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.

You reap what you sow.
“What’s Target whining about? I’m sure all the freaks and queers shopping at Target will make up the difference in lost revenue from normal people shopping elsewhere...right?”
You mean they have not already?
Well White Mothers are so uncool, while the gay and urban crowd are cool and hip.
The Stupid CEO’s forgot you are in business to make money, not to be cool & popular. White Moms need stuff to and they generally have more money than the section 8 crowd (Bed, Bath and Beyond is about the most uncool store you can get and guess what, they are doing well & growing)
Unfortunately a lot of good people who worked at these stores are paying for their stupidity.
When the policy deterioration took place I couldn't say, but it was well after I left. I had noticed their quality dropping noticeably about 10 years ago. Dress shirts just didn't hold up like before, and their variety of merchandise shrunk drastically. Like you, I do find older JC Penney branded products occasionally in the second-hand market, and yes, the quality was markedly better then.
Perhaps their market weakness made them easy prey for the sodomites to exploit, I don't know. But they have gone homo all the way since. Disgusting.
It's sad because this brand was such a big part of my and my family's life for so long.
they’re all in the transgender bathroom flashing little girls.
Ain’t going in TARGET any more. They done JUMPED THE SHARK;
and then DOUBLED DOWN ON IT!!
Stopped shopping at Target when they banned the Salvation Army.
Now they’ve gone transgender bathrooms. Good reasons to go Walmart
And this is before any MAJOR incidents happen due to the insane policy
There have been a few that the MSM has tried to minimize,but sooner rather than later something drastic will happen
And Target’s Perverts will have egg all over them
“Target did not learn from JC Penny”
You aren’t kidding. JC Penney didn’t learn from Sodom & Gomorrah either.
Sales slid 7.2 percent, which the company said was fueled by several factors:
There seems to be some contradictory results, but little doubt that their sales have dropped since the bathroom controversy.
That would send sales plummeting even more, but these corporations headed by leftists will be slow to learn, and will deny as long as shareholders allow them to deny the obvious. We need to see a major firm fail and go into bankruptcy because of stupid, PC policies such as Target's. Then such firms would start to pay attention and change their PC, suck-up policies.
The Rise of the Stupid CEO.
I swear Corporate executives are bean count geeks with zero world experience.
Open all executives up to actual free competition or these losers will doom America to mediocrity.
"Come to Target; you and your daughters rape is on the house!"
"Come to Target; our public bathrooms are 'an adventure'!"
"Come to Target; we cater to perverts and pedophiles who would 'love' to get to 'know' you!"
"Come to Target; the store where you and your daughter can be 'discovered' and become 'voyeur pornography stars'!"
"Come to Target; 'free treats' and 'surprises' offered to little girls and ladies who visit our bathrooms on a daily basis."
"Come to Target; visit our ladies room, because you know you want it!"
Those perverts within the Target corporation who are directly responsible for establishing, implementing and continuing to promote and defend this wicked, perverse and evil Target bathroom policy should be fired immediately! And they along with the Target corporation should be sued by the families of every little girl and woman who have become a victim as a direct result of Target's perverse bathroom policy, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Target stock down 18%. When the stock loses 50%, then buy. Brian Cornell believes his customers are bigots, per Washington Times. He won’t respond to stockholders.
Sounds terminal.
the whole idea of turning your customers’ bathrooms into “unisexual, transsexual peep shows” is
SO DAMMMED ABSURD as to boggle the mind!
This is not only poor management, this is sheer insanity... and the manager(s) who came up with this lunatic idea should be committed to a mental asylum for HELP!
There are probably more queers, freaks and perverts, but they might not really consider them “customers” although they might increase the “same store foot traffic”.
Our Nearest Target is Monroe, Louisiana and we have not darkened their doors since they chose to put mentally ill perverts ahead of normal women and children. We won’t until they reverse their rest room policy and allow the Salvation Army bell ringers in front of their stores at Christmas.
LOL! DEFUND socialist collectives, foreign and domestic.
