Target CEO Brian Cornell said "guests' shopping behavior increasingly impacted by inflation, rising interest rates, and economic uncertainty" cut into sales.
Target (TGT) stock dropped more than 12% in early trading.
The Target department store chain has jumped into the transgender bathroom debate by declaring that men who claim to be women may use whatever bathroom or changing room they choose.“Inclusivity is a core belief at Target.
Now they can deal with the results.
Target has a policy against people identifying as thieves? How very unwoke.
Keep voting Democrat maybe you’ll get special protection from their policies.
I bet most of the increase in theft came from Soros DA jurisdictions.
Well, there’s part of the explanation for the ‘missing workers’...
And their customers are the ones that pay for it.
I am not a customer because I boycott Target because of their gay / trans agenda.
Enforce shoplifting with deadly force and this crap will slow dramatically.
I really like Black Lives Matter days, where all electronics are free.
In many jurisdictions shoplifting is not prosecuted by liberal DAs or there are high dollar limits for shoplifting that encourage this theft. I know one large grocery chain has to use banning known shoplifters from entering the store under trespass laws as the local jurisdictions won’t prosecute them for theft.

Well, that’s nice. If Target can pretend that men are woman, then it’s an easy jump to pretend that shoplifters are just borrowing items, and will later return them.
See, Target? It’s actually pretty simple. Take my advice and your shoplifting numbers will dramatically improve. Yes, you will have a borrowing problem. But, hey. I can’t solve everything at once.
How do they actually enforce this? Have bouncers with a video screen of offender pics at the entrance?
Target company officials ALLOW the theft. They are a huge company and could work getting law abiding politicians in office.
Walgreens tried to close a store in NYC recently but democrat party city officials told them if they did they would not be able to open any new locations in the city. The city gov’t politicians are ok with the theft and the assaults that happen in and around the store.
C’mon, these are just reparations.
C’mon, these are just reparations.
More democrat policies: “If they only steal less that 999.00’s worth, then we won’t prosecute”.
Democrats are encouraging this kind of behavior. They want chaos, crimes and civil disobedience. Its like they want a collapse of our society.
Gee. That’s a shame.
Wow, Winowa Ryder has been busy I see.
Go out of business......would warm my heart
