They mean a physical Target store, not a phone app. Target can track customers walking in and out the door and what they buy, how long they stay, etc. but they can’t track anything about you if you just go to a different store, especially something like a small business which isn’t hooked into the ad data sponge.

Also if the CEO of target decides he really doesn’t like a popular shirt and is able to force everyone to only shop at target, then he can come a lot closer to snuffing out the existence of that shirt.
