Boycotts work. The naysayers are wrong once again.

They’re the only store around here that had a certain flavor(cherry chocolate almond) of kind ice cream bar, but I haven’t been back in a long time anyway, nor do I intend to.

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!
Edit: I am dumb and didn’t read the article.
Or maybe they’re afraid of looting…
Target to close all 1,978 stores for 24 hours as it joins retail ‘blackout’
That article says they’re closing for Easter, which is not an uncommon thing in the US-- for example, Costco will also do that. Nothing to do with the boycott, or “looting”.
I used to like Target, but they suck these days. Even without the DEI stuff.
Neat we are gonna be stuck with Walmart… That’s better?
This shit is dumb
Costco works well to replace Target so far.
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.
You mean all their white & straight customers?
The “Target experience” for me has always been “find product, wait 30 minutes for a cashier”. Couldn’t pay me to shop there anymore. Such a hostile environment.
15 years ago Target specialized in creating a shopping experience where the consumer could discover trendy, fun, useful items that they couldn’t find in other similar retailers. Today it’s all the same merchandise you could find anywhere and there’s no value proposition to shop at Target.
Ah yes, Target.
When you think you are too good to go to Wal-Mart, and want to pay 2x-4x the price of price for the same exact stuff.
Lots of overlap with Canadian Tire in that respect
And just like every retailer, they’ve vertically integrated their supply chain so that they can shove their bullshit brands at you
Don’t choose politics when marketing your store. They eliminated some shoppers with the DEI stuff then they eliminated even more but removing DEI.
Nah Politics is everything now.
I don’t want no vanilla ass store that sells basic neutral beige non-offensive stuff, and say wishy washy bullshit to not offend snowflakes.
The stores I go to support the environment. They give back to communities and schools. They treat their workers right. They put up giant rainbow flags and donate to progressive movements.
I can choose from hundreds of places to shop. Make a MAGA store. At least that tells me to avoid it. But it’s the “We don’t talk about politics” stores that really piss me off.
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.
Costco.
Oh no! Anyways…
Thoughts and prayers.
Ahhh snap
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!
Target USA is heading for the same place Target Canada ended up.
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.
Same!!! Thank you for reassuring my thoughts! It meant so much, especially since I am a MN native who used to shop Target religiously… I am so ashamed by them!!!
