Target CEO Brian Cornell says shoppers are pulling back, even on groceries, as they feel stressed about their budgets.

In an interview with CNBC’s Becky Quick that aired Thursday morning, he emphasized that the retailer has posted seven consecutive quarters of declining sales of discretionary items, such as apparel and toys, in terms of both dollars and units.

“But even in food and beverage categories, over the last few quarters, the units, the number of items they’re buying, has been declining,” he said in the interview.

I stopped going when they replaced 90% of the cashiers with self-checkout and the lines tripled in size.

There were times where I spent more time in line than I did shopping there.

Unexpected item in bagging area. Please ask for assistance from the one employee overseeing all thirty six self checkout stations.

I've genuinely never had that experience at Target. I can scan everything in my cart without once putting it in the bagging area and the self-checkouts at Target don't give a shit.

Target is the only half decent self checkout I've used as well. Fred Meyer, Haggen, Safeway, every single other one I use does what the original commentor mentioned. But targets are ok on that bit.
