      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.

    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.

    Oh yeah, forgot about that boycott. They’re like the easiest one of the bootlicker stores to avoid, so I’m permanently boycotting them.

    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.

    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.

    The second they canceled their DEI policies I started getting everything from my local supermarcado or kroger market.

    If they bring back their policies I might give them some buisness again.

      Even if they reinstate their DEI policies they’ve forever lost my business. They can’t be trusted and don’t deserve any customers.

        It would take a reverse in policy and a changing of leadership across the top before I consider adding Target to my rotation. If push comes to shove, I will still go to Target before Walmart and Amazon, but I’ve not needed to step foot in one since the DEI rollback because there are still better options.

    They really need to ditch their current CEO. He has been running Target into the ground the past couple of years.

    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.

    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
