Hey alright, if i get by.....

Although my Target loving wife insists they are different, I see Walmart and Target as one and the same. They're pretty interchangeable to me.

i somewhat agree, though i dont hate Target, i only really shop there when i get the occasional generic gift card for Christmas.
 
  i take pride in where i spend my money, which is why i dont have any!

Yeah, almost. But if my understanding is correct, Wal-Mart excels in what they do so wrong.

Walmart loses the perception game.  That's what they excel at.  Otherwise, they're about the same.

That sounds like 90% of the 35-54 year old men I see going into office buildings in Rosslyn every day.

Campers, Doc Martens, Kenneth Cole loafers and oxfords. A couple of tastefully funkier shirts from French Connection. Brooks running shoes only when running and hking boots only when hiking. Black leather and brown suede jackets (bad vegetarian, bad). A puffy coat when it's cold.

Everyone thinks having a tailor is bourgeoisie but there's nothing better than having clothes that you "designed" from the feet up, and they fit you perfectly. And there are plenty of reasonable tailors (usually Asian) who do a great job and can bring it in at a price less than retail Banana, JOB or BB.
 
 I get a lot of praise for my suits, and none of them cost more than $500, and most of them were around $300. And you can designate exactly what kind of collars, sleeves, pleats, colors, etc. you want.

Why not sew them yourself?

Oui! Oui! I've been known to mingle amongst those racks myself.
 
 I have never set foot in a Wal-Mart and plan to keep it that way. [/b]

I only go to Wally World occasionally.  They have the liter sized hand sanitizer that Target lacks.  But there are two distinct classes of people at both stores.  The Mal-Wart peeps tend to be lower class.  Women with those Xmas themed sweatshirts and men wearing hunting camo.  Target people are more upwardly mobile.  Particularly the women.  You see a lot more broads shopping at Target.  And they are a higher class of cuties than the the more trashy walmart chicks.
 
 Yeah...target women are my type.  That, and Devo did some Target commercials.  The target nearest to me has a Starbucks inside.  Has anyone ever seen a Starbucks at walmart?  That is about as rare as finding a Confederate flag sticker on the back of a Volvo.  Those starbucks women are my type too.  It's too bad I'm married.
 
 Funny thing...when I first left for Europe in 1989 there were no WalMarts in this area.  When I returned in '93 they had sprouted all over like weeds.  The good thing about my sojourn to Europe was that I missed the first Bush presidency entirely.

You claim that you don't want to look like the "typical American" yet the wardrobe you describe couldn't be any more typical for an American of your age, gender, and socio-economic category.
 
 So, yes, you get a badge.  In keeping with your tastes, it will be the same badge every other 40-ish caucasian bureaucrat wears.

So are you saying that the typical suburban Washingtonian looks like the typical American? Because when I get anywhere more than a handful of miles beyond the Beltway, I don't see the resemblance.
