Target Corp. said it will spend $20 million to add a private bathroom to each of its stores by next year, following customer protests over its policy allowing transgender individuals to use whichever restroom corresponds with their gender identity.
Target’s finance chief Cathy Smith said the move is a response to feedback from customers voicing displeasure over the company’s bathroom policy. She added the customer discontent hadn’t had a “material impact” on sales. CEO Brian Cornell had promised to roll out family restrooms earlier this year and defended the company’s stance on diversity.
Protests started at Target stores after the retailer announced in April that it welcomed transgender employees and guests to use the restroom or fitting room that corresponded with their gender identity. “Everyone deserves to feel they belong,” the company wrote on its website.

They have family bathrooms, I assume for people who don’t like sending their little boys into bathrooms alone (and for trannys). I guess they don’t care about females.
I saw how Target, personally, treated their customers who made large purchases. It was pretty much “Thanks! suckers”.
Never, ever again.
I just read a report that Target reported a 10 percent decline in customers in it's stores. So glad she cleared up the notion that there isn't an impact from customer discontent!
I have not shopped in Target since they intentionally and systematically exposed children to predators, neither in their stores nor online. I won’t be going back until they have new management, if ever.
Sorry Target. This is not the same as repentance. You lose.
But they're spending $20 million to respond to discontent that hasn't impacted sales.
Riiiiight.
Exactly ! I haven’t stepped foot in a target since they banned the bell ringers .
“She added the customer discontent hadn’t had a “material impact” on sales”
Therefore we will spend 20 million dollars to fix a non issue.
Buuuuwaaaahahahaha, Did Odunga write this Press release himself, cough, choke Buuuuuwaaahahahah!
and when that doesn't work, then what...
The transgenders and pedophiles and assorted perverts like Bill Clinton will sue Target and demand to be able to use those bathrooms too.
TOO LATE, STUPID!!!! EMBRACE THE SUCK!!!
Too late, they went full perv.
the idiocy continues because they cant offend the .1% of the mentally ill who obsessively wish they were the opposite gender.
I am tired of both sides feeling they have a right to use the others’ restrooms. for any litany of rationalizations.
