First, article doesn't pay off the clickbait headline...

But second, my local Target store is a prime example of this. Almost every time I walk into that store to shop I find that they no longer carry something that they've carried for years. I have a list of dozens of items that have gone missing.

Most recently it was canned cat food. Used to have a couple of dozen flavors, now about eight. (My cat loves variety.)

And every time they do this, I'm forced to now buy that item from someplace else.

And on conference calls, Target management continually complains about declining sales.

Who would have thought?
