I am one who stopped buying at Target except when I need tracfone data or text cards. Target is only location that sells them. My weekly visits are down to once every 90 days.

What DOESN’T Soros have big investments in? He’s a skillionaire.

“...facing a boycott...”? Where the hell has this guy been? The idiots at the Clown News Network really need to try and get out more.

Can’t be done.
Target has 1,793 stores in the US. $20 million won’t get you there.

$10,000 can still buy a fair amount of plumbing.

I think the Big Famous Boycott accounted for what, 1% of the population of the USA?

Might get drawings and permits. At least a $30k retrofit at each store.

I’m very curious about the number of people who thump their chest in public about never ever going in Target — and then either they hardly ever went before, or they go anyhow the first time it puts something they want on sale
.........................................................

I was a frequent Target customer and chest thumper. Haven’t been in since all this garbage began. That took about about 30 minutes.

Next theory?

Don’t know how they stay open in my town! There are never shoppers. Never more than 2 check out lines. Overpriced, but usually cuter stuff than Wal-Mart, but just can’t. Can’t.

Target (TGT) CFO Cathy Smith said Wednesday that the company has heard objections to the transgender bathroom policy from some customers, though she said other customers had voiced support. In response, Target has decided to expand its use of a third, single-toilet bathroom at all of its stores, which can be locked by users.

Won't work. For trannies it's not about having privacy when you need to use the bathroom. It's about forcing others to validate them. Nothing less than there being one bathroom for all women, themselves included (in their minds) will be acceptable. This will be viewed as a slap in the face, you watch.

You’re right about Soros. Too bad only the good die young. Looks like his son is following in the old man’s footsteps.

I guess I have to admit that Pokémon Go did kind of screw the whole thing up. I’m still doing my own personal boycott and that’s all that matters to me.

Yes. It’s like about half our side can’t get their heads around the fact that the people hollering the loudest don’t want a third option. And the heck of it is the actual folks who are really afflicted with this illness didn’t start this crap. It’s lib statists who only want top punish those who they know can’t agree.

Oh yeah. Target richly deserves to get flushed. Never again will Laysha get to tell my family who will go to the bathroom with us. Another affirmative action hire that costs a company millions…what a country!

yup. All you need as evidence is civil unions. They gave the gays everything they said the wanted. They had all the legal benefits of marriage. They had overwhelming public support. They had won.

But it wasn't good enough. It was still "other" and that would not do. Nothing less than total upending of thousands of years of a fundamental institution of civilization would ever be good enough, no matter what they said along the way. They lie about their goals as they seize incremental ones, but there's always another, a further step to take, a further demand to be made.

I guarantee that the trannies won't use a third bathroom. They will insist on using the ladies room. And so that single stall private bathroom is really being installed for the "bigots" (i.e regular women who aren't comfortable sharing a bathroom with men) to use.

You can buy text/data online at Tracfone - I did this for the first time this spring when I changed to a Tracfone android. It was a smooth transaction - went great & within 30 seconds, I had the notification the texts were added.

I’d rather make them go bankrupt.

Screw the pressure. They’re dead to me.

The pressure of going out of business is the BEST statement to make to other companies.

I haven’t been in a Target since they adopted their idiot policy. Guess what? I don’t miss it, I’ve found other shopping venues. I won’t be going back. If I was considering it, we’ll this latest foolishness would put me of again. All they are doing is pandering to an extremely small and disturbed segment of the population. Not a good use of resources. Not a good policy. Perhaps the worst aspect is that it sets a bad example for other fringe groups and for other retailers.
