'm a huge Target fan now;

You must live somewhere in North Central US<G> Anyhow, Target has been executing on all cylinders lately as the phrase goes.

got
frustrated at more expensive places, which seem to be harder hit by the tight labor market for whatever reason

My guess is a traning problem rather than thr tight labor market. Most people expect better sales staff, more knowledge when they pay top dollar at a place like Bloomingdales. They should get that service too. Bloomingdales willnot pay enough for the training.

Overall, I found myself wishing a LOT more stuff could be handled online. I visited a bunch of consumer e-commerce sites,
and even used some shopping bots for the first time, but was underwhelmed by everything I saw. AMZN is head and
shoulders above just about everyone.

The online buying concept is really only going tow rok well for commodity products which would include Office Depot, etc. Actually, Office Depot is superior to Amazon in my opnion but is limited to one basic product line. The employees at Amazon really have no cluse about their products. You must read about them. Specifically if you go to the electronic or tool department. The Amazon site is better than most if not all at this point but that is due to throwing so much money and options and good programmers. The technology will not make a retailer as you can see Office Depot does very well online.
