I cannot believe how filthy those stores are. It’s as if someone went through and deliberately ransacked them, and they never get cleaned up. Absolute trash.
That's the after Covid clientele & loss of employees. I've witnessed customers purposely trash the store and once while an employee followed behind trying to keep up. I wondered if it was MAGA TikTok or something.
The only reason a lot of these Corporations did it was to avoid boycotts in the first place, it wasn’t because they wanted to be Good Corporate Citizens, they were just trying to save their market share! BOYCOTT Them!
I've been avoiding Target ever since they forced new employees to watch anti-union videos. To be clear, I'm not sure if they still do this, but they certainly used to.
Consider putting your feelings and plan of action on paper and delivering it to your local Target store manager. I did on the day they announced. It was liberating. A tangible step beyond yelling into the void.
So disappointed in Target! Trump is making the government do this, not corporations so Target is making this decision all on their own and will pay the price!
We have found Aldis and Costco to be great alternatives to Target. I’d rather go out of my way to avoid Target than to give them an ounce of my disabled, female, LGBTQIA+ moneys.
Not all big boxes are created equal - Costco is one of the biggest boxes of all, and so far standing up for what’s right (hoping they negotiate satisfactory union contracts this week).
Stop shopping at Target, Lowe’s, John Deere, META, Amazon, McDonald’s, Walmart, Ford and any other company who has canceled their DEI. They are unAmerican, racist, and spineless.
I have to admit, I have stepped away from the daily news. What is this about❓
It was not that long ago, Target was under major fire by the Right b/c they had a special section in their store for LBGT.
We have a super Target here. That section was big and in the front of the store. Inclusive❓
It's disappointing that Target turned out to be cowards when we thought they were allies, and we're gonna see a lot of that in the coming years. They took our money and ran.
So, you’ll increase your support of the racist, colonizing oil industry and contribute more to the endless pollution and unsustainable public cost of maintaining our crumbling, Cold War era, car centric transportation infrastructure to…fund the same oligarchs?🤔
It don’t need money, don’t take fame
Don’t need no credit card to ride this train. It’s strong and it’s sudden and it’s cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life.
That's the power of love
I am surprised Target caved, but I closed my red card account today. I’ve known Target to be great at employing a diverse group of employees, and promoting from within. Their decision doesn’t make sense.
Corporations are the canary in the coal mine of fascism. We need to take heed of their automatic obedience to Trump because they know the rule of law doesn't apply now, so they are choosing sides early to preserve their wealth.
Ahhh, got it. They must of lost $’s when boycotted, this past June, over Gay Pride merch. Didn’t want to reoffend the Nazis, they would lose even more $’s.
I don't think they are worried about the consumer end of the equation. They are worried about being targeted directly by a corrupt political party controlling the US government.
Funny thing is, it’s not like the right is ever going to forgive them for being “woke”. Now the left hates Target too. Sucks for them, now they have no one
Excellent news! Our community needs true supporters, not fake ones, especially now. Like their choice to "pull back" on DEI -- Target will pull back on expansion and close stores.
...and I'm SERIOUS about ending my shopping at Target even though they carry certain items others do not, e.g., Tazo Passion Tea Bags. Oh well, guess my taste buds will have to adjust to another flavor down the road.

