They were so whiney about how trans people cost them money. How about now, assholes.
I haven't shopped at target in a while for unrelated reasons, but thanks for putting this on my radar that I should continue to avoid them.
Good glad to see some tangible numbers. I was a weekly Target shopper but haven't been since the economic blackout day. They were actually doing some cool things after 2020, selling a lot of products from Black-owned businesses. To see them do a 180 is a stark reminder.that they're just a business and $$$ is the name of the game. Gotta hit em all in the pocketbook, it's the only thing they listen to.
i got some fantastic gay pride merch from Target in 2022, the year they partnered with lgbtq creators and made some legitimately great clothing. then they received death threats and pulled them from stores.
Its easy being an ally during the good times. Being an ally only counts if they stick around when the going gets tough. An ally stands and fights, they don't cut and run at the first sign of trouble.
god, you're so fucking right. i'm gonna commission a fursuit of the Target dog and wear it to Folsom
That escalated quickly
I'm so happy my post inspired that exchange.
Yo do you know how hot Folsom usually is??
I don't mind poodling, I'll be naked from the neck down
Oh good, I just couldn't imagine wearing a complete fur suit in that and not passing out
go anti-woke go broke 💀
Go fasch, lose cash
Oh yeah, forgot about that boycott. They're like the easiest one of the bootlicker stores to avoid, so I'm permanently boycotting them.
Because the 'DEI program demise' triggered a consumer boycott from minority groups.
Not just minority groups. White male here, haven't been in since. Actually, I have travelled to and shopped in Canada in the same timeframe, which is a fun side thing.
Almost like what Trump says isn't actually what the majority of people want. Breaking news! The guy that never tells the truth lies again.
They really need to ditch their current CEO. He has been running Target into the ground the past couple of years.
I'm certainly not giving them my money.
Target was good for hot milfs and laughing about high prices. Maybe the clothes selection for kids is good. That's about it. Fuck Target.
They are the only local place I can get transformers, aside from Wal-Mart.
Online ordering will have to sustain me, but that's a lot harder to justify as "impulse purchase."
I'm backlogged on the past year or so of GI Joe Classified figures if you're looking for another way to justify spending money. "Impulse purchase for a friend."
I guess that means we're friends now. Hi.
GI Joe and transformers? What is this, a crossover episode?
Lol ik going where is the electric section!?? Until I saw comment on toys.
Probably also doesn't help that they cut store staff to breaking point in most markets and now those stores look like the set of a Poob zombie movie.
Used to get a decent amount of stuff from Target. Some grocery items were actually cheaper than the big chain grocery. Stopped immediately at the start of the boycott, already adjusted and have had no trouble not going back. Their parking lot looks a lot emptier when we drive past
Whomp whomp
Good. Deserved. I used to go there once in a blue moon just because they had different stuff than my usual shops. Not anymore. They can bite my pale ghost arse.
Good.
You're not allowed to steal from target but you are allowed to go in and try on everything all at once and leave it in the change rooms until they kick you out
I might know people who put multiple items in a box that is supposed to only have one item.
You actually can lift from target, they used to be very aggressive in apprehending people, but they are too afraid of lawsuits like most big box stores, no touching, no instigating, just aggressive customer service.
Now some target have been hit so hard, they locked almost everything up
Pretty sure the "rise in crime" they use to justify the lockdown is bs, just something the CEO saw on fox news.
My daughter has a gymnastics class one night a week and there's nowhere for parents inside the building so we're expected to sit in our cars. Instead of using the gas to keep the heat on, I go to Target to take a dump and walk laps. Even my wife, one of the whitest women I know, has stopped shopping there.
