A CEO that doesn’t care about losing his customer base you say? Tell me more.

[Rebelbase]

IMO, that is the best offence to drive women mad who will then demand things return to normal.

I tried to return something that my daughter didn’t want and because I had washed it, they wouldn’t take it back. They said since it had been worn, they wouldn’t take it back. It wasn’t worn even once.

Nor would they take back electronics. You had to go through the manufacturers warranty.

There are plenty of other stores to shop at that have much better return policies.

“There’s a very large group out there that supports Target’s decision,”.

More than a dozen I guess.

Cancel your Target Red Card, if you’ve got one. It’s immediate, direct, and undeniable. Pass the idea along.

I got in a dispute with a local convenience store owner over returning a bottle of propane that wasn't functioning. He finally agreed to take it back, but told me never to do it again. I accommodated his request, totally.

I was spending about $2,000 a year in that store by my calculation. Now I spend maybe $200 a year, when I have to, for convenient gasoline. It's cost him maybe $10,000 to $15,000 in revenue from me.

Unnoticed, of course. I never said a word to him. I just stopped shopping there.

In the 80’s - early 90’s you had to jump through hoops and be treated like a thief to return something.

[who knows what evil?]

"There's a very large group out there that supports Target's decision," says crisis management expert Kevin Dinino, CEO of San Diego-based KCD PR.

Prove it. Perhaps you're a sodomite or tranny, Kevin..?

Target is making a mistake when they try to comfort themselves with the loss of “only” 1.2 million customers. That is nothing short of complete insanity. I did not sign the petition, and I will not walk into a Target store. Target should multiply the 1.2 million by an as of yet undetermined multiplier.

As a Conservative Senior and a consumer, I’ve got news for retailers,there are more than 3 age groups. Babies, toddlers and 20 year old’s.

When the clothing you put on your racks are cheap made in China rags and look like they belong on a street walker, I won’t shop your store. When you refuse to stock size 5M shoes, I have no reason to shop your store. Then lie to me and tell me that size is not made..well you can find them in Las Vegas, even at the airport shops. Nor do I want that Alfred Dunner brand. It is expensive and made for those who have a hard time dressing themselves.

And if I can’t safely use a dressing room or RR with out fear a confused gender person entering my space, I won’t shop your store. Thank you AMAZON, and your easy return policy. I can shop Salvation Army too.

Now if I need a part for the car there are plenty of stores that sell only car parts. Or a tool that I can get from Lowe’s.

And of course there are those who have not signed who are boycotting. They don’t want to put their names down, but they’ll be darned if they’ll shop there.

Got two of them right here.

Deconstionism? How do you pronounce that?

[PA Engineer]

Deconstionism?

Spelling error. Deconstructionism.
