Maybe elected officials that keep defending this moron out of some kind of false sense of protection can take hint?

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.

Haven’t bought from Target since Feb 9. They used to be a store I bought from multiple times per week. I bought from them specifically because I didn’t agree with Walmart or their ethics, and Target — allegedly, I guess — was the opposite. A supporter of the community and social causes. Until it was convenient for Target to not do so anymore.
I have moved to other stores that have a backbone and stand up for their whole community and all of their employees.
Fuck that company. I hope they burn.

I helped with their foot traffic! But I didn't buy anything, because fuck target.
Don’t choose politics when marketing your store. They eliminated some shoppers with the DEI stuff then they eliminated even more but removing DEI.
Nah Politics is everything now.
I don't want no vanilla ass store that sells basic neutral beige non-offensive stuff, and say wishy washy bullshit to not offend snowflakes.
The stores I go to support the environment. They give back to communities and schools. They treat their workers right. They put up giant rainbow flags and donate to progressive movements.
I can choose from hundreds of places to shop. Make a MAGA store. At least that tells me to avoid it. But it's the "We don't talk about politics" stores that really piss me off.
Good.
Haven't been in a target since they bent the knee, and won't till they fully reinstate Diversity Equity and Inclusion policies.

I've only ever lived once place where there was a Target conveniently close, but it was in a shopping center that was an absolute nightmare to get into and out of. I would still order from them online here and there, mostly clothes. But the last few times I've ordered clothes online from Target, it's been absolute crap quality. My last order actually qualified as false advertising. I ordered a button up shirt. It turned out to be velcro, with only one or two buttons at the very top. And the shirt was so short, it exposed the bottom of my belly button. Prior to that, I ordered a pack of underwear that stunk so bad of chemicals, it made me nauseous.
So, regardless of all the other crap going on with Target, I'd already stopped shopping there.
40 days should be indefinitely until management changes. As in, those who "kissed the ring" must leave.
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?

Costco works well to replace Target so far.
