See above. The ones around me (Watertown, Somerville MA, City Target) are the older/smaller variety and often I can get better prices online or find what I need at TJX (Marshalls/TJMaxx) if it is a household item. They even have a micro sized store close by too, but that's catered towards BU students and grocery items. That said, their ClearRX system was nifty and it's a shame CVS hasn't adopted it or at the least continued using it at TGT locations. They do now own the intelectual property rights so they may do something with it in the future.
On the other hand, in Minnesota most Target stores are far better than comparable Walmart stores, IMO. A couple Target Express, no CityTarget, lots of SuperTarget and smaller-format Target (but that still have fresh grocery). Almost all of our former "Greatland" locations were either expanded to SuperTarget, remodeled to smaller-format, or closed in favor of other nearby Target/SuperTarget locations. It's weird to still see the old Greatland format out in the wild, like in Woburn.

I like them too but it seems every few flights, someone has a "severe peanut allergy". I must be getting close to 3 dozen flights now where there have been no peanuts and the rate seems to be increasing. No meal service on last nights MSP-LAS flight and I was really looking forward to them. SOL
