This has been going on , in various ways , at retail for a long time.. i remember shopping at Target in Houston TX when i lived there circa 14 or 15 yrs ago.. i noticed that it seemed particularly stuffy and humid one time, so when i got to the register to check out i asked the cashier if their AC was broken (?) She said no, that the air conditioning system for each store was controlled from the Target headquarters in … Minnesota…. Im sure they totally have their finger on the pulse of Texas heat & humidity in Minneapolis …How much do you wanna bet their MN stores weren’t freezing in the winter ??
Honestly , it prompted me to shop much less at Target becuase i thought it was a boneheaded , chintzy way to run a store/company .
