Keep it going…

NEW: Retailers like Walmart and Target that have rolled back their DEI efforts have seen a big drop in foot traffic, while Costco, a company that continues to invest in DEI, has seen more foot traffic. While correlation doesn't equal causation, still intriguing.

I am happily boycotting Target. They treat customers like criminals, too. If an older white woman (me) is shadowed obsessively "Can I help you find something?" while I read cheese labels and don't require help, how horribly must people of color shopping there be treated by Target staff?

It must be harassment and surveillance on steroids! 😔 😠

I've been in Target, (not often because I don't live in US)
Who's going to work there? Most of the staff seem to not be apple pie.

Years ago, there was a website called “Buy Blue”-your Dad might remember it (we’re the same age). It broke down retailers by enviro/labor/safety standards. It was how I got into informed consumerism. The NAACP just launched this https://naacp.org/campaigns/black-consumer-advisory I’d love to see something massive grow.

I have notq shopped walmart since this. I no longer make any purchases on amazon, deleted facebook, and look where everything I purchase is manufactured. Fuck these pieces of shit I will not give them my money!

I was tickled when I bought some ritz crackers that were manufactured in Mexico 😀
