They already raised prices because of “supply chain issues” and then kept them high. They made it easy to not be loyal

My local target also stopped properly stocking its shelves during covid due to supply chain issues, which was understandable in 2020. Now it's 2025, and the last time I was there in January, they had still never fixed their stocking issues. Empty shelves have been normal over the last 5 years. Pre-2020, that never happened except with the seasonal stock, like holiday decorations.
