I can't remember the last time I shopped there anymore and I was a LOYAL Target customer. I've realized I don't need as much as I was buying. I'm choosing to live simply and only supporting businesses, big or small, that align with my morals and values. π―
My college student texted me today to ask if we were still avoiding π―. I said, yes if itβs possible. She said no problem and her friends were too. We chose to shop there. Not because we had to.
I love Gen Z! My college student calls me with the same questions! Recently it was Amazon, but she needed something fast and didn't have time to shop. Under the circumstances, I allowed it, but she knows we're done with Amazon when my subscription is up in June.
Oh for sure. Some students have transportation concerns or other issues where Amazon can be a lifesaver. So anything they can do to make a statement is great. I agree. Love Gen Z!
Let me stop you there Target, you killed your DEI policies because a piss poor wannabe dictator told you to, so not falling for your bullshit about "implementing practice and policy that is good for our community" when you stabbed a good third of your community in the back. Scurry off to the bottom.
This is an old energy conservation sign that Iβve seen in Targets here in Texas for years.
(Iβm boycotting them for DEI removal, but this video is BS.)
Ty. Yeah ventilation sucks at schools cuz they are ignorant to it and keep doors locked. We could have education on issue but we get measles instead.
You know about the folks born between 57-68 haven't less chance of immunity?
I got my MMR booster. Not playin
"We are losing money, so we will continue to make work harder for our employees, especially those with health problems and vision limitations!" -Target, March 2025
The right is awash with lies in justification of their political bias. We should not follow that path. Target in my area has been doing this for the last 10 years. While this might be related to sales, they might also just be saving power as part of the market the are in.
Target, why don't you just tell us the truth?. Your sales have plummeted because you chose Trump over America. Tell your CEO he's going to have to wait for a few years to buy another house in the Hamptons

I responded to it, but I did not post it. Even so, what I posted in response is the truth. I stopped shopping there due to their ignorant move when it came to Pride merchandise and this is just another nail in the coffin for Target.
I was scrolling to see if someone else had mentioned this. Folks who donβt live in the with sketchy, sketchy power grid donβt know how much is needed just to keep (some) of the lights on.
One of the Targets near me has had that sign - and the reduction - for about two years. So while Iβd love to believe the boycotts caused this, they probably didnβt.
guess those shitty policies backfiring on em where your support system at Target oh thats right you alienated your customer base ... sounds like a personal problem to me all those people you refused to defend and stand your ground this is Karma! Enjoy your stay.
haha, love it! I have a Target less than half mile from my house and used to shop there all the time. I have not/will not set foot in one since they bent the knee.
There are lots of things reasonably priced and locally made that are available online. I've been pleasantly surprised recently as my area doesn't really appreciate small businesses. Amazon is definitely a hard habit to break!!
Saw a great recommendation the other day. Use Amazon to FIND the product, but then buy the product directly from the SOURCE. They avoid the 20% Amazon fee and you avoid pissing yourself off.
They will do layoffs.
Then they'll blame the "economy" by blaming the consumer for not buying.
Then they'll do more layoffs.
Then they'll switch suppliers, cut corners.
Then they'll start laying off middle management.
Then they'll come out and say their C level gets tens of millions.
Fuck Target.
This one I canβt figure out. π Is Florida mad because Target added rainbows without the stateβs permission which caused Floridians to boycott and tank their own stocks? Are they going to be mad again that they forced Target to drop DEI causing liberals to boycott and still crashing revenue ? π€·π»ββοΈπ€ͺ
Itβs an old sign to conserve energy. Iβve seen it here in Texas Targets for years.
Iβm boycotting Target for stopping DEI, but this TikTok is BS.
I've been boycotting them for the same reason, so I don't know about currently, but the Target stores in my area did not have these signs previously. Maybe it's regional?
Well that's interesting! Maybe they should reduce the size of top management salaries to save some money. I'm sure they make a ton of money they could contribute to pay some bills.
Iβm in retail and the energy conservation of half lighting has been going on for decades now. Some aisles will appear darker during these periods so they post these signs.
After years of daily deliveries, I stopped Amazon entirely after the election and have not missed it at all. I've been buying lots more from Costco, small local retailers, and directly from manufacturers instead. Trust me when I say you can do it too!
I have been doing this for a while since pandemic when prices on Amazon started going up. Sometimes you can find items for half as much not buying on Amazon. Then there are weird times when something is 25%+ off sale on Amazon and full price buying direct. This happened during holidays π
You can join for a month and cancel? π I ordered a lot of bulk items from them, and the shipping cost just about made me choke but Iβd rather buy my bulk prepper shit from them than Amazon.
They have some French butter Iβve been coveting.
Also, apparently add items to a shopping cart on Amazon, but donβt check out. Apparently it costs them a lot of money to email reminders to you about items youβve left in your cart.
Drove by a target that is next door to a Costco. Guess where you canβt find a parking spot? Costco! Guess what lot was pretty thin with cars? Target. This was on a Sunday at noon. Not a good sign for the bullseye.
I guess itβs working for target too. We need to keep up these boycott cause they seem to be doing it. Also, the police should not be needed at Tesla as long as people are peacefully protesting thatβs the key people peacefully protesting
Is it peaceful when people die because of the funds republicans have cut? When they mercilessly sever funding for life saving medical coverageβ¦. When soldiers with badges drag people out of their homes a gun point to deport them.
No, theyβre not being peaceful, but it doesnβt matter to them. They find a reason to make it work in their own minds and the sheep that believe in them follow them also. But if were to save our nation and its values, we have to have hope and determination to do so.
Lol that is what they get for rolling back on minorities to appease the majority. Instead of standing their ground and staying supportive of their customers, and workers. Cowards and backstabbers!
You just know a company that axed diversity, equity and inclusion the absolute second they thought they could get away with it doesn't care about the environment either π€£π€£π€£ Keep not shopping at Target, friends, looks like it's working!
I stopped shopping there when they pulled all their pride gear and put it in the back of the store to appease the maga morons. The CEO of Target can go fuck himself
I gave them the benefit of the doubt over the threats of violence to store employees but now I know that it was a mistake they made, it emboldened the bigots, it shat all over a core market that was loyal to target, and was the beginning of the end for them. Now I celebrate the downfall.
Yep, 2023 I said no more Target after they caved during Pride. Havenβt been in a store since. Donβt shop Walmart. I did have to order 1 thing from them. In 2019
Same here. You cowtow to the lowest form of shitperson, I donβt have a reason to go there anymore. I havenβt been in one in years. Though Iβm thinking about going to one to just walk around and see how poorly they are doing. Maybe use the bathroom. π€£

