Target is ending its popular senior store hours for Covid-19–we are so surprised!

The big box chain announced that not only will it be scaling back it special hours for senior citizens, pregnant women and other people defined by the CDC as “vulnerable”–but it will also be extending its store hours for holiday shopping.

If you recall, the special shopping hours were established at the start of the novel coronavirus outbreak so that those who were most vulnerable to the virus could shop safely. The hour will now exist only once a week, instead of every day. It's a real shame!
