Target foot traffic falls for the eighth consecutive week after the retailer ended its DEI programs. Meanwhile at Costco, which kept its DEI programs, foot traffic has been up for 13th straight weeks.

It's hard -- no one place can replace Amazon. And it can be a pain to have to go a couple places looking for a particular product. Like I said, it turns out that when faced with that, I realized I didn't really "need" that thing after all, or I certainly didn't need it in two days.

I always thought of Target as one giant "impulse-buy” store. Can I get things I need there? Yes. Do I need to go there to get them? No. Walking away was incredibly easy, especially for suburban shoppers with many choices.

For sure, living in a suburb has made it easier. One of my friends lives in a more rural area and it's hard to give up Amazon simply bc of the delivery. For her, she said, "stores are far and gas is expensive."

This is a very important point. Unless you live in the most remote areas, its not that hard to not use it. Im im my 30s i rarely have an active prime subscription (regular delivery is like 3 days just wait) and only ever buy a few random things a year.

Yep, once you find new places to shop, it becomes a new habit. Everyone in sales knows it's way easier to keep existing customers than create new ones, but Target and Amazon have decided to create new ones for other businesses. They've both already lost hundreds in sales from me.

I don't want to say "GOOD" because the Target in our town does generate money for it. But if the company is going to turn its back on the inclusion and respect that helped build its reputation out of fear of what Donald Trump would do? I'll take any retailer over them in a heartbeat.

My problem with that is how they bowed under maga pressure and removed their LGBTQ merch, and then backpedalled when we boycotted, but then pulled their DEI. The only thing they learned is marketing strategy and even that they're doing poorly. This was the final strike for a lot of us not the first

Target can just go away. They lock up everything and it takes 20 minutes or more for an employee to maybe show up to let you take the $5 shampoo. I go to Costco about every two weeks and will continue to show support for them.

It just amazes me that Target was the company always pushing pride month ads and at least trying to be more lgbtq+ forward and was one of the first companies to bend the knee. It was beyond obvious who their customer base was. Target will not survive the decade.

With Trump trying to get rid of DEI, we can see all the incompetent white people promoted/hired solely because they're connected or sucked up to the boss (and white). They are kind of proving that the mission to get rid of DEI is just so white men don't have as much competition for jobs.

Glad I stocked up on the laundry detergent I can only get at Target before they kissed the ring. There are some things I can't get at HEB, but I'll be locating them elsewhere. Hoping to get a Costco membership soon. There's only one in my area, and it's a ways away, but I can make the jaunt.

It's almost like people don't like when companies treat people like shit on a grand scale. We all know that all companies treat employees poorly, that's just capitalism, but treating them as if their humanity doesn't exist, that's several steps too far.

Hi Target. My household stopped buying from you when you dropped DEI. It’s been a real PITA, because we used to shop at your store on the regular, but it’s worth knowing we are contributing to the boycott. We will not return until you reinstate your DEI programs.
