Target’s stock had been dented since the American Family Association’s boycott began amassing signatures in the millions, but we obviously had no way of knowing if people were actually boycotting the store.

Wal-Mart for trophy wives and effete poodle-carrying metrosexual men.

Panic because they cannot un-do this decision without triggering the Mother of All Hissy-Fits from the usual suspects.

What did they expect?
Allow pedophiles and perverts in the restroom and nobody will go there.
My wife stopped shopping at target the day after they announced their perverted policy.

Target reported a lower-than-expected increase


Let’s remember that a drop in increase of sales is not a drop in sales, lest we be channeling Robert Reich.

The “bathroom wars” may well prove to the the “bridge too far” and the high-water mark for the PC movement. After Trump is sworn in we can expect common sense to become fashionable again.

And, we should compare this to others in that segment, like Walmart and K-Mart etc.

Be careful, because in the bible it says (paraphrased) do not gloat when your enemy falls, lest the Lord hear and reverse their misfortune.

I just learned on the internet that TJMaxx and Marshalls are now allowing men in any bathroom or changing room they want to go into.

I called my local store. The manage had no idea but she called corporate headquarters to confirm.

If you own TJX or TGT stock - SELL!!!

I’m not a boycott kind of guy, but I’m not going back. Too many other options.

Target stock currently down 7.15% ~ Good luck with your decision Target! The “target” appears to be on your bottom line!

Target uses very divisive political and social issues for cheap marketing and branding.

Its a very dangerous game. They got away with the crony-capitalist-plays-hip progressive-game for years, so felt quite emboldened - but now the SHTF for them.

It is totally deserved.

This just in:

“I feel like the whole bathroom thing should be looked at like concealed carry. I don’t really care what you’re packin’ as long as you don’t whip it out and point it at me!”

Can we? Is your statement based on what Trump says or what he does?

The title is kind of over the top

TGT is down 7% today and the stock has had a heck of a lot better performance this year than Macy’s or Kohls.

Dollar General in my area has shut-down ALL customer restrooms. Apparently they do not want to be dragged into this controversy.

The first rule of business; don’t give the public what you think they SHOULD want.

The Target CEO would have been much better off to say nothing and let us think he is stupid instead of speaking up and removing all doubt.

They won;’t have the guts to roll back their insane desision.

Watch for a massively expensive emergency store remodeling to provide unisex single person restrooms and fitting rooms.

It’s the only way they can shut down the complaints without alienating the libtards.
