A number of conservative groups started an anti-Target protest in the wake of the chain’s April 19 statement that transgender customers in its North Carolina stores could use restrooms and fitting rooms of the gender they identify with.
“We observed a noticeable fall off in traffic at Target during the last week in April and a meaningful pickup at Walmart during that same time,” said Richard Chmiel, chief executive of RS Metrics, which uses satellites to monitor thousands of retail parking lots across the country in order to identify changing business trends.
“We suspect the bathroom boycott which was gaining momentum at that time contributed to the shift,” Chmiel said.

Its astonishing that the stubborn leftists running Target choose to trash the shareholders.
I wonder when the shareholder suits will begin.
Their stock price is down,costing shareholders billions.Sales are now confirmed to be down.The people that thought this bathroom policy was a good idea are going to get the axe and soon.The next stockholder’s meeting will resemble an insurrection.
I wonder if they're also noticing empty parking lots in front of all the stores going out of business since Obama took over. But that's a different matter. Boycott Target and other stupidly run businesses of liberal idiots, while buying at conservative owned businesses.
Target is standing there with it’s pants around it’s ankles. It is now obvious that not only do they have a BIB, they also have a BIF.
Why are we not publicly demonstrating at Target? Are we just lazy? Why are motorcycle alpha not gathering in the parking lots for Bar B Que? Why are we putting up with this?
yup...each year i usually get my mother a large Target gift card for Mother’s Day...not this year, i got her something else...she opened the card, saw it was not from target and said “bathroom policy”...
[[Target’s stance on bathroom debate drives business to Walmart ]]
Good
Down about 4 billion so far.
I went in person last evening to self-identify myself as an ex-customer.
Keep pizzin’ off half or more of your customer base you geniuses at Target. You would think that JC Penney’s and Macy’s would provide a clue to these LIEberal jerks. Then again LIEberals are mostly financial morons.
Patience, grasshopper. The results of what ‘we’ are doing now are just coming in.
For a paper I wrote while getting my MBA I interviewed several Target shoppers. I live in a university town full of stuck-up liberals and most of the shoppers were expensively dressed and drove newish cars and SUV’s. Most said something like they would die before shopping at Walmart.
From the data I got for my paper, the average income of a Target shopper was $75k while for Walmart shoppers it was $25k. I doubt that the bathroom policy would have swayed any of the shoppers I interviewed. For the most part their minds were so open that I’m surprised their brains didn’t fall out.
There are plenty of Wal-Mart bashers on this very forum.
It’s not necessarily a liberal thing, more classist, I guess.
oh please let it be true. Have you noticed that professional “churches” run for the hills in fear?

I wrote most of my papers on Walmart. It drove my classmates and professors batty. Walmart publishes all its data. If I recall, at the time the average worker was hired at age 40 and it was his or her first real job. They learned valuable work skills. Their average tenure was just 18 months, at which time they apparently moved on to better jobs. I concluded that Walmart had replaced the small business as the training ground for new workers. They are the largest single employer in 15 states. (Think about that for a minute. Amazing.) They are the fifteenth largest economy on the planet, at the time just behind Saudi Arabia.

I will not step foot in to a Target and there’s several in my area
