North Carolina has been more progressive than most Deep South states and, though it did go for Trump, it went blue for state leadership. Lowe’s has been more socially conscious than that other building supply company, so I was surprised. Not shocked.
Call Target and tell them. I called yesterday - waited on hold about 10 minutes. Be polite but clear - "We spent thousands of dollars a year with you, and now we won't. I'm moving my money to Costco specifically because of your rollback of DEI policies." 612-304-6073
Also delete your target accounts and request they delete your date from the app AND https://target.com. They have already sold it everyone but it’ll send a message!
Good for you. I’d put it in writing to head office, as I’m never sure that feedback to a company gets escalated to those that make decisions. And I’d ask them for a reply!
I became a Target stan during the pandemic when they were so fast and efficient requiring masks, setting up staff safety and launching their curbside app which worked well from the jump. I’m so disappointed.
I’d love to dump Target, but they’re a mile from my house. The closest Costco is 52 miles away. Don’t want to use Amazon and Walmart is the very worst. I can shop local for some things, but my options are shrinking by the day.
Great ?. Look for independent retailers. I always assumed that Target would be cheaper for health/beauty items, but I've found my local (unionized) grocer is just as reasonable for soap/shampoo etc. Do the best you can to avoid 🎯 but don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. ⬇️💲is ⬇️💲☺️
Yeah, I remember that. The Target in my area did not pull the apparel but they took down the display after members of the radical right started messing up the display and being generally obnoxious, which is their natural inclination.
It was the same time KOHLS did it. 2 years ago I believe. I was living in Idaho at the time. The St Luke’s nest to that particular shopping center flew a trans flag for Pride month. That made me happy.
I called Target and they are keeping a tally of the people calling to say they are unhappy with the policy being removed. They will crunch the numbers on how much it will cost them. Take 5 minutes to call.
