NEW YORK (AP) — Target Corp. cut its profit forecast and a key sales outlook Wednesday as it saw fewer customers in its stores and acknowledged it didn't push the second part of its "Expect More, Pay Less" slogan.
The Minneapolis-based discounter's second-quarter net income fell nearly 10 percent, though that was better than what most had expected. Sales at stores open at least a year fell 1.1 percent, reversing seven straight quarters of gains. Its main competitor, Wal-Mart Stores Inc., reports results Thursday.
Target's shares fell $4.74, or 6 percent, to $70.74 in afternoon trading.

not a chance we’d ever go back to Target until at least they stop encouraging or letting dirty of men into the little girls’ rooms
This past weekend I moved my daughter back to college. As is always the case she needed some household items.
There is no place on earth I hate going more than Walmart. And yet I drove 4 miles past the Target to get to the nearest Walmart.
Word is out - Target is not safe for women and children.
They went from being on target with goods and prices to target on your back in the restrooms and fitting rooms.
As long as Target wants to be a platform and general butt kisser for liberals and sexual freaks they are not getting a penny from me.
No they didn’t learn. I haven’t been to a Target in years, many years. Won’t be going to one soon either.
Boycott works...
While everyone ignores the elephant in the room...
FIRE YOUR CEO for her stupid Trangender bathroom policy
I used their Optical for years. My eye doctor moved OUT of rented Target space due to this issue. I can buy the glasses on line, but I recommend him to everyone now for exams, due to his moral courage.
Hey Target, just make all the bathrooms transgender.
I won’t spend a dime there either.
Maybe if Target charged admission for the bathrooms - get people paying to see the freak show?
Ungrateful transvestites.
Stores open at least a year only fell 1.1%, but net income was down 10%???
Me thinks someone is cooking some books, or they took some rediculous one time charges this quarter.
I know they lost me for good as a customer with their insane bathroom policy... I know I am not the only one... But hard to believe sales only down 1.1% from that.... They aren’t admitting any impact of their policy... So just have to make doubly sure even fewer shop there next quarter
A fancier Wal-Mart for trophy wives.
But that's pretty negative since every large business usually plans for 2% to 3% growth most every quarter. And they want continuous growth over the long run.
Not extending the ‘Bush tax cuts’ for the ‘rich’ taking it’s toll...
Not to mention Republicans went along with it...should have been all or nothing to the Democrat’s economic regressive-progressive tax agenda.
I have not set foot in a Target from the day I made a special trip to tell the young woman who our local Target store manager that I would not set foot in there or any other Target, until their ridiculous bathroom policy was thrown out. I don’t buy there any more, not a stick of gum, and no longer buy anything from them online. Their email offers come to my inbox and I sent them to spam. Their insane policy bathroom policy will likely be their death knell.
