I swung by a "mini" Target the other day and was reminded just how dumb modern grocery stores / the whole "consumer choice" thing is. The entire store is like 1/5th the size of the regular grocery store down the street, and it has probably 95% of the things that 95% of people need for a grocery store, plus all sort of other stuff like furniture, electronics, medical supplies, clothing, etc etc.

Having 70 different brands and 27 different flavors of cheese based snack crackers is so fucking unnecessary, actually makes shopping more of a pain in the ass, and is unironically a significant contributor to the climate crisis, economic crises, etc etc.
