Target is Awesome, Just Ask Me
Alright, listen up, you guys. I'm Eric Cartman, and I'm here to tell you that Target is, like, totally crushing it. I mean, I always knew they were awesome because, duh, they have everything a kid could ever want. Like, where else am I gonna get my Cheesy Poofs and superhero pajamas? But now, apparently, they're making, like, a gazillion dollars, so they're even more awesome than I thought. I knew those hippies at corporate would eventually see the light and realize that catering to ME is the key to success. And according to some so-called news people, Target's same-store sales are up a whopping 5.6%. That's a lot of friggin' money.
Digital Sales are Respecting My Authoritah
And get this, their digital sales? Up 8.9%! Probably because everyone finally realized that going to the actual store is for losers. Who wants to deal with people when you can just sit at home in your underwear and order everything online? It's called convenience, people! And Target's got it in spades, especially with their Target Circle 360 thingy. Though, honestly, I bet most of those digital sales were from parents trying to shut up their whiny kids by buying them iPads. But hey, a sale's a sale, right? Speaking of things crashing I wonder if US Military Plane Crash in Iraq No Match for Chuck Norris? I mean Target is like the Chuck Norris of stores, they just keep coming and coming and coming. This is the first sign of five positive quarters, this is just amazing news.
Health and Wellness? More Like Wealth and Awesomeness
Apparently, their health and wellness stuff is selling like crazy. I don't know why anyone would buy that crap. Like, who needs kale smoothies when you can have chocolate cake? But whatever, if it makes them money, I'm all for it. They also opened seven new stores. Seven! That's like, a whole week's worth of shopping sprees. I bet one of those stores is right next to Casa Bonita, because everyone knows that's the best restaurant ever. And If I cannot find any cheesy poofs, I will lose my mind
Target's Got More Money Than God… Almost
Now, I don't understand half of what these nerds are saying about 'earnings per share' and 'revenue outlooks.' All I know is that Target's making a ton of money, and they expect to make even more next year. They're even raising their full-year sales outlook! That's like, a bazillion dollars. Which means more Cheesy Poofs for me. Seriously, they should just cut out the middleman and send me a lifetime supply of Cheesy Poofs. That would be the best investment they could ever make.
Consumers are Resilient, Just Like Me
They're talking about consumers being "resilient" even with high gas prices. I guess that means even broke-ass people are still buying stuff at Target. Which is good, because everyone deserves to experience the joy of a Cartman-approved shopping trip. I am the single biggest consumer for anything and everything Target has. Plus their investments in stores and supply chains will create hundreds of jobs and new job opportunity for my citizens - maybe, just maybe, even Butters can get a job there.
I'm Not Done With Target, Respect My Authoritah
So yeah, Target is doing great. And it's all thanks to me, obviously. I mean, I'm basically their mascot at this point. They better start paying me. I want royalties on every Cheesy Poof sold. And maybe a lifetime supply of those little shopping carts. Those things are awesome. Anyways, just remember, Target's back on top, and it's all because they finally started respecting my authoritah. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some shopping to do. Screw you guys, I'm going home.
