Target's Transgender-Friendly Bathroon Policy Is Costing It $20 Million
Target ^ | August 17, 2016 | Phil Wahba

Target TGT -6.02% is spending millions to add private single-stall locking bathrooms at many of its stores as it looks to reverse a drop in shopper traffic, some of which may have been caused by the retailer’s transgender-friendly bathroom policy.

people would have to be stark raving crazy to shop at Target while it maintains its pro-rape and child-abuse-enabling policy

Keep the pressure on. They need to be made an example of.

The $20 mil is just the money they’re spending on the bathrooms, doesn’t mention the tens of millions lost in sales.

Target is a buy at 49.00/sh. ;) Currently trading at $70.00/sh. 3.38% div/yield. Not bad.

“retailer will add them to more locations by November, and then again after the holiday season, which it doesn’t want to disrupt with repairs, and be done by March.”


It’s only August,for heaven’s sake.

Ditto, they can drop dead as far as I’m concerned.

Yeah. Well.

TGT has annual income of $74 BILLION and earns a net profit of nearly $5 billion each year. $20 million is literally nothing.

TGT has financial problems before this stupid move on bathrooms and it’s not helping any, but the other factors are what is depressing the stock price, just look at their 2 year stock price history.

They should put in the single-stall bathrooms, everyone should in fact, and that would be the end of this nonsense. Most multi-stall restrooms are over half wasted space, so it would be cheaper in the long run.

It used to be two restrooms, Man-woman, with maybe five stalls each. Now it is TEN restrooms with one stool each.

As someone on FR mentioned, Obama is just keeping the Carpenter’s and Plumbers unions working!

I don't know about anyone else, but when this Target crap came out, a lot of here in the town decided: “Buy Local by people that have their own business”...now I know you can't do that on everything, but we have a ‘farmers market’ where locals sell their own grown veggies; we have a lot of different places we can go to get like kitchen towels that we hang on the oven rack, even bath towels, they gladly put your name on them for free, and they charge less for the towels that you pay for in the ‘corporate stores’...

I have a quilting business, and I'm always busy, word of mouth and during the holiday season I hire a few ladies that love to quilt and split the proceeds for their time...

This is how we debunk these corporations that want to get federal money, and they do some how or other, and Target is really feeling the problems now, mainly because we in our town have let it be known WHY we won't shop Target!!!

It looks like the transgender demographic is not a big as they thought it was, not to mention how many non-transgendered who were so offended by this policy they stopped shopping there.

I stopped shopping at that place when they kicked out the Salvation Army. Haven’t spent a dome there since.

Not to mention giving away all of those customers’ credit card numbers.
