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.

So Target is spending 20 million dollars on an issue that didn’t affect them? Okay.
Well this was announced today to... So even though TGT won’t admit the boycott had any Bearing on its fall in earnings, it’s pretty obvious that it has...

Now it will be funny to watch as these same mentally ill folks they decided to pander to start using these single stalls for hook ups...
Some folks never learn
Same. I had a gift card left over, which I used to purchase a gift card to another vendor (restaurant IIRC). I know they make next to nothing on these - and haven’t been there since. Brother did the same thing.
GayC Pansy is a dead man walking. It was almost sad the last time I walked through one (on the way to the main mall) - virtually a ghost town.
I’ve always disliked targey but now I have two grand daughters and I will never take them to a targey!
Not good enough for me, because the same people who made that decision are still in their seats, waiting to insult us again.
Target would have to fire their current CEO and do some drastic policy change across the board before I'd ever think of darkening their doors again. (Basically, they'd have to become another Hobby Lobby.)
Sales are down at the Target Peep Show
I wanna get a tee shirt that says;
“Target! I’m just here to use the Ladies Room!”
Doing that this w/e. But we go to BBnB for most stuff.
“This past weekend I moved my daughter back to college. “
Wow,early.
My grandkids aren’t going until this weekend and next weekend.

What is sad about that is JC Penny did have good quality merchandise. May not have been top of the line but mother’s got their money’s worth and things lasted a good long time. Even now I find stuff at thrift stores made from Penny’s years ago and even though they made be dated they still have life left in them. Does not matter if it was clothing, housewares, or linens. By far JC Penny was a much better store than Target. Why they did something that stupid I’ll never understand. Shows they did not know who their target (no pun intended) market was.
Smooth move, pandering to < 2% of the population. Probably figured they would be embraced by liberal love. I stopped shopping at Target years ago.
Boycotts can work. Beat Target into surrender!

Just to be mean, Wal-Mart should sell them.
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?
Ungrateful transvestites.

Toilets, Target. There’s the problem, and when folks complained, you doubled-down. Better to be right and out of business?? Cutting off nose/ spite face.
Oh no.
