Target can't get its footing after its DEI program demise and a 40-day boycott against the retailer. Foot traffic at stores is down for the eighth consecutive week
For the week that began March 17, foot traffic fell 5.7% YoY for Target, according to data from Placer.ai.

Heh
Probably also doesn't help that they cut store staff to breaking point in most markets and now those stores look like the set of a Poob zombie movie.
Good. Deserved. I used to go there once in a blue moon just because they had different stuff than my usual shops. Not anymore. They can bite my pale ghost arse.
My daughter has a gymnastics class one night a week and there's nowhere for parents inside the building so we're expected to sit in our cars. Instead of using the gas to keep the heat on, I go to Target to take a dump and walk laps. Even my wife, one of the whitest women I know, has stopped shopping there.
Good.
Good glad to see some tangible numbers. I was a weekly Target shopper but haven't been since the economic blackout day. They were actually doing some cool things after 2020, selling a lot of products from Black-owned businesses. To see them do a 180 is a stark reminder.that they're just a business and $$$ is the name of the game. Gotta hit em all in the pocketbook, it's the only thing they listen to.
i got some fantastic gay pride merch from Target in 2022, the year they partnered with lgbtq creators and made some legitimately great clothing. then they received death threats and pulled them from stores.
I'm certainly not giving them my money.
go anti-woke go broke 💀
Go fasch, lose cash
Oh yeah, forgot about that boycott. They're like the easiest one of the bootlicker stores to avoid, so I'm permanently boycotting them.
Almost like what Trump says isn't actually what the majority of people want. Breaking news! The guy that never tells the truth lies again.
Because the 'DEI program demise' triggered a consumer boycott from minority groups.
Not just minority groups. White male here, haven't been in since. Actually, I have travelled to and shopped in Canada in the same timeframe, which is a fun side thing.
They really need to ditch their current CEO. He has been running Target into the ground the past couple of years.
Used to get a decent amount of stuff from Target. Some grocery items were actually cheaper than the big chain grocery. Stopped immediately at the start of the boycott, already adjusted and have had no trouble not going back. Their parking lot looks a lot emptier when we drive past
Target was good for hot milfs and laughing about high prices. Maybe the clothes selection for kids is good. That's about it. Fuck Target.
They are the only local place I can get transformers, aside from Wal-Mart.
Online ordering will have to sustain me, but that's a lot harder to justify as "impulse purchase."
