They gave into the customers who entered the stores actively looking to be aggrieved, turning away customers who merely wanted to exist and shop.

Well stated.
Hear! Hear! … Needed small, medical item in a hurry… stopped by and Target was a ghost town…
Yes. Exactly. Funny how these spoiled, intolerant scum bag customers aren't sustaining Target in the long run...Get it together Target before you have to reorganize in bankruptcy court.
They forgot their customers
Not only did they lose the dumbfuck conservatives looking to make a quick bit of internet fame but they now lost all the people who actually shopped there in the first place. Love to see their greedy decisions biting them in the ass.
I was a loyal Target shopper until their true values came out. Not a shopper there anymore.
Same.
I'm still trying to find a better place for everyday clothes. I've been making do with a piece here and there from Costco, but I do need to find a place with a good selection of cheap, durable, and reasonably good-looking clothes that's not run by dipshits.
And they are now dealing with the consequences of their actions.
I’ve only shopped there once after their DEI rollback. I don’t think I’m ever going back.
😂😂😂😂. People need to believe in karma bc it’s real.
I am proudly Never Target.
Target forgot the number one rule in business: know thy customer.
Haven’t been to a Target this year. Kind of a game to find alternative local sources
I cancelled everything target once they went back on the DEI initiatives… a large part of the Target loyalty was that it was anti-Walmart!
😹 i am decease
The execs shouldn’a put a target on their own backsides…..
Just like how Elon pissed off all the kinds of people who like electric cars, but don’t like nazis. Talk about “read the room.”
Target, apologize. Take a bold stance against fascism and in favor of diversity. Go on record saying that you will not bow to fascist pressure ever again. Scapegoating is a cornerstone of fascism.
Oh no, immediately rolling over to fascism didn't work out for you? What a shame. Thoughts and prayers you skidmarks.
Weird what happens when you make only wrong decisions.
I was in a Walmart the other day that had a big Pride display in the middle of the main aisle.
You know they will just fire bottom tier employees to make up the difference.
We stopped shopping there
The rainbow use to be a fashion statement in the 80s I even had rainbow sheets. I like that the rainbow means inclusive to all
I decorated with rainbows during college in the 70s, had the sheets, too. Then it became a gay symbol, and that's fine--I'm not gay, but am an ally, several relatives are gay and I love them. Never kept me from buying rainbow items. My office is decorated w/a lifetime of collecting rainbow items.🌈🏳️🌈🌈
The guy who just wants some God damn shoes, can take them off a goddamn homeless guy. I'm sure he'll find his way. Or he could go shoeless because he doesn't like rainbows (connect THOSE dots!)
Sidebar…who goes to Target for shoes?
Haven't stepped foot in a target since they rolled back DIVERSITY
I used to shop there weekly. Not since they caved to Trump.
I do get my free Circle item though. But no money spent! (I ditched Amazon in November and thought "Oh, I'll just get stuff at Target ..." There's no Costco near me.)
In a perfect world, I would ship your Costco goods to you. They are fabulous ❤️
Ditto. I'm managing without them, and they aren't getting a couple hundred bucks a month from me.
I used to shop there on average 3 times a month. Was my fo to for a few things. NEVER AGAIN!
*Go
And they could fix this at any time by reinstating the DEI initiatives--and they still choose not to.
I’m not sure about that. They’ve shown their true colors and I won’t be back regardless
Seconded. They can rot for all I care. I’ve figured out where else I can get most of the things they sell, which means that I won’t go back that easily. (Ditto Amazon. It’s been six months. It can be another sixty years.)
Not in this case. The NAACP/ black church organized boycott has led to permanent customer loss. A lot of people don't know they coupled the DEI rollback with ending partnerships with many black owned products. Those product fans already found permanent replacement retailers for all their shopping
I don't want them getting a penny of my money period
No. I don't think there's a way back from this. Customer goodwill and loyalty has been damaged badly. Very hard to repair them.
Don’t count on it
One more reason to love Lance Storm.
>> It's going to get worse. Approximately 30% of Target's inventory comes from China. <<
I'm a college educated suburban Gen X woman with a walkable Target less than a mile from my house. I'm also a married lesbian. What I am not is a racist POS who spends her money at anti-DEI companies who bend the knee to fascist bullies. FAFO.
No sympathy here.
Classic FAFO
Love it
shitwrecked. adding that gem to my vocabulary
2 separate words but theyre better as one!
Hahaha fucking ha
"Well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions"-target. People who get mad over seeing a rainbow will remain mad regardless. Target gave into a demographic they could never win over..
Precisely. And alienated the demographic that was loyal to them. It was probably the worst business decision I've seen a major corporation make in a long time.
And here is the part their marketing department and leadership does not seem to understand, once you’ve lost a customer it is very, very, very difficult to get them to return regardless of what you say.
Much like all my exes, don’t miss ya at all now that you’re gone from my life,Target. You should never have let me see how easy it is to live without you.
The Canadian destroyer does it again.
They sure did. I've avoided Target all year.
My Target is more interested in drive up customers instead of in store customers. If I’m in store, I’m always buying more than what is on my list. Drive up customers are not. The store is hard to shop. Items scattered throughout instead of in their own department. Corporate has some work to do.
Keep up the boycott! It’s working!
Buncha FuckTargs! Lol
Once again disproving "Go woke, go broke" and affirming "Go fash, lose all your cash."
When did trump ever shop at target, but they have to bow to him. JFC
I’m ready to go back as soon as they realize who butters their bread
Lance Storm being one of the good ones (wrestlers, I mean) makes me happy. Probably no one else has ever done the "guy whose total lack of any sense of humor makes him hilarious" bit better.
The perfect straight man (comedy term, I mean). I’m sure he gets it, but he knows his square demeanor makes him hilarious.
Oh, I've heard him interviewed out of character several times, and he ABDOLUTELY gets it. He really was (to paraphrase his own words) a 40 year old man the day he was born, but he's also charming and witty as hell
FUCK TARGET
Shoutouts to Lance Storm though 🇨🇦
Lance Storm is always a real one. He'll forever be the WCW Canadian Champion in my heart.
I haven't shopped at target in 3 years. Them killing dei just affirmed they're a terrible company that acts like any other corporation- for the CEO and shareholders, not the consumers.
Hate is expensive. Deal with it, MAGA cowards.
Well said.
Switched my Target shopping to Costco in January . Appears that others have as well .
I got rid of my Target credit card and deleted their app off of my phone. I no longer shop there due to their DEI policy.
Lance has long been outspoken on social issues.
Wait, lance storm is cool? That's a thing that randomly brightens my day
He's still cool. He like one of the few guys from his era that come out the other side with his morales intact.
Know your customers. Target has cultivated a slightly higher end customer base for years even as they have alienated them. See also contracting CVS for pharmacy services.
the funniest part of this for me is this idiot getting his shit rocked by Lance Storm of all people.
I was not aware he was based.
He was so based that he left the other before that was a cool thing to do.
he is a very serious and very Canadian man, in a good way.
I had a Target credit card for 19 years that I cancelled.
Well stated!
Pile on. End them.
Everyone is dealing with the same Tariff BS, so that leaves one thing. If only they could find a fix for that....
DONE with that company.
this is amazing, thank you for sharing. Reminds me of back in COVID and we had limits on the number of people allowed in the grocery store at one time, there was a boomer couple who would get in line and walk into the store and take their masks off and not buy anything. Just looking for a fight.
