TARGET SHELVES EMPTY

I hadn't been in TARGET for a while and I was surprised at how little stock was on the shelves. My FLIP camcorder was in my pocket, so I grabbed some random shots and stuck them together in this video. The place looked like it was going out of business. The last time I was in TARGET there was lots of new merchandise on full shelves, and everything was clean and nicely arranged. Not any more.

@toddyfex

Yeah. I carry a pocket camcorder. It doesn't slow me down at all. Ya never know what might happen. A UFO might crash inside the grocery store. A cop might beat up a newborn infant for kicks. If crazy stuff happens near me, there WILL be video

Well we can rule out that it's NOT because of their "low" prices.

Nearly 3-years later, it's much, much worse.

And the food carnage has only begun.

The Targets here in the San Fernando Valley are full of people every time I go there to shop. I think it depends on the area and the income of the people who live around the Target stores. It not enough business around than sure they will closed. But, if there's many other companies, restaurants, variety of businesses than no way a Target is going to close. It's only because of the area, location and surrounding money flow. Alot of companies have closed a certain number to save their co's.

@hiimryanolan1337 The old dude with the glasses is Alan Greenspan, head of the Federal Reserve, presidential economic advisor, president of Council on Foreign Relations, THE main architect of our economy. His 1977 PhD dissertation predicted the burst of the housing bubble thirty years ahead of time.

Empty shelves are so romantic.

@jroyst208 -- Trucks don't carry full store inventories. And full stores sell goods, make profits. Full store empty shelves do not. What's worse is this store could be completely closing. The uploader hasn't said. When you can't stay open selling cheap Chinese, low quality, slave labor goods in a recession, you know the economy's really in trouble.

The other shoe is going to drop.

That's the same way my grocery store shelves looked in 2009 before I had to close and go out of business. I employed many.

People don't buy food anymore. They don't have any money. I didn't have any customers. For FOOD! And it's gotten worse since then with more grocery stores closing, and businesses of all kinds closing. People need to eat.

The other shoe is going to drop.
