Target foot traffic down for 11th straight week after caving on DEI - Costco, which defied calls to end DEI, notches 16th straight week of foot-traffic gains

Target down 6.5% YoY for the month and Costco—beginning to see a pattern here?—up 7.5%

fellow DEI capitulators Walmart and McDonald's both saw foot-traffic increases, up 2.7% and 4.5% respectively.

Hm... what is the pattern?

• Target - no DEI - down 6.5%
• Walmart - no DEI - up 2.7%
• McDonald's - no DEI - up 4.5%
• Costco - DEI - up 7.5%

Were they all supposed to go up as much as Costco?

It's almost like consumers want inclusivity.

ETA: That's a hell of a lede.
