Dam well when the feel like making money again they can stop implying they want all their non white and straight customers to be erased.
Haven’t been in a target since they bent the knee, and won’t till they fully reinstate Diversity Equity and Inclusion policies.
Target flip flopped in the stupidest way possible. It’s like their top guys don’t read any reports or that they already removed their diversity and thus anyone that could tell them who exactly shops their before they announced this. lmao 😂 and they can’t backtrack it!
We used to spend a good amount of money at Target and now we won’t go anywhere near it. It was great for gift shopping and seasonal stuff but we’ve figured out better options with retailers that don’t have gross values.
So where did you shift your buying to? Hopefully not Walmart or Amazon, who are far worse. Small businesses are not available options in most of America.
Or maybe they’re afraid of looting…
Target to close all 1,978 stores for 24 hours as it joins retail ‘blackout’
Oh no! Anyways…
As a MN native… fuck Target! I tried until they laid off a bunch of people I know who didn’t wanna work in the DEAD downtown MPLS scene when given the new “rule” … savage!
Same here. It sucks since Target was/is better than Wal Mart and the Daytons legacy still had them doing a lot of philanthropic donations. But yeah I haven’t shopped at Target in probably 4-5 months now.
thier prices have always been more expensive and close to walgreens prices, they pride themselves as the bougie walmart version. they have also gotten rid of thier own in-brand items, in favor of cheapflationed items.
I’ve never understood the appeal of Target. There’s a huge Target 60 seconds down the street from me and I never shop there except to get one or two items. It’s expensive, has a ridiculously small grocery section while clothing takes up half the store, and they’re so worried about shoplifters that they have multiple security staff standing at the door giving everyone leaving the stink eye.
Thoughts and prayers.
I believe the American custom observed here is to shoot a firearm toward school children in celebration of the stock market crash? Idk- wouldn’t want a social faux pax!
I called to specifically inform them that I was a decently regular shopper, as someone who avoids many “mega-corps”, and that in the wake of their anti-DEI move, I would never buy anything from them ever again.
Granted, I live in a city with many shops of various local varieties, and have other options. I’m aware the same chances aren’t available to everyone else.
Just goes to show how bending the knee to the bigot brigade doesn’t work. Are more of the fat orange traitorous fuck’s cult shopping there?
No.
Target did exactly what they wanted- first by hiding their Pride merch last June, and then by eliminating their diversity programs- and the only result is the people who didn’t shop at Target still aren’t, but the people who did shop there are taking their business elsewhere.
Soon Target’s going to have to either try to reverse course to save face with their former clientele, or they’re gonna have to double down in an effort to attract more MAGAts to their rotting corporate corpse. And as InBev learned with Dylan Mulvaney, that’s not a decision you want to fuck up.
they should learn the lesson from appeasing hitler with sudetlands.
Don’t choose politics when marketing your store. They eliminated some shoppers with the DEI stuff then they eliminated even more but removing DEI.
Maybe elected officials that keep defending this moron out of some kind of false sense of protection can take hint?
Yes im pissed at Target but if alll the extra sales are going to Walmart, that’s worse.
Costco has increased foot traffic for 13 consecutive weeks, so not a bad guess people are going there.
I’m two hours from a Costco here in TN. I had a membership when I lived in Philly and loved it.
Looks like its down slightly too.
Nope both are being protested against.
Yeah this is a terribley stupid plan. Give Walmart a monopoly an objectively worse company
target was suppose to be where walmart refuse to build, basically it was a “bougie verison” of walmart.
Is the goal general harm, or directed harm that may have a positive result? If Target changes course and takes a moral stand (even if that decision isn’t made for all the right reasons), that’s worth more than hurting Target and Walmart equally.
I get that. And I hope that Target changes before it’s too late and you are correct.
Love to see it. 💕
I went to Target during my errands just to use their bathroom, and was shocked at how empty it was. I was reminded of KMart when they started to die.
in certain areas, almost everything is locked up. this actually made less likely to purchase items.
That’s my area. It’s so frustrating and annoying. I refuse to wait for help, I’ll just get it somewhere else.
