Target CEO Brian Cornell says shoppers are pulling back, even on groceries, as they feel stressed about their budgets.

In an interview with CNBC’s Becky Quick that aired Thursday morning, he emphasized that the retailer has posted seven consecutive quarters of declining sales of discretionary items, such as apparel and toys, in terms of both dollars and units.

“But even in food and beverage categories, over the last few quarters, the units, the number of items they’re buying, has been declining,” he said in the interview.

    It’s “set foot” goddammit, not “step foot.” I fucking hate that. Never do it again.

      I set my foot by stepping, so it is literally ‘step foot’ any way you look at it and I will absolutely continue to use the phrase appropriately.

      Thanks for inspiring my increased usage of the term.