because the kroger website defaults to a location that is since closed (i have no idea why....) you have to click on the 'troy city' here and change to your location if there's kroger nearby
I had a big shop ready for Target and now I have changed plans. It is an inconvenience for me to have to shop multiple stores, but I do not mind at all. Say no to the #KneeBenders
But, you can see how "trad" wife, vegan anti vaxers have all been had by kkkultization "separatist" ops. This is a patriarchal special technique delivered by russian, and neo nazi: both have the same goal. Extermination of anyone who is not them. Purge patriarchy.
I'm barely surviving but thanks for the heads up about stocks. none of the homeless Vets i bring supplies to own stocks either, but i haven't seen their portfolio, so I can't say for sure.
The only reason I shopped at Target in the last 6 years was because I returned an Xmas gift bought from there. I haven't really shopped at Target in like 15 years.
🤣 Funny, In the last 6 years I stopped shopping at Target here because getting into the parking lot sucks, they keep pushing their stupid credit card, grocery section sucks and just takes up space, it's just an overpriced Wally Mart. Oh,and DEI politically, y'all suck
Target also said they would stop doing business with minority companies to get product in the stores. Target was open and public about saying they didn't want our business. So why should we continue to do business with them?
Exactly this. There is no excuse for Target doing this except for greed. They want the tax cuts. At the expense of people. I refuse to take part. I’m encouraging everyone else to follow suit.
I am not boycotting or even care why they took the steps. Target say they didn't want people like me working in the stores or products made by people like me sold in the stores. They just told me in no uncertain terms they don't want me in the store. We don't need to make everything political.
DGAF why Target decided they don't want my business anymore. As far as I am concerned Target doesn't exist anymore - forever.
See how I am not doing this for political reasons?
See how I don't care that Target did it for political reasons?
Make a list of the products you use that are most vital and order directly. Don't use amazon. I think Ebay is still ok? Either way, I check reviews and pricing on amazon and then go directly to the vendor. Also you will start to buy less shit you don't need anyway by not going to the big box store.
The African American community is planning a boycott on February 1st. Companies need to know Americans are serious! Don’t support us, we won’t support them.
I live in Minneapolis, where Target is based. They employ a LOT of people, whom they have just betrayed. It’s gonna hit our city hard, but that’s ok. I used my last gift card on Sunday and now will drive the extra miles to Costco and Aldi
I returned my RedCard to Target this past week when they announced their rollback of DEI. I have been a loyal shopper since 1992 in pompano Beach, Florida!
In HS economics class they explained the stock market was a result of normal business practice. If you had strong product, stock would rise as natural result.
Later I realized it is totally manipulated by The Rich making proclamations they don’t even need to follow through on. It’s Monopoly money.
All you need to completely debunk the rationality of stock prices is to look at two stocks, F (goes down with strong sales figures and solid assets) and TSLA (goes up nearly 50% on worst sales report ever).
Corporations are absolutely real and you deny their existence and significance at your own peril (and that of the entire species).
This is why people need to ACTUALLY learn sociology etc and not just declare enlightenment halfway through the first paragraph. Social constructs aren't "unreal".
No worries, the way the cuts and dissolution of jobs and funding is coming, no one will have money to spend at Target anyhow, and when the banks crash there will be no FDIC to cover us. Problem solved.
Not going to Target anymore. Haven’t been in a month or more. I can get my cat food elsewhere. And I have enough cheap tee shirts to last the rest of my life.
I shop at Target perhaps once or twice a year. The Target I usually go to is perpetually understaffed, and customer service is basically nonexistant. I had to stand in line for 20 minutes at the checkout last time. I had decided to not shop there anymore even before the announcement.
I happened to be in one just the other day (before this announcement) and it was really sad looking. I don’t normally shop there any longer but there aren’t and Department stores like this, aside from Walmart, in my area. Gonna look hard alternatives.
Well deserved. I love Target. It’s my favorite place to shop. Not now. I will take a break and see if they come to their senses. I really didn’t like the way they said it. It was harsh.

Called their headquarters yesterday.
They won't lose much because of this unfortunately
They'll feel this.
#target?
Last time I read, they were going to remain decent.
🤬

I just switched my regular household shopping routine from Amazon to Target. Can't keep up with the hypocrites.
Costco it is!
Top 4 shareholders of Amazon:
1. Bezos
2. Vanguard
3. BlackRock
4. State Street Corp.

I can lose plenty without them.

Close the red door!
I suppose it will become their favorite store now.
I went to target, knowingly spending more for the same stuff, to support a business that at least gave lip service to decency.
At this point I see them as equal but at least walmart didn't pretend to be good.

Let your shopping reflect your values.
'orphaned red shopping cart slowly rolls by'
Costco voted to retain DEI, with 98% of shareholders supporting it.
Corporations are community destroying colonizers.
Someone needs to tell these zombies they are all starting to stink, and we can smell it.
