This is too easy: "Attention Target shoppers, there is an escaped baboon on the pet aisle"

Ok with that out of my system 

This is just a stupid PR stunt. She's not exactly 'bargain shopping' considering all the money that goes into the secret service agents that had to be there to protect her. That cost a hell of a lot of money when she could have just sent someone to go shopping for the treats and toys for the dog like normal who would not have required Secret service.

Garbage shopping like any third world country and to make the people prepared for it. Goods from china are really so cheap, competitive and lucrative .

I always thought of a shopping experience in a third world country being characterized by open air markets with flies buzzing around the meat and pickpockets running around in the crowd.

Within every world, there is a first world, a second world and a third world. So it all depends which among them is prominent.

BTW, If the recession and economical degeneration continues, then such scenario of open air markets with flies buzzing around the meat and pickpockets running around in the crowd may be visible everywhere on earth.
