Where do you shop instead? Like it seems their main competitors are Walmart and Amazon who are both also really bad. I personally have been getting more stuff at Costco as they didn’t roll back DEI and by retail standards treat their employees really well
Costco is another one. Home Goods, Marshalls, Kohls works too. Grocery shopping is Aldi, Price Rite, and Wegmans. I’ll do Walmart also as last resort. I know they’re bad but they are kinda the villain you expect. Target was that good guy that went evil that you know they could be better so the hope is a boycott shocks them back to the light side. I’m lucky enough to live in a medium city so I have a lot of options.
Well they did get sued for DEI lowering their stock price… by the government. That just seems like a sentence nobody should ever have to say because it would be comical if it wasn’t so sad
I will often still look for things on Amazon, but I try to find reasonable alternatives from Shopify. It’s not perfect, and shipping tends to be slower and more expensive, but I like the idea of not making Bezos more money when I can.
Yeah I was talking about their pride collection. They used to be loud and proud about that and then they placated terrorists on the right. This is coming from someone who is not LGBT but has friends in that community.
I don’t care how many CEO changes you do. I won’t shop there until DEI and LGBT products are back.
Turns out go woke, go broke wasn’t a thing.
Go Fash, lose cash.
Get woke or go broke

There are no “good” corporations. Just less bad ones.
It’s like voting for Democrats: yeah sure they suck, but not as much as the other options
I don’t live in a place with many options besides Aldi and Walmart.
Throwing in the hat for Trader Joe’s
Trader Joe’s is anti-union and often rips off small companies that pitch products to them without compensation 😕

They’re all evil, but Target REALLY leaned into the Pride Month for sales, then made a hard backtrack once fascists were in power.

The real answer is locally owned grocery stores, which are mostly dead except for some Asian supermarkets.
Walmart destroyed the idea that a grocery store was owned by someone who lived in your community.
I miss the days when Fred Meyer was alive. No, seriously, the dude Fred Meyer was a real person.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_G._Meyer
“He is credited for inventing the modern hypermarket.[6]”

“Fred Meyer was acquired by Kroger in 1998, but the stores retained the Fred Meyer name.”

Wish I had a Costco
I don’t care what they bring back, I’m never shopping there again. When someone shows you who they really are, believe them the first time.
Go to sleep, futures bleak bro!
No but the impact of buying because of personal beliefs is definitely a thing in this day and pre-fascist age
LGBT products? Does any non specialty stores sell LGBT products? Or do you mean Pride month?
