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!

40 days should be indefinitely until management changes. As in, those who "kissed the ring" must leave.
I helped with their foot traffic! But I didn't buy anything, because fuck target.
I was just at a Costco over this and tbh, I fucking hate all these stores and it's a shame because at least Target around here was the most tolerable of the big box options, at least before they put everything behind glass with no personnel to open it.
What was it like in the before times, before the Walmarts and Targets of the world took over?
I remember when department stores ruled, and had actual pull. The "right" store could anchor your plaza/mall and they could demand aot. One of the oldest, but fun ones, was Service Merchandise. Even within the store you found what you wanted and filled out a ticket and brought it to a counter, your item would then come out of the warehouse on a conveyor belt which as a kid was like magic lol. Also going to a Kmart or similar store and putting that "must have" item on layaway was also cool.
This place was the cats pajamas!

Neat we are gonna be stuck with Walmart.... That's better?
This shit is dumb
Costco works well to replace Target so far.
I'm surprised if the boycott is having any effect since I've hardly heard anything about it since it started. Target around here is somewhat useful though I haven't gone there since pre-boycott. Also when I've gone, I've often taken parking lot delivery, which might not count as foot traffic.

Definitely nothing to do with them being generally more expensive and people being concerned about money
