you’ve GOT to be kidding! (that CAN”T be a real ad photo, can it?!)

my Lord!

I’m so glad now that we cut up our Target credit card and have not gone back there

[faithhopecharity]

i mean, even if Target wanted to go after the homosexual market (do guys buy special vacuum cleaners if they’re homosexual? wouldn’t a regular vacuum ad work for them like it works for everyone else?)

even if Target thought it had something special to sell to the homosexuals (>?)... THAT ugly picture would probably repel most homosexuals.... while certainly nearly repelling everyone else

Target needs a new ad agency! (and a new management, of course)

[Veracious Poet]

Wow...that's right up the ol' kazoo, right up there with Chipotle's execs!

Hopefully both corp.ses aren't long for this world...

NOPE, not a joke. Their expansion of their wedding registry program to reel in that one-half (if that...) of 1.6% demographic while giving the finger to the other 99% of their customers. Idiots.

 

 

[faithhopecharity]

i am no expert but i think those models in that picture would turn off most homosexuals too

well, we don’t shop there anymore

thanks

Be interesting to see how Target deals with the problem. Buckling before a conservative boycott isn’t going to play well in the Media or with probably 35% of their customers (the other side). The way I see it, they’re messed up either way.

[Veracious Poet]

Well, my wife & I were Loyal Target customers for 40 years, but we cut-up our credit cards last week & will instruct like-minded family to do the same.

Screw Target, Chipotle, or any other militant corp. promoting ant-American/anti-Family agendas!

P.S. Target is already closing "underperforming" stores, this misstep could be the last nail...

Need a little background on Target’s management? Well here it is..........

Target Corp. on Tuesday said Chief Executive Brian Cornell’s pay package amounted to $28.2 million last year, with a make-whole package he received as an incentive to leave his former post representing the bulk of his compensation.
On August 12, 2014, Cornell replaced Gregg Steinhafel as the Chairman and CEO of Target.[6] Cornell’s leadership style is at once data-driven and hands-on.[3] During his tenure, Cornell has shut down the loss-incurring Canadian presence known as Target Canada (formerly owned by Zellers).[3]

>>>Cornell has hired many outsiders to update the corporate culture.[3] Cornell occasionally visits Target stores and asks customers specific questions about their shopping experiences.[3]

Outsiders..... straight or FAGS? Go figure.

Sounds like another JC Penney-esque incident in the making.

Seeking Alpha, like so many ConservaBlogs, are lying when they claim Target stock has "plunged" because of the policy. WalMart -- which has refused to support or join Target's bathroom policy -- saw its stock fall by a nearly identical percentage over the past 5 days, while the overall market also fell.

PROOF below...Target is green, Walmart in red

I gave up Starbucks when the CEO said he didn’t want my business. Fortunately, there are two locally owned coffee shops in the same block with better coffee and superior service. I now wonder why I ever went there.

[familyop]

Target downsizing to fit the political class in advance.

[Hojczyk]

I pretty much quit Target way back when they would not let the Salvation Army there for Christmas

I have never seen the Girl Scouts at Target

WalMart lets everybody High Schools sports teams are there all the time

I would loooooooooooooove to see the Target stock sink.

Angie’s List too.

[liberalh8ter]

That's encouraging..thanks for your input!

[Ransomed]

It’s encouraging, but I don’t understand why Trump said what he said about it. This stuff isn’t that hard, or at least I thought it wasn’t that hard. Why did he say Bruce Jenner could use any bathroom he wanted to in his buildings? He doesn’t know if his women customers care or not?

We dropped Target nearly a year ago when they first announced their new policy of displaying kid’s toys in a gender-neutral way. Too weird for us. Doubt that Target misses us much; we only spent $300 - $500 / year there. But if a million families, each spending that amount, drop Target, I expect the boardroom will feel it. We can hope they will, anyway.
