      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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

      And just like every retailer, they’ve vertically integrated their supply chain so that they can shove their bullshit brands at you

    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!

    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.
