at how many CEOs force bad decisions in terms of immediate profits.

Because cutting costs is a very quick way of showing you are improving the bottom line in the short term and you get a bigger bonus that quarter. Improving sales is harder to identify (was it the products? advertising? a mystery trend?) and take longer to appear on their charts. You’ll likely jump ship for the next job before the damage from your cuts shows up anyway.
