    I just want to take tbis moment to thank Target for their thoughtful removal of DEI policies. You see I’ve wanted to move for a really long time and my wife always had a requirement that anywhere we moved to would have a target nearby. It complicated the process. But now, I don’t have to adhere to that requirement anymore, because we don’t buy anything from them anymore. It’s great. So thanks Target for showing my wife you were a lousy bunch of scum sucking greedy pigs. I’ve known for years, but it’s nice to have proof.

      They’re the only store around here that had a certain flavor(cherry chocolate almond) of kind ice cream bar, but I haven’t been back in a long time anyway, nor do I intend to.

    Target flip flopped in the stupidest way possible. It’s like their top guys don’t read any reports or that they already removed their diversity and thus anyone that could tell them who exactly shops their before they announced this. lmao 😂 and they can’t backtrack it!

    15 years ago Target specialized in creating a shopping experience where the consumer could discover trendy, fun, useful items that they couldn’t find in other similar retailers. Today it’s all the same merchandise you could find anywhere and there’s no value proposition to shop at Target.

      Ah yes, Target.

      When you think you are too good to go to Wal-Mart, and want to pay 2x-4x the price of price for the same exact stuff.

      And just like every retailer, they’ve vertically integrated their supply chain so that they can shove their bullshit brands at you

    We used to spend a good amount of money at Target and now we won’t go anywhere near it. It was great for gift shopping and seasonal stuff but we’ve figured out better options with retailers that don’t have gross values.

    I’ve only ever lived once place where there was a Target conveniently close, but it was in a shopping center that was an absolute nightmare to get into and out of. I would still order from them online here and there, mostly clothes. But the last few times I’ve ordered clothes online from Target, it’s been absolute crap quality. My last order actually qualified as false advertising. I ordered a button up shirt. It turned out to be velcro, with only one or two buttons at the very top. And the shirt was so short, it exposed the bottom of my belly button. Prior to that, I ordered a pack of underwear that stunk so bad of chemicals, it made me nauseous.

    So, regardless of all the other crap going on with Target, I’d already stopped shopping there.

    Haven’t been in a target since they bent the knee, and won’t till they fully reinstate Diversity Equity and Inclusion policies.

        I don’t think he’s wrong. By shopping there once they make the desired changes, you signal to the company what you want to see from them. Other companies notice too. You reward them with your business. But by boycotting then all together, then they have no reason to make progressive policies. I think it’s better trying to steer the shitty company than letting them get worse.
