Yes, the targeting of Target is working BUT...

Target is using deceptive language to make Americans think it has their best interests at heart. But Target has not changed this dangerous policy

The boycott of Target stores led by those outraged that the retail chain encourages men who “identify” as women to use women’s restrooms is working—but victory is not yet complete.

Business Insider reports:

The boycott started in April after Target announced that it would welcome transgender customers to use any bathroom or fitting room that matched their gender identity.

The announcement triggered an immediate backlash. Critics said the policy opened the door for sexual predators to victimize women and children inside the retailer’s bathrooms, and more than 1.4 million people signed a pledge to stop shopping at Target unless it reversed the policy.

I don’t “boycott until they change.” I boycott until they are gone. It’s always how it works for me. But I don’t really boycott. I just decide that I don’t want to do business with a certain company. The ONLY thing that could change my mind is if the people responsible for making the offending decision ALL leave the company, and the policy is completely reversed.

Let the LGBTQQI shoppers keep Target afloat. Decent families who love their culture and their children will stay away permanently.

I used to purchase quite a bit of merchandise from Target but now NO MORE!

I also refuse to buy anything produced by Chobani Yogurt. I previously would purchase 10-15 Greek yogurt cups from them every week. Now NO MORE!

It’s all over for me and Tar-gay. I will endeavor to never visit a Tar-Gay store for the rest of my life. They spit on my Christian values so they could show off their “diversity”. If they prosper, if they fail, I just don’t care. I also took my money out of Wells fargo and I now patronize Chik-Fil-et. We Americans that hold traditional values need to speak out and support businesses that support our values or at least attempt to be neutral.

Last Sunday my son was all prepared to buy a 55 inch tv from Target due to their 10% off one day sale. I talked him out of it and so Costco got the $600 instead. Screw Target. But I imagine Costco is guilty of some political correctness too.

The boycott is clearly having an impact on sales, not driving them out of business, but they have clearly lost customers over it... its important that folks are reminded of this...

YOu don’t in the same day say, yes our sales are down, but our bathroom policy has nothing to do with it, oh and we are going to spend 20 Million to make sure every store has at least 1 single person bathroom.

It is far from complete - they’re still in business.

” But I imagine Costco is guilty of some political correctness too.”

No question, but Alynsky was correct to say you isolate ONE target and make an example of them. The others will catch on.

Right now Target is the target.

They never change anyway. Their goal is the destruction of the American republic. Companies like Target are the movement's suicide bombers.

Yeah, but they were a struggling company before the stupid CEO took over and he left them much worse off than he found them.

Indeed. Didn't those idiots ever take note of how much retail competition was out there? Customers can go to another retailer and never even miss Target.
