    I don’t care how many CEO changes you do. I won’t shop there until DEI and LGBT products are back.

    Turns out go woke, go broke wasn’t a thing.

      Where do you shop instead? Like it seems their main competitors are Walmart and Amazon who are both also really bad. I personally have been getting more stuff at Costco as they didn’t roll back DEI and by retail standards treat their employees really well

        Costco is another one. Home Goods, Marshalls, Kohls works too. Grocery shopping is Aldi, Price Rite, and Wegmans. I’ll do Walmart also as last resort. I know they’re bad but they are kinda the villain you expect. Target was that good guy that went evil that you know they could be better so the hope is a boycott shocks them back to the light side. I’m lucky enough to live in a medium city so I have a lot of options.

    “Cornell will stay on as executive chairman.”

    In other words, he will run the board that the next CEO answers to. This is failing upwards

    Last time I was in a Target they literally had nothing for me to buy. Just aisles of useless merch. Ended up getting a drink because I was thirsty and that was it.

    No Xbox games, old PS5/Switch games, horrible book section, no movies to speak of, no decent olive oil… Just a bad scene.

    It’s like they aren’t competing with Walmart or Kroger anymore and are just trying to be a super sized 7-11.

      I mean, these places are just grocery stores at this point. That’s all Target is for me.

      If I bought games, I would just buy them digitally or order a physical copy if for whatever reason that’s what I want.

      Books? Free downloads at anna’s archive.

      Movies? Free streaming sites and 1337.

      Olive oil…? Decent? Isn’t it all kind of the same thing? Lol. But yeah, that’s just a grocery item you can get anywhere else.

      They are competing with Walmart and Kroger, as a grocery store. That said, it’s not much of a competition because you can buy the same damn groceries at Walmart for cheaper than Target, always.

        Not sure what you like consuming, but no, olive oil is not all the same. I’ve produced it several times.

        Not all olive oil is the same. That’s true for a lot of groceries.

        Also some people enjoy owning movies they like or buying them to support them.

        With your “order everything mindset” why but just order groceries too instead of going there?

        Just feels like you took your life and wonder why everyone doesn’t live that way lol

          Hey man, you don’t have to get defensive because someone pointed out a better, cheaper way of doing things. Just feels like you’re insecure because you can’t tolerate someone promoting how to get things for free.

          We own what we torrent more than what we buy, because buying media usually involves some form of DRM.

          With your “order everything mindset” why but just order groceries too instead of going there?

          Weird thing to point out, but I never mentioned going there in person. I actually do order my groceries. This makes me further believe that you are insecure and grasping at straws because I dared to mention how I get better deals than you.

          You can start using your brain before your wallet at any time! But doing so would mean accepting that you’ve been getting taken advantage of up to that point, which I doubt you’re prepared to do.

    It’s wild just how out of touch target’s leadership is with their own customer demographics. I’d have to assume the CEO hasn’t even stepped foot in one of his own stores to fail as hard as target has.

      They bent over for trolls and snowflake conservatives.

      And guess what? Theyre not buying shit from Target either.

      You done fucked up both sides of the aisle.

      Activists and customers on the right attacked Target on social media for its LGBTQ-themed merchandise during Pride Month. Target employees faced threats. Misinformation spread on social media that the swimsuits designed for transgender people were marketed to children, which they were not. The company removed them from stores.

      There was a “strong reaction” to Pride merchandise and the response was a “signal for us to pause, adapt and learn,” Target said.

      But Target’s response frustrated supporters of gay and transgender rights, who said the company caved to bigoted pressure.
