        Yep, seems to be the case here for sure. Inside the store they have good distancing markers. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jun 24, 16:53
        
        Interesting. Though I do echo Callisto's comments as my Target seems to be taking the care to be doing things right. - JD Jun 24, 16:52 1
        
        HEB’s curbside isn’t profitable as it is now. I can’t imagine Target’s is. But I’ll keep holding reservations (and celebrations) until after I start. -- nm - Qale Jun 24, 16:58
