<i>I&#x27;m pretty sure the only thing Target figured out is to cater to a higher income demographic.</i><p>Whereas Walmart&#x27;s genius lay in not only continuing to cater to the lower income demographic... but to keep its valued customers addicted to junk food, junk clothing, junk music, junk kitchenware, and just plain... junk in general (peppered with vindictive, quite possibly career- and&#x2F;or life-ruining arrests for drinking a $0.98 iced tea before paying, now and then) so that they <i>stay</i> in the lower income demographic.
