So will Target stop selling products made in China where gay marriage is prohibited? No they will just lecture Americans about their outdated morality.

Fine. You’ve made your choice and I’ve made mine. Mine won’t cost me nearly as much as yours will cost you - and I sleep like a baby.

Hey Target, my friend bought one of your leftover products that turned out to be junk and your store did nothing.

So guess what? You get boycotted most of the time. You’ve already lost hundreds if not thousands of dollars in business.

Multiply that now by more. We’ll look at your once-occupied buildings. There will be no tears.

Must have your golden parachute ready, huh?

Brian Cornell can do whatever he wants - it’s a free country.

But it’s not free without consequences... as Brian will learn.

Maybe they expect Walmart to follow suit which would leave people without an alternative that isn't doing the same perverse thing.

I’m sorry, threat? I stopped shopping there. There was no threat involved. I don’t darken their door with my horrific viewpoints.

If the boycotters return when Target caves, there will be other leftist CEOs who will take the leap again. Target has to be brought to its knees. Once they relent, the AFA needs to make it known that the board will have to be restructured and this CEO replaced before the boycott is stopped. If there is no demonstration of the power of normal Americans, other companies will push the envelope, knowing that there will be less strength in their opponents for another fight. The extremists will not stop advancing until their allies in business realize the full power of the opposition.

Just replaced my outdated Apple iPhone with a nice Samsung smartphone. That’s because Tim Johnson is an aggressive homosexual who bullies companies and states with his agenda. We do not support the ungodly with our hard earned money...with the exception of the federal government that can kill /patriots whom they consider troublemakers.

I’ll never go into another target, nor buy from them on line. Done. Forever. I won’t miss them one bit.

Target to pay $4 million fine for inaccurate pricing

Bay City News
Tuesday, February 10, 2015
Target Corp. has agreed to pay nearly $4 million to settle a civil complaint filed in Marin County alleging the national retailer charged customers more than the advertised price for its merchandise.

The district attorneys of Marin, Contra Costa, Fresno, Santa Cruz and Sonoma counties and the San Diego City Attorney’s Office filed the complaint. The judgment was signed Monday by Marin County Superior Court Judge Paul Haakenson.

The complaint alleged that since early December 2008, Target unlawfully charged consumers prices higher than its lowest advertised price, misrepresented the weight of Target-brand products, sold commodities by gross weight and sold commodities in less quantities than represented, Marin County prosecutors said.

Walmart lost 5% during that period, Target lost 10%. I don’t know how much of that would be boycott, since it would take investors pricing in the assumed loss for the boycott, but I’m guessing probably 2% of the 10% loss is coming from that.

We’ll see in another 6 months how much of an effect it had.

Another rabid liberal without a brain. I will never shop there again, even if I have to pay more. Moral of the story: Shut up and go back in your room, leave us alone, humble yourself, and read the Bible.
