No pun intended.. these bags are trash. Every few weeks there’s something new that’s wrong with the whole roll. Each roll we open it’s exciting to see what new fresh hell we’ll get for the week! Last week we had a roll that just did not include a draw string… so fun. EVERY SINGLE bag was missing the draw string. ZERO quality control. I can not believe we pay actual money for these things.

"Basic Target Millennial" here, I've been to all of them in the area and my Target power rankings are:

  1. Marlborough West - conveniently off 290 and near the mall, rarely crowded, well-stocked.
  2. Westborough - Route 9 is a pain but if you know shortcuts it's not bad to drive to. Also well-stocked, but the customers are downright aggressively entitled.
  3. Marlborough East - Lower in the rankings only because it's a supreme pain to get to unless you're already in that part of Marlborough (it's across town from where 290/495 lets you out, so you're driving 10-15 minutes off the highway). But it's a "newer" Target and a very pleasant shopping experience.
  4. Millbury - The rest of the stores in this shopping center boost Millbury's rankings higher, but it's really just two Worcester Targets in a trenchcoat. It's either well stocked or looted, no in-between, and like others have said do NOT buy fresh food there. It also hasn't had the Target Remodel yet so the layout is cramped.
  5. Leominster - This would be higher if you didn't have to take 190 to get here, but a 10/10 shopping experience. Quick curbside pickup, well-stocked, and a very large store.

I'm not as well-versed in Walmart shopping, but I always go to Leicester or Westborough, whichever I'm closest to when I need to go there. The Hudson Walmart is, and always has been, terrible. West Boylston is a throwaway Walmart in that it's fine but I don't know anyone who goes there as a first choice.

RIGHT!? Some places giving you a whole, non-pounded out chicken breast. WTF is that?

IDK, growing up in Brooklyn and having worked for one of the most famous BK pizzerias in the 90s taught me things... Mostly that I wouldn't find good Italian American as easily as I did in Brooklyn lol

Oh, you mean the bags that rip with even the slightest weight in them, forcing you to buy even more bags than you initially needed? No no they’re great 🙄

I bought a pack somewhat recently where every single one inside was pre-ripped and unusable.
