Go fash lose cash
Definitely nothing to do with them being generally more expensive and people being concerned about money
Porque no los dos. There were a lot of people shopping there on autopilot. That whole Target run thing was real, you walk in get your prescription need to wait around for 30 minutes go through housewares realize you needed some chips, buy some stuff to make for dinner, now you’re walking out of there with a $300 receipt.
They’re going to have a hard time re-engaging those people.
Once you take away the veneer of civility, Target is just an overpriced Walmart.
Thoughts and prayers
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.
Fuck Target anyway. They’ve always been a shit company. They just hide it.
Boycotting and striking work we should be organising more of them world wide.
Targeted points work. Often the left tries to do general strikes or boycott everyone. Thats hard. What’s not super hard is agreeing it’s a dick move to eat at chicfila or boycotting target when they roll back dei.
Boycotts work. The naysayers are wrong once again.
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
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.
Edit: replied to wrong thread.
You mean all their white & straight customers?
I mean. I never shopped at a Target. So I’m doing my part.
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.
We all must make Cherry Chocolate Almond sacrifices.
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.
Get woke or go broke.
go fasch, lose cash
Remove DEI, DIE.
Go nazi, declare bankruptcy
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!
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.
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.
they should learn the lesson from appeasing hitler with sudetlands.
Hey, I’m Czech and I do not want Target to own our borders!
InBev stock is up 1.6% over the last year. If you’d bought stocks this January, you would have made about 30% profit.
InBev is doing fine, because they own over 600 brands globally.
Bud Light sales however are not doing fine. Its sales are down about 40% compared to pre-2023 levels, and has dropped from most-popular to third most popular beer. They pissed off the no-taste mouthbreathing MAGAts who were their primary customers by mailing Dylan one fucking can, and then pissed off everyone else when they threw Dylan under the bus immediately because the MAGAts started all bleating about it.
Target is now literally in that same position.
So the boycott was pointless, as indicated. I also saw people saying they were going to boycott InBev, and they clearly had an impact for some period of time, along with the Bud Light boycotters, yet here we are. Also, you mentioned InBev, not Bud Light.
My dude, it sounds like you’re being needlessly accusative.
I never said InBev was in trouble; I said they fucked up their response to the Dylan Mulvaney backlash. Which they absolutely did, and it caused their most popular American beer brand to lose sales.
A lot of people at the time were (correctly) pointing out that most of the beers the MAGAts decided to switch to in their performative protests were also owned by InBev.
