JUSTICE: Look What Happened to Target CEO Right After He Defended Pedophile Bathrooms
conservativetribune.com ^ | May 13, 2016 | Kristen Campbell

Posted on 05/16/2016 6:43:06 PM PDT by Morgana

In an attempt to calm the anger of the more than 1.2 million consumers who have pledged to boycott the store, the CEO announced the store’s plans to implement family bathrooms in all of its stores for people who may not feel comfortable in the traditional stall-by-stall bathrooms.

“We’re committed over the next few months to make sure every one of our stores has that option, because we want to make sure that our guests be welcomed in our stores,” he explained. “But if there’s a question of safety, I can tell you and others, our focus on safety is unwavering, and we want to make sure we provide a welcoming environment for all our guests, one that’s safe, one that’s comfortable.”

However, Cornell did not mention any plans to return to single-sex changing rooms, which is one of the major reasons families have strayed away from the company.

No one wants to send their 13-year-old daughter in to try on clothes in a changing room where a man who claims he is a woman is waiting to take advantage of the situation.

But Target can’t easily add family changing rooms, as it would take up valuable space in their stores, and it can’t go back to single-sex changing rooms without angering the progressives who pushed for this new policy in the first place.

Cornell said the company has faced “tough feedback” — which may be the understatement of the year so far.

What a dumb a!! CEO, his first responsibility should be the shareholders and customers, not a personal vendetta against straight people.

He should be arrested right after he is fired.

Parents have already let the pedophiles and perverts grope and paw their kids at the airports. I doubt anyone will speak up over a few bathroom molestors. The sheeple were trained well.

I was an avid Target shopper, as much as I HATE Walmart, I have been going VERY EARLY in the AM and have found the prices much better and going VERY EARLY I am not dealing with the usual horrible clientele that doesn’t get up till noon or after!!! Walmart has been quite nice at 6 or 7 am!!! My whole has changed over the last year and mostly for the better!!! Amazon is my latest boycott but OH WELL life will still go on!!! Amazon is the toughest but I WILL PREVAIL, our nation is at stake and when I look back at what the greatest generation endured through the depression and world war II what WE have to sacrifice is SO MINIMAL!!!!!

I’ve probably been to Target 10 times in my life.....I haven’t lost a thing there and wouldn’t go back anyway and I sure as hell won’t go now.

I always hated shopping growing up, and this adds to one more reason why my GF or Mother would have to drag me in order to shop at a clothing store.

Stock price isn’t going to change anything... You have to hit them where it matters, revenue.... The policy was announced just 2 weeks before the last quarter ended, so unlikely you will see anything in the quarterly call this month...

IF in august Target is down significantly compared to the rest of the sector, then there can be no denying what was the cause.

Stock ups and downs won’t change anything, you have to hit revenue... big time revenue hit that is majorly outside the rest of the industry.

All the comparative retailers have been down about the same percentage. It will take at least a couple of quarters for any noticeable numbers due to the boycott.

This is the reason the statists hate free enterprise, we can choose to ignore their dictates.

Let Target fall into ruin. They decided to have their Waterloo against the very customers that have kept them alive for years to appease the .02 - .03 % for what they thought would score them political points. Any CEO who would dig in his heels on so etching so insane is making a very public statement to me about his personal preferences. His wife might want to hire a private investigator to tail him for a few days because I have this feeling she’ll find out more than she ever wanted to know...

Won’t know about sales until Augusts earning report.. next report is this month and only covers 2 weeks where the policy was in place.... TGT doesn’t have to publicly say anything until its next earnings report in August.... You want to have impact, TGT must have revenues drop well beyond the rest of the sector.

I hope so

Folks are making claims here now about TGT demise that are simply quite exaggerated

I’ve found out in the world people are ambivalent

They don’t like the govt involvement either way

Most folks I talk to wonder why could both sides how it was which appeared to have worked a long time?

My wife and I are boycotting

Wal Mart has always suited me

Wifey is a bit more uppity

He thought these fags and deviants were mainstream and that he’d be applauded by the public. Just another elitist liberal living totally disconnected from reality.

Target has lost me as a customer forever. I hold a wicked grudge. Target can KMA.

I liked Target as well. In our area it is far better than Walmart. I feel a tad bit like Lot’s wife when I head to Walmart-I’m missing Target. Maybe I should try earlier hours at Walmart. The clientele isn’t pleasant and the service is pretty poor during the day.

I make a point of not going into Target for anything. Sort of like Starbucks.I did go into Target when one first opened here and made the ‘never again’ vow at that point. I have never seen the inside of a Starbucks and won’t.

I’m agreeing with you Judy. I was in a Target one time in my life. Found it to be the worst store ever. Nothing worth buying, vastly overpriced, boring. I left with nothing and never went back. Never have understood why anyone would shop there.

WM won’t make statements but won’t “integrate” its benjos, either.
