Target and Starbucks Smell Bad Together

Have you been in a Target store lately? Specifically, I'm talking about the newer ones that have a Starbucks near the front entrance. The stores near me in Stow, Macedonia and Streetsboro all have them.

The odor that hits you when you walk in the door is awful. It smells like a combination of the usually-good Starbucks aroma with some other indefinable Target-related ingredient. I used to think it was adhesive, paint or something else related to the store construction, but now I'm not so sure. Whatever it is, they need to fix it. A bad smell upon entering a store is not good for business.
