Target has been open in WA, at least my nearest store has. However, even before COVID-19, that Target (just open a couple of years) would only have a dozen or so customers every time I visited.

I found it really frustrating to shop there because the products I was interested in were always lacking what to me were essential features. I am large sized and buy the Mr Big range. When it came to casual cargo shorts in that range, for the last 3 or 4 years (in other stores I visited as well), not one pair of cargo shorts on offer had belt loops. Just those pull string types. I can understand a certain percentage not having belt loops, but every pair on offer in the Mr. Big range were that way. I always buy my casual shirts from the Mr Big range too and from about 3 months ago, none of the shirts have a breast pocket.

To me these are just stupid decisions by whoever is their purchaser and is probably penny pinching where they shouldn't. I would guess that almost nobody would not buy a casual shirt because it has a breast pocket, but lots would not buy one without it. I would think the same with casual shorts. Even those who never wear belts would probably not be deterred if the shorts had belt loops in addition to pull strings (for those who prefer the latter), but people who prefer belts are not going to buy the shorts if it doesn't have belt loops.
