It definitely cost them my business at least twice when I forgot my wallet and remembered they don't take NFC so I went across the street to target.

    Why don't you just go to Target first? You can get all your crap ahead of time and just pickup the order. Their prices are super low to compete with Walmart and they price match. Right now it's basically Walmart with better customers.

    The main* reason why people go to Target is because they're willing to spend a bit more to not have to shop at Walmart. Not everyone can afford that luxury.
