“Target CEO Brian Cornwell told Fortune magazine in May that the transgender bathroom policy has nothing to do with their financial wellbeing.”

Remain calm. All is well.

I haven't set foot in Target since they made the bad bathroom decision. There isn't anything on their shelves that I can't find elsewhere. It's a 55 mile drive to the nearest Target from my house. Shopping there was rarely a deliberate act. More often it was a collateral action from visiting Idaho Falls for other purposes.

Target stockholders would be wise to can the lib CEO, reverse the policy and apologize to the public.

My wife was at Target today but was afraid to use their restrooms.

Looks like the transgendered demographic was not anywhere near as big as Target execs thought it was.

We can assume that the 1.2 million figure is for two wage earner family’s with children, who have chosen to abide by their faith and pursued shopping is “safe” spaces. Stable church going families represent an important sector of the population when it comes to tax paying (and tides), or disposable income for non-church attending Americans. Target does not “target” the poor or the rich, but rather the affluent - and the majority were offended.

“The debate is whether there is a correlation between those two facts.”

Actually, the debate goes beyond correlation to causation. Target has experienced a revenue downturn. It instituted a controversial bathroom policy. Has Target’s revenue decreased more than similarly situated brick and mortar retailers, and can it be explained by a decrease in young women’s apparel? Today’s retailers are very sophisticated. Identifying which segments are underperforming relative to previous quarters and years is not difficult. It a question for the big data guys in the IT dept.

Hey, Brian Cornhole -—I mean, “Cornwell”. I haven’t set foot in a Target store this year and I won’t until the policy changes and you’re out of a job.

How’s that for a “measurable”.

BTW, I’ve also stopped patronizing the Hilton chain of hotels because of their promotion of homosexuality.

I'm betting that CEO Cornwell, well, he is toast and will soon “smell the burn.” He has a target on his back now and, with his head in the sand, he might get shot in the butt!

Stockholders won't put up with lousy numbers on the bottom line.
