Of course Target CEO Brian Cornell would not admit his wrongheadedness, so instead the chain will spend $$$ money to install single-occupancy bathrooms, as if that solves their PR problem. Talk about not understanding the customers' ire in the first place, this move will only hurt the company, its employees and the shareholders themselves.
Maybe they should offer chaperones for little girls going into the wild-west bathrooms.
Tough luck Target. NO sale
How about starting by firing the arrogant woman who implemented this massive outrage in the first place - along with the CEO who backed her up?
Target can pound sand.
Just die, Target.
It occurs to me that their customer base is the fundamental "problem" for their SJW CEO. Affluent Overeducated Progressive Bobos don't shop at Target.
Maybe Whole Foods could implement this policy, but not Target or Walmart.
Until then, POUND SAND.
I stopped going there when this started. No need to go back. I've already gotten used to the alternatives.
Great.
I’ll shop Sunday instead of tonight!
I do not normally shop at Target but on occasions will if it is convenient and near. Today I will not shop at Target under any circumstances.
I am male, but what should I do if I am feeling female while in Target but with lesbian feelings also. The logic of such is that as a male I could go into the females bathroom and hit on females because I am feeling lesbian that afternoon. At least they could not accuse me of sexism as I was a female at that moment. They could probably get me on depravity but that is a protected class of liberalism so not to worry.
In reality when I take my beloved grand daughter out shopping and she needs the restroom I am immediately outside the door. She has instructions to come back outside if she sees anything odd in the restroom. If someone looks like a guy wants to go inside, he will not pass. Do not mess with a grand dads grand daughter. We have no sense of humor and many of us are armed and our sense of humor is rather limited.
Political correctness is not insane, it is evil by design!
The leftists.
Theirs don't.
When a fraction of a <1% self identified grievance group boycotts who can tell???
Keep up the pressure. They still haven’t learned their lesson.
10% for one day is nothing. My wife went to Target multiple times a week. When this started we stopped. Period.
Eventually leftist business will be as successful as liberal talk radio.
That’s what they should have done in the first place for their queer customers, install single use for them.
It’s in the nature of a left wing business to fail. They appeal to a fraction of customers and are intolerant of the rest.
I do not understand why companies pick sides in these culture wars. How can pissing off a portion of your customer base be a good thing from a business perspective? As a shareholder, I’d be furious with the fools running these companies.

"Come back to Target where your daughters and wives get raped for free!"
"Come back to Target: where your daughters and wives can be "discovered" as the next great voyeur port stars!"
"Come back to Target: Free transvestite and sexual deviants bathroom floor shows held daily!"
"Come back to Target: Experience the thrills and chills of being sexual stalked and potentially attacked and raped free of charge!" "Who knows; you or your daughters might like it, you never know until you try it!"
"Come back to Target: We will be watching and waiting for you with baited breath!" (Voice over done to the sound of heavy breathing/panting in the background)
That is all I could come up with at such short notice. Slogan suggestions wanted:
Imaginitive and creative Freepers please help Target come up with a winning slogan that will help put Target back on the map and get shoppers back into their stores by highlighting ALL THAT TARGET NOW HAS TO OFFER ;o)
This may say more than any poll about the election. This situation was caused by Target’s bathroom policy, maybe the straw that broke the camel’s back in how far the social envelope can be pushed. The Target non-shoppers have caused a major firm to cry “uncle”. Think these bathroom boycotters are going to voting for liberal Hillary?
“Target’s same-store transactions, which is how traffic is measured, fell 2.2% in the second quarter. Overall, sales fell 7.2% to $16.2 billion”
What??? Not enough new LGBTQABCXYZ freaks shopping at Target to make up for the millions of regular people who fled to shopping environs consistent with the lifestyles of normal people? Hard to believe.