Last year, didnβt target have long lines down the length of the store, not enough clerks, shutting down self-checkout? Look, we solved their problem for them!
Thanks for sharing, I must confess you share a lot of interesting posts and I love it. Only those who care about you can understand you even when you're quiet. Do you mind sending me a friend request or reply to my DM so we can get to know each other, if you don't mind?
The seed has taken root. Today I plan to run errands and pick up a few things I need to buy and it took all of 2οΈβ£ seconds to remember π€ we βdonβt go to π―β. Easy detour.
Wow, it's amazing. You start to realize the potential of the power of the people. Right now most of the populace is dazed and confused, but there is an increasing galvanization of consciousness converging on our rights from many perspectives from cities and rural towns.
If it was full power and assembly of the American people corps would beg for forgiveness. They really don't want us to find out we have the power. And they fear what comes next after their government socialism is turned off and replaced with a free market and socialism returns to the people.
I got a letter from Target asking me why I havenβt used my card in 10 months. I stopped shopping there primarily b/c of hideous customer service when shopping online. Now Iβll never shop there again b/c theyβre capitulating to fascists. I plan to tell them that - written on the letter they sent me.
I don't get it. Conserving energy by cycling lights and conditioning the interior space at a temp closer to the ambient temperature outside doesn't exactly sound like an "f you" to customers. Big box stores use massive amounts of energy. It should be standard practice to try to mitigate that.
Itβs not meant to be.Itβs smart practice. This is a joke by some to indicate theyβve had to cut back,but itβs been practice for sometime.Personally, I donβt agree with the boycotts because they actually carry quite a few products from minority owned small businesses.When we boycott, they suffer.
1. They canβt use solar panels? 2. Are you saying that youβd prefer your shopping experience to be in dim light and stifling heat? Because that was what it was like last summer.
Good! I'm still not buying their stuff... Amazon and Meta are still on that list too. My longest to date is boycotting Apple since around 1990, so I hope the other ones like it on my boycott list.
I admit I like the CVS inside the Target vs the stand alone CVS (which Iβve caught trying to rip me off more than once). Do you think thatβs exempt?? All of the employees would qualify as DEI

They're not getting any of MY money.

Or did I?π€¨

If you want to boycott something it should be the #1 company that starved black communities and normalized full time employees get Medicaid and snap
Walmart stock is going downward too. Itβs just harder to kill because itβs less bougie, and purposefully placed in areas that rely heavily on it.
The Walmart is packed where I live and no one says shit online about this much much greater evil
Kind what Chris Webb billionaires Pal is trying to do now... Run their competition out of business
The poor go there cuz it's easy to use eBt they advertise it and have the lowest prices on many things
They make sure eventually no competition
Like "boycott target" they organized
The boycott is happening because Target publicly revoked its DEI initiatives and removed its black designers after the Nazis made it βok.β
Walmart didnβt do that, and if it did, itβs also being hurt. Go look at the stock. Go look at Costco.

I bet when they go out of business, they'll be like, "Conserving energy IS BAD... look, it shut us down!"
Delish.
