Easiest. Boycott. Ever.

Target sells cheaply manufactured goods at high prices. I haven't shopped there in years already for that reason.

I like to go there to buy thermos. They have a clearance section that sells them for like $5. Big good ones too.

Oh and their cheap $1 aisle that sells seasonal stuff. I like going there for Christmas time and buying cheap Christmas decorations for the workplace lol.

Please stop with the time bound protests. You're telling the companies to just wait you out. 🤦‍♀️

Yes, stop protesting if you aren't willing to protest the right way. There are no steps to be taken in the right direction, you're either perfect or worthless.

Why do we hate Target again? No really I'm out of the loop and I'm not reading an article written by a company owned by the Far Right

Rolled back DEI initiatives, also caved to conservative pressure about the tuck friendly swimsuit thing and whatever else they were outraged about.

Ah, good reasons

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

well that's easy, I haven't shopped there in years. They're inconvenient, overpriced, low quality, rarely have what I'm looking for. Why would I shop there?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Good. Fuck em.

I don't shop at Target because their stores smell weird and it's a sensory issue.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Shut Target down! NEVER shopping there again!

I wish I was working for target so I can take a nap at work.
