Target is definitely feeling the pain if the CEO comes out and says this. Good job consumers. Where we are spending our money is making a difference. Until the CEOs feel the pressure nothing will change. Pressure the CEOs they pressure the elected officials.

denniswatson.bsky.social•4 days ago

I won’t be shopping at Target, though. We will see what happens at the Farmers Market. If prices haven’t gone up for them, I trust them not to raise the price I pay just to skim profit based on the expectation of price increases.
