Publix, Kroger, and Wegmans will have a run for their money with both Aldi and Lidl opening up storefronts where the demographics make sense.

“Of course the bathroom boycotts had nothing to do with this...”

Or Target refusing the Salvation Army bell ringers. I make a point of avoiding Target.

I concur. It’s astounding how they can’t see what their policies have to do with sales. Perhaps 2-3 more quarters of losses will sober them up...but if not, Bye Bye Target....

“He yelled at her “Hey, Snowflake... how about you gives me $20 right now so I can cut my rap CD.... or maybe you’d like some big black snake instead”.”

I hear you.

We have a pro-2nd amendment, constitutional sheriff in my county, and what you described doesn’t happen in my county.

If punks show up, they’re confronted and arrested. The sheriff knows who they are, where they live and can make life miserable and even deadly for them.

My wife’s nieces and their friends in soviet Red Hampshire refer to those stores as ‘Ghetto Basket’. Go figure.

Target was always a progressive company, and led by leftopians:

I did find an interesting blurb reading through their corporate garbage. They have a 100% rating from the human rights campaign-a disgusting diversity-through-perversity organization. The HRC produces a guide to shopping that is just as suited for the rest of us. Just shop all the companies rated poorly:

Trump apparel is listed dead last at 0%, though I doubt it made the list before this year.

Your wife’s nieces are nuts.

Some of the best and cleanest stores in the area with the best produce.

Their employees take their jobs seriously and had been treated well by the company. Amazing story about how the stores closed and

What I can not understand why Walmart hasn’t spent the money to put an off - duty OPD officer and car in that parking lot for some “extreme vetting” of everyone in that lot.

What greater signal do they need than a black female police sergeant that everyone in Orlando respected murdered in that same parking lot 7 weeks ago?

Lower food prices at Walmart (WMT) , sharp price reductions at grocery stores such as Kroger (KR) and Aldi, and the rapid shift to digital shopping have rocked Target (TGT) to its very core.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kroger, Aldi and Wal-Mart in my area have had a price war raging for more than a year now, on milk and eggs.

Dozen jumbo eggs 52¢, one gallon milk 80¢.

After thinking about it, I called the manager of the Walmart today.

He was a young, articulate, African American. He listened and promised to take action. I stressed the advantages of an off duty LEO, as opposed to a do nothing “security guard”. He agreed. We shall see.

Yeah, but, according to t.v. commercials, the cows are happy. For those who don't know --->http://www.realcaliforniamilk.com/about-us/.

Sometimes...they even get high.
And if people don't believe that, here's a warning sign;

and some activity captured on video

You wonder why milk is expensive out there? Now you know.
