Cool although this doesn't really affect me. Target doesn't exist in Canada.
K-mart's still around? Huh I though they died since all the ones around BC went out of business a decade ago. |

The video is actually pretty darn good, and the dub (though they don't say much) is pretty much equivalent to what I imagine the Japanese original voice actors would have sounded like in English.
And it was done by the original Japanese production team, it looks like. Having worked at a Target, I'll say that while it's probably a nicer place to work than Wal-Mart, the stupid call buttons gave me nightmares after a while. "Guest assistance needed near video games. Who is responding?" "Guest assistance needed near video games, 2nd attempt, who is responding?" Ad infinitum. |

I work at the new Target in La Habra. In fact, just today we (well, it was just myself) were setting up the Halloween products and lo and behold, I see a 4 foot tall Domo plushie hanging from the ceiling, carry his own trick-or-treat bag and wearing a black eye-patch. It was pretty surreal.
According to someone that worked at the old Target store they had Domo products for sale last year. I know we had a few Domo note-books and other products for the back-to-school sale. And an abundance of Hello Kitty products, too
Just video games? There's a call button for each game system where I work at. I keep telling them you only need one, if any. We do have our own electronic check-out lane too, but I guess management thinks we're not busy enough. |

Yay! If I go in there with my Domo school bag, i'll really be in Target style.
lol. I'll be sure to shop at target more this Halloween. As for them not being around, they are building this crazy double decker Target about 15 miles from my house. The store is on top of the parking garage. That may not be new, but it is for me- at least with Target. As for KMart, we have those too. They built a huge one about 2 minutes from my house, and its....ok. I don't go there much though. |

Couldn't ask for a better Halloween mascot. Now he's not so much of a Japanese only type thing.

If the worst you had at Target was an ineffective paging system, then being a former employee of Wal-Mart I can assure you that working at Target is paradise compared to working at Wal-Mart. As for the person who seemed to think Target was dead, I guess that may depend on where you live. Not that I'm suggesting this person lives in a small town, but I've seen some small towns where the local Wal-Mart is quite literally the ONLY store around. Near me they just openeda Super Target, though it's not getting in half the business that the local Super Wal-Mart does. As for K-Mart, it's funny, my boyfriend seemed to think they were dead too, but there's one about a block away from my house and a Big K not too much farther. It was fun to prove him wrong when I managed to score several coupons for free bags of halloween candy from K-Mart. Totally hope to find those again this year. =) |

If you can define "better" as greed, discrimination, poor employee working conditions, child labor, and overall sloppiness, then sure why not... walmart is better. F^ck walmart and their retarded new logo that doesnt make any sense! |

I was at Target tonight and the sight of Domo-kun everywhere made me very happy.

Wow, some people might actually get my Domo-kun shirt now. I'm not sure if that is really a good thing or not. Regardless, I will probably be picking up some domo-kun stuff, mostly likely when it hits 50% post-holiday. It's a shame they don't have a costume, I would definitely buy that.
