Are they as evil? I never noticed that they had rock bottom prices on anything. I mostly just shop there because they have a lot under one roof.
Also, what about Home Depot? Lots of Mom and Pop hardware stores have gone belly up because of the Despot.

I don't know anything about Target.
Yes, Home Depot (and Lowes) have decimated the hardware stores. This is as much the fault of the consumer as it is the giants. OK, for major renovation projects I'll buy the giants make it easier, but if you want 1/2 lf of ten penny nails, why fight traffic, killer parking lots and crowds, to get them them. Half the crowds you're fighting, are there to pick up some little thing but wander around the whole store aimlessly like it's a cultural experience.
