Talking about Target...

I like Target stores. I like their cheerful designs, I like their neat store with everything in its place, I like their discounts. And the corporation seems almost ethical compared to Walmart (see the previous recycling post). Almost.

Remember the recent mess with the Bausch and Lomb contact lens solution? The types that were called MoistureLoc were suspected to have a link to severe eye infections, in some cases leading to blindness. Some stores voluntarily pulled out the solution from their shelves, and eventually Bausch and Lomb recommended the same thing. Please take it off your shelves, they said to stores, until we find out what's going on.

I happened to be in Target that day, and passed the eye care aisle. I saw the Moistureloc solution on sale. Not only had they not taken it off their shelves, but they had put it on sale at half price! It might cause blindness, but who can pass up a good deal! Especially if they hadn't read the news recently.

These are the little ways for a corporation to show that they care - not about saving our behinds, but about saving their bottom lines.
