Agree about Star*ucks. Also their coffee has no taste! It’s amazing people buy it. There are other coffee places with much better tasting product

Pun intended.:)

Starbucks are often located inside of Target stores, so....

Also, Starbucks tends to play crappy music in their stores.
And they play it VERY VERY LOUDLY!!

Don’t they realize that one reason people go to coffee shops is to sit at a table and have a conversation?

People go to Starbucks for the free wi-fi and the absence of McDonald's patrons. (And of course, because they've been told that burned coffee is 'cool'). Since Starbucks has inadequate seating, they need to encourage folks to move on and free up seats.

Did Target honestly think the bulk of their customers were transgenders and gay guys? I mean, how dumb can you be?

People like to say this but TGT has been strugging for over a year because of decisions made to close stores and reorganize.... you can have your own opinion about things but not your own FACTS:

On the other hand, you seem to like to have YOUR own set of 'facts'.

A year ago (Sept 2, 2015) - $77.05 a share.

Target bathroom policy hits the paper (April 19, 2016 http://www.startribune.com/target-says-transgender-people-can-use-bathroom-that-aligns-with-their-identity/376256911/ ) - $83.98 a share, just a few cents off of its adjusted all time high.

Today $70.80.

So, I'm calling your bluff. And I'm tempted to call you something else.

This is the Target Effect for the election. Those 1.4 mm besides not shopping Target will vote for Trump. They are the silent majority.

She just didn’t go far enough

We nearly took J.C. Penney out, and we can do the same to you.

I used to shop there weekly as it is convenient for me.....after the bathroom nonsense, I have not set foot in the store.

It’s not just their bathroom policy for me; that was just a latest symptom of the way they’ve been moving sharply left for several years now.

J.C. Penney is on some life support now, despite the rosy picture they try to paint.

They sent surveys asking if allowing men into women’s restrooms affected your shopping habits?

Used to go there now & again. Haven’t been there in over a year now due to their extreme liberal crusading stupidity, and don’t ever plan to go there again. Hope they go out of business.

The funny cat picture Web site is featuring some article about “my incredible day working at Target.” Said site must get a lot of Soros funding.
