Minneapolis — Target cut its profit and comparable-store sales outlook amid stiffer competition and its own stumbles in areas like grocery sales. The discounter’s second-quarter net income fell nearly 10%, though that was better than what most had expected. Sales at stores open at least a year fell 1.1%, reversing seven straight quarters of gains. Target shares were down more than 6% in mid-morning trading Wednesday. The quarter underscores challenges that Target and other retailers face from Amazon.com and shoppers who remain cautious about spending.

Yeah... That global warming is really hurting sales. If they would put urinals in the women’s bathroom they’d really boost sales.
I live in a very conservative town in MO and our Target has a few trans folk working there. One of them is a guy that has all appearances of a guy (hair style, no piercings, etc), but wears a stuffed bra. It is incredibly awkward, uncomfortable, and nauseating being anywhere in the vicinity. Add on that he could be going in the same bathroom as my daughter and I will never let her go into any bathroom alone.
People can call me bigoted, but when you have seen lions and giraffes all your life and suddenly see a lion with giraffe legs, yes you are going to double take and feel like something is out of place.
I think it’s lack of urinals in the women’s bathrooms. It is outrageous that a transgendered woman with a penis has to sit down to urinate.
Frankly, I don’t think these penis-equipped whatevers are there to “pee”.
No discussion of the boycott.
Don’t forget Penny’s !!!
I have only been in there once since then, and decided I could buy what I needed elsewhere. It really is too bad. their stores are clean and well-stocked, but their management is insane.
But... they totally shored up the trans market, right? Didn’t that make it all worth it?
Targets bathrooms are pervert magnets.
I have always gone to Target because I HATE Walmart, HOWEVER haven’t set foot in a Target since the bathroom brew ha ha and Walmart now has my business regardless of how much I hate them I go VERY early AM and it has been GREAT prices are much better also!!!!
All the biz-chatter smokescreen aside, we all know the reason Target’s struggling.
Time to double down on the perv enablers.
I refuse to step foot in a Target. Hope i’m not the only one.
Here around the Great Lakes we already have an upscale Wal-Mart. It’s called Meijer. There’s a Meijer store two miles from my house, so I don’t think I’ll ever miss Target.
I’ll be damned if I will ever go in to a Target store EVER again.
hell with em/
Don’t know ... complaints or something I guess. Anyway Target won’t let them bell ring at certain stores.
Excellent again.:)
‘A little something missing in the reporting”
Exactly! Like how there was a massive stock market rally last week in the retail sector.
Corporate fascism is not popular? Who knew?
The market is difficult when you invite predators into your stores, while hoping that mothers will bring their children to those stores? Who would have guessed?
