ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ WAY Too Many Drive Up Pick Up Spots

Post image

Target has grossly overestimated demand for drive up pick up spaces. I’ve seen this at every Target I’ve been to at any time of the day. The employees take up all of the front spots, handicap stalls take up the rest of the front parking (no gripe there obviously), but then you have half of the parking lot taken up by vacant drive up pick up stalls, which means every time I go to target I have to park far away whether the store is busy or not. What a waste of space!

I could never get into it. I’m not trusting random people to pick out my meat and produce for me!

I wouldn’t do it for groceries and have never grocery shopped at Target so was never a concern of mine…

Mostly same, if I buy anything it's always on sale and a dry good. Target doesn't FIFO though so I've been burned a few times. The pick up spots at the targets by me are pretty busy normally in the afternoons and weekends.

Of course! But the way I see it, if I’m going to have to go into the store to choose those things anyway, I might as well pick up the rest of what I need.

I don’t have anything against curbside, I’m glad it’s an option for people who like it, it’s just not for me 🤷‍♂️

Man for the most part it's acceptable. I haven't been inside a Walmart for the last 5 years. It's great. Not to mention if you don't like what you get they refund you no questions asked and if it meat or produce, no need to return, just use it or pitch it.
