TARGET Target announced a $10 million commitment in an effort to advance social justice through supporting partners like the National Urban League and the African American Leadership Forum.

If Target hired a lot of those folks, wonder how much of the "shrink" is inside jobs?

You know it is bad when Target comes out ans says it is do to theft. They usually use weasel words, like “under-performing stores” or “to focus on our better performing stores” when they close stores in these areas.

Not sure this is a “race” thing...the Seattle & Portland stores (except one) don,’t seem to be in certain communities. I think they are feeling the outrage from people over their stupid groomer policies.
