âI donât like Wal-Mart,â said Nadirah Moreland, 39, in the shoe aisle of the Columbia Heights Target. She says Target is âkinder, gentler. âIâve been to a Target once,â said Vanessa Cruz, 29, while perusing childrenâs clothes at a Wal-Mart in Fairfax. âTarget has beautiful stuff, but I donât go there. The prices are different. Wal-Mart is cheaper, and they have everything.â Each has its loyalists â and no wonder. The stores market vastly different versions of American exceptionalism: Wal-Mart champions efficiency, thrift. Target offers style, aspiration. Wal-Mart gives us low prices on everything we need; Target tells us what we want. Yet the companies have much in common. âThe remarkable thing,â said Charles Fishman, author of âThe Wal-Mart Effect,â âis that 80 percent of the stuff in Target and Wal-Mart is identical.â The prices are often identical, too.
