I don't care how many CEO changes you do. I won't shop there until DEI and LGBT products are back.
Turns out go woke, go broke wasn't a thing.
Where do you shop instead? Like it seems their main competitors are Walmart and Amazon who are both also really bad. I personally have been getting more stuff at Costco as they didn’t roll back DEI and by retail standards treat their employees really well
The real answer is locally owned grocery stores, which are mostly dead except for some Asian supermarkets.
Walmart destroyed the idea that a grocery store was owned by someone who lived in your community.
I miss the days when Fred Meyer was alive. No, seriously, the dude Fred Meyer was a real person.

"He is credited for inventing the modern hypermarket.[6]"

"Fred Meyer was acquired by Kroger in 1998, but the stores retained the Fred Meyer name."
😢
Costco is another one. Home Goods, Marshalls, Kohls works too. Grocery shopping is Aldi, Price Rite, and Wegmans. I'll do Walmart also as last resort. I know they're bad but they are kinda the villain you expect. Target was that good guy that went evil that you know they could be better so the hope is a boycott shocks them back to the light side. I'm lucky enough to live in a medium city so I have a lot of options.
There are no "good" corporations. Just less bad ones.
It’s like voting for Democrats: yeah sure they suck, but not as much as the other options
Throwing in the hat for Trader Joe's
Trader Joe's is anti-union and often rips off small companies that pitch products to them without compensation 😕

CEO makes stupid and unpopular moves because Trumpism appears to be gaining steam. CEO takes it further once Trump is confirmed in election. CEO finds out that voter apathy is not the same thing as support: most Americans aren't hateful bigots, they just aren't politically active enough to stop the hate mongers. Profits drop. CEO gets golden parachute for fucking up.
Isn't corporate america great?
In America, you get rewarded for fucking up so badly.
Support trump? Enjoy your slump!
Go Fash, lose Cash.
Target fled my country in fear of our mighty geese
I also remember when Target came to, and then left, Canada.
Last time I was in a Target they literally had nothing for me to buy. Just aisles of useless merch. Ended up getting a drink because I was thirsty and that was it.
No Xbox games, old PS5/Switch games, horrible book section, no movies to speak of, no decent olive oil... Just a bad scene.
It's like they aren't competing with Walmart or Kroger anymore and are just trying to be a super sized 7-11.
I mean, these places are just grocery stores at this point. That's all Target is for me.
If I bought games, I would just buy them digitally or order a physical copy if for whatever reason that's what I want.
Books? Free downloads at anna's archive.
Movies? Free streaming sites and 1337.
Olive oil...? Decent? Isn't it all kind of the same thing? Lol. But yeah, that's just a grocery item you can get anywhere else.
They are competing with Walmart and Kroger, as a grocery store. That said, it's not much of a competition because you can buy the same damn groceries at Walmart for cheaper than Target, always.
Target is not the target anymore for customers, I’ll see myself out now…
It's wild just how out of touch target's leadership is with their own customer demographics. I'd have to assume the CEO hasn't even stepped foot in one of his own stores to fail as hard as target has.
