You’re the one with the correct take. 84 is the peaky peak of TGT and things are not looking that great as to consumer spending, nor GDP growth.

“Boycotts are never effective...”

No, some are they just are not discussed - and should be. Refer to the Nike and BP boycotts.

You don't need to wait to pay it off to cancel the card.

You're still on the hook of course, but they will have one less active account, sir.

You could probably multiply that more by people like me who will never “sign up” on a website just to add me to the list of numbers.

I cannot think of any reason to ever go into a Target again. There is nothing that they sell that you cannot get somewhere else.

I hope Target ends up in bankruptcy. I think it is important for every other business owner to see a direct and immediate cause and effect relationship between Target’s pro-transvestite policies and going out of business.

Walmart may have the same policy,but they aren’t dumb enough to publically announce it.

The big box stores usually have lower prices. I can just about always find lower prices at Walmart, Home Depot, and Kroger. Thusly, I just don’t bother with Target. Target is just too expensive.

I shopped at Target. Won't shop there in the future.

Ever.

It'll never happen. I bought clothes for the grandkids at Penny - haven't been there in so long I don't remember the issue - just know that I'm not shopping at stores that throw their liberal positions in my face. I wouldn't shop at a store that demanded I read a verse from the Bible to get in either. I'm sick of liberal elite bullies.

Target is the store that cares more about the 'feelings' of 50 year old men than about 10 year old children. That's sick ... Target can go eff themselves... I will NEVER shop there again.

Don’t just boycott them. Cancel your Target Red Card. Make them feel it in a real and direct manner.

Good news indeed. Let the pervert supporting Target wackos support the perverts of America and the world. But God save America from them and their government cohorts, including the pervert in the White House.

Target has an agenda even if it means losing money.

(How’s that “Political Correctness” workin out for ya Target?)

Perversions in America must be stop or the nation dies under the judgement of almighty God and His Christ, our Lord and Saviour.

The left is completely gone over into paganism of the worst sort and has made America into Sodom and Gomorrah.

[I hope good people will realize the power of the boycott.]

Anyone know how to boycott the left so they close down once for all and for the safety and well being of all?

[liberals who champion the “rights” of mentally defective people.]

Liberalism is perversion and violence incarnate, a result of moral and then mental defection in thinking and judgment.

Which lasted all of about 15 minute. They learned their lesson and won't be pulling a stunt like that anytime soon.

Target appears to be a slow learner.

Exactly. They tried a big splash entry into Canada a few years ago and that is the conclusion most shoppers came to once they looked the new stores over. They started losing money from the get go and raised the white flag and withdrew after a couple of years. Here is what wiki says...

Target Canada was notoriously unsuccessful, with an overly-aggressive expansion initiative in addition to higher prices and lesser selection than Target stores in the United States.[2] It racked up losses of $2.1 billion in its lifespan, and was characterized by the Canadian and U.S. media as a "spectacular failure",[3] "an unmitigated disaster",[4][5] and "a gold standard case study in what retailers should not do when they enter a new market."[6] Target Canada filed for bankruptcy in January 2015, and closed all of its stores by April 12

I think the same geniuses are still running the company.

If you chart Walmart stock price relative to Target, it has almost exactly the same rises and falls. Either this decline is part of the normal fluctuations of retail stock valuations or people are also boycotting Walmart for some reason.
