I've always shopped at Target over Walmart just because Target always seemed like a cleaner store and has a little bit better stuff in most cases.
I think I'll continue shopping at Target when ever I need something from a Dept store, because at least they pay their employees, give them benefits and so on. I'll pay a little more to shop at Target just for that reason.

I really don't mean to be defending Wal Mart or anything, but there is a huge difference between an entry level employee making minimum wage and someone who worked twenty years at Target.
And if you think about it, $17 an hour ain't jack - what's that, $40k a year?
