I was boycotting them from the point where I quit the job in logistics. That job was awful.
I've been boycotting Target for months now
When they took down all their pride stuff to appease the far right, I never looked back.
Ending DEI was it for me
Every one of these idiot companies pivoting to cowboy capitalism from rainbow capitalism are clueless about who actually has money in this country.
The billionaires?
Sorry, money they're actually willing to spend at a store.
Billionaires can't buy anything at stores, after all "IT's NOt LIQuID". 😜
PS: I know that they can buy shit at stores with their lifetime loans while keeping their assets 100% intact, but what billionaire is going to shop regularly at Target?
Warren Buffett?
Nah, that would require Target to actually sell quality products, and Walmart has them beat on quality and price, somehow.
Been part of a boycott for decades and didn't even know
I felt the same way about Budweiser
Wish I was a tiefling IRL 😔
It's okay Comrade. You get to fuck sharks.
Been boycotting them since my local one let ICE use their back parking lot to stage up and detain folks
Oh good I’ll continue to not shop there
I had no idea either. But I also haven't been to target in about 6 months and I've been boycotting pretty much everywhere else since last year. I haven't even done online shopping since October and it's been kinda nice going to actual stores again. Was gonna get a Costco membership next so I don't have to use Kroger. Unfortunately, the nearest Costco to me is about an hour away. Fortunately, I like driving.
Start paying cash so payment processors don't get their fees and they can't sell your info.
I think this is the smart thing to do right now. I applaud.
This reads like an Improv exercise and I LOVE IT! Unfortunately I can only get so hard.
Boycotting Target and Walmart.
Boycotting them since Jan. 1. 😎
Is that when they dropped DEI?
Because that's when I stopped shopping there. Didn't need to wait to be told and have no plans to end the boycott after 40 days or anytime. Not sure if bringing back DEI would change my mind. They played us.
don't know why, don't care, let's do it
Easy, I’ve not gone there in months anyway
