Heh
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
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
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.
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.
Yeah haven’t shopped at either Target or Amazon since February. Feels good not supporting Nazi supporters.
Same. And my bank account is better off without them. Gods know we’ll need whatever help we can get.
Yeah, that’s why I shop at Sam’s Club!
Uh, sam’s club is owned by walmart. Try Costco of you can
That’s the joke
Good.
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.
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
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
That escalated quickly
I’m so happy my post inspired that exchange.
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.
No, they sell food but it’s a tiny part of the store usually.
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.
Both Turkey and the Balkans have shown us the way. Regular universal boycotts.
We need to break capitalism.
Heh, I’m a balkan in the US and have dropped so much cold turkey after being a loyal customer/fan for decades. Closing my wallet and heart is easy. Money and attention should go only where its deserved.
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.
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’m certainly not giving them my money.
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.
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.
I don’t know why you would think Kroger is any better. My local Kroger has basically turned into a police state, with uniformed cops following people, extra gates at the entrances, and now half of the products are behind locked glass or in a separate purchase area. It all feels incredibly hostile, and I know they aren’t actually losing that much merchandise. It’s all just theater to scare us. I don’t know if they have any DEI programs but if I had to guess I’d say probably not, based on their track record of dumb decisions.
This has been the case at my local krogers too. its like actual pearl clutching. And of course they arent any cheaper than any of the other places for all the security theater. Also fuck those carts the the wheel locks that false flag every other time I have to go there. They beat the hell out of my shins and I just want to chuck the entire cart through a window
Kroger has not ended their DEI policies so they have not declared they care more about exterminating minorities than money.
I wouldn’t shop at Kroger if local stores had the things I want.
Kroger just hates everyone equally. Its a shit place to work and a shit place to shop. They probably havent terminated their policies because they know they are getting more money from the people coming over to them but you best bet they would do it if it actually made more money.
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.
