Target CEO: OK fine, that transgender bathroom announcement was a huge screwup

Ya think?

Oh yes, many people beat up on Target for this bit of nonsense. Ourselves included. They deserved it, and they couldn’t deny it was happening. But they tried to insist at the time that it didn’t affect their business.

That seemed implausible at the time, and now even they aren’t trying to pretend any longer. You simply can’t announce a policy that is guaranteed to upset at least half your customer base, and then expect to suffer no conquences for it. So when Target brashly announced last summer that it would allow everyone to use the bathroom corrersponding to their “identity” (whatever that means), they were kidding themselves in thinking this would go well for them.

Too late. I haven’t gone to Target since. Now add United to the list.

If you don’t want to shop at Target, you can always slap on a wig and hang out in the women’s bathroom. Kind of sexist that you even have to put on a wig, though.

Starbucks is on my list too, so that makes 3.

American airlines ceo needs to get with target ceo in regards to customer relations.

[Mears]

I honestly don’t see what target has that walmart does not.....and probably cheaper.

Don’t piss-off the customer.

[QualityMan]

umm...that was united airlines, not American

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

Don’t you mean United Airlines not American?

[Guenevere]

I haven’t been to Target since.

I don't. My hair is already down to my beltline.

I’m aware of that, but you mentioned American Airlines.

The CEO is an idiot. All they do are sell underwear and other crap. This is all Target is. Target is not social change agents...the BS went to their heads. Thinking you’re more than a crap vendor. Now that you’ve destroyed your company I hope the stockholders sue the living sh*t out of you for malfeasance.

When Obozo & the queer brigade were in power it was 'up yours' to the customers - now realization is sinking in their choices weren't so fabulous after all.

Considering there are a million other outlets online that you can get the same stuff Target sells, it seems like this Target guy is just a Washington politico wannabe!

[V_TWIN]

Oops sorry about that. United. My bad all.
