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.
It’s more than that. The right wing dollar doesn’t come back. They use bud light as an insult still. The queer community will be marketed to if you do right by us. Break that trust and it can be earned back. The right wing community will instead declare your product their anathema.

Which is how it should go, because it give corporations incentives to do socially moral things.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Ahhh snap
Thoughts and prayers
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.
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.
We’re fortunate enough to be close to a couple major cities that have some small business options. Otherwise Costco has been a great bet like the other comment mentioned. We’re also trying to avoid Amazon more but it can be hard for some specialty items. We figure that spending less on there is still a positive step.
Once you take away the veneer of civility, Target is just an overpriced Walmart.
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.
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!!!
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.
I just want to take tbis moment to thank Target for their thoughtful removal of DEI policies. You see I’ve wanted to move for a really long time and my wife always had a requirement that anywhere we moved to would have a target nearby. It complicated the process. But now, I don’t have to adhere to that requirement anymore, because we don’t buy anything from them anymore. It’s great. So thanks Target for showing my wife you were a lousy bunch of scum sucking greedy pigs. I’ve known for years, but it’s nice to have proof.
Good.
Don’t choose politics when marketing your store. They eliminated some shoppers with the DEI stuff then they eliminated even more but removing DEI.
Fuck Target anyway. They’ve always been a shit company. They just hide it.
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?
