Target's weak store sales and its expectations for this quarter, released Wednesday, pushed shares down 9 percent in morning trading. Shares of almost every retailer followed suit in what is shaping up to be a miserable year ... Shares of J.C. Penney, Kohl's, Macy's and Nordstrom fell as well. Shares of Wal-Mart, which reports earnings on Thursday, fell almost 4 percent

“it’s the employees that get hurt. ‘
The retail market will still be there.
If target closes the Kohl’s, Wal-Mart and K-Mart will all need people.
I am just glad that Guam has a K-Mart rather than a Target
So? Federal, state and local governments imposing their will on the people which causes jobs to be curtailed or lost. See North Carolina. A lot of innocent people working the venues that musicians have decided to back out of are the silent losers in that struggle.
To prevent duplication, please do not alter the published headline, thx.
It’s bad! When I drive by a Target all I can think is I hope no one is being raped in the ladies room right now. Not a good look Target (the ladies rooms.)
The good rank-and-file can move to other discounters. In fact, if they have any sense of morality, they are submitting applications as I type
Let the BOD and executives go down (no pun intended)
Along with the PR firm and law firm that gave its blessing
I know a couple of people, including myself, who are not going to Target.
TJMaxx is hard to boycott. But I’m trying.
My local Target is suffering from empty parking lot syndrome. And, yes, I feel bad for the hourly employees who may lose their jobs.
However, half of the checkout people at my local Target won’t ring up my groceries because I love bacon.
They have really dug themselves a hole by catering to gays, perverts, muslims and anybody that hates Christmas and Christians.
“The CEO and other mucky-mucks just move off to another company and start destroying it.”
They are emulating School Superintendents, in their “quest” to become the largest migrant workforce in the country. But the school “administrators” have a leg up because when they’re are sent packing (really just moving on to the next hapless school district) the taxpayers bankroll their “contract buyouts.”
The news a week or two ago from the satellite company that measures parking lot utilization was that Target business began falling off with the bathroom policy and Wal-Mart’s was picking up. That’s a believable metric, although qualitative more than quantitative, and does not require waiting several quarters before seeing the fallout of Target’s policy.
Good. Maybe we’re turning the corner.
Target claims are down because of climate change. Not joking.
they might not survive it. maybe take a few years but i will NEVER buy there again. not even gum.
“However, half of the checkout people at my local Target won’t ring up my groceries because I love bacon.”
Sounds like an opportunity to load up carts with frozen goods and then walk off in a huff when they won’t check you out. Enough repeats will contribute to the disruption caused by the boycott.
Tone deaf CEO
“However, half of the checkout people at my local Target won’t ring up my groceries because I love bacon.”
That is unconscionable. I’m putting Target on double secret boycott.
Not kidding, either. I am grievously offended by this state of affairs.
But the suits in Minneapolis don't give a crap...they're in the top 1%, you see....don't give a damn about the customers or the employees.
Walmart have their own problems with empty shelves, which in the past weeks is due to former Target Customers shopping at Walmart.
I like to ask this question in a loud voice in a Walmart checkout line, “How many of you used to shop at Target before the bathroom wars?”
Every time, I ask that question, at least one person in hearing range raises their hands. Yesterday, three people raised their hands.
I plan on shredding my red card, putting it in a plastic baggie and going to customer service to ask them to dispose of it..I won’t be needing it anymore.
“It still sucks the rank and file pay for the top level managements screw-ups.”
You realize of course, that you just described the way life works! “The Generals” never die for their mistakes, the grunts do. Nor do some of the worthless men we allowed ourselves to believe were honest men when we elected them as our Presidents. When, in retrospect, I come to grips with what GW Bush got us into and all the money he pi$$ed away and all dead young people buried because of his folly, it makes me want to cry that I ever gave him my vote!
