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.

RS Metrics, which uses satellites to monitor thousands of retail parking lots across the country in order to identify changing business trends.

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?

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.

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.

The local Target is five minutes away, but I will drive the 12 miles to get my 4K TV elsewhere.

We went “big city” shopping last weekend. Walmart and Sam’s Club cleaned up. Target took it in the shorts from me. Didn’t even drive by the joint. Too many tootie fruities. Picked me up some good new books at Sam’s and Walmart.

“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.

...

That’s a cool way to get beyond the lies told by management.

Our entire extended family has dropped target. We’ve just got a few gift cards to use up though.

no woman (or girl) is safe there now
and
a lot of men and families are therefore also choosing to shop elsewhere

it doesn’t take rocket science to understand why Target’s patronage is heading DOWN DOWN DOWN

frankly, Walmart is overall a better store for everyday items and certainly much better in their new grocery departments than the sub-standard food department at Target..........and Walmart has mostly lower prices, too

not perfect, true.....but a very good store and people who shop at Walmart know it (and yes, some like to complain a lot of make jokes about it...like Costco...ha...but both WM and Costco are really outstanding for the many good values they afford shoppers ....just saying)

Since their homo ads of a year or more ago, I quit Target entirely. Being in the hugely liberal n Francisco the nearest Walmart is like an hour away! But they got my business anyway. I just do an Internet order every month or so. I do not bother Target with my business as they clearly don’t want it

I used to go to Starbuscks 3-4 times a week but quit when they did the homo promo in Congress I go to Peets now. I don’t know that Starbucks misses me but whatever, it was not a hard change to make

What else? Campbell’s soup. They did the homo promo. I switched to Progresso And i do all the grocery shopping for my household

Ben and Jerry’s will never be in my home. I’d go without ice cream for life if I had to

Chase bank had been a good bank for me for years but now every June they run homo month ads on their electronic billboard right there in the bank where I have to stand there and look. I complained, twice.
I had 7 different accounts there but am down to two. Hard to extricate from everything without cooperation from a few others but have whittled down well. Have switched to Wells Fargo.

Well that’s all I can think of offhand. But I do my little part.

I guess the officers of this company don’t think they have a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders to maximimize profits?

Or is that core guiding principle out the window when leftist ideology is at stake. Rhetorical question I guess...

Wonder if there will be a shareholder rebellion down the road?
