Go fasch, lose cash
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.
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 go there just to use their bathroom. π€·π½ββοΈ
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.
They were so whiney about how trans people cost them money. How about now, assholes.
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 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.
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.
Oh yeah, forgot about that boycott. They're like the easiest one of the bootlicker stores to avoid, so I'm permanently boycotting them.
They're just walmart for people who think they're too good for walmart.
Walmart is trashy even before I knew they fund heritage foundation.
I think it has more to do with everyone being so broke from food, vehicles, and housing.
Yeah but isn't that the place to buy food? If foot traffic is down it means people buy their essentials elsewhere.
Most Targets have only a small section for food and their prices are higher than most other places. Target is essentially a Walmart for people who can afford to not have to go to Walmart.
