    Joke’s on them; I already started. I’d rather spend more with a company that has a backbone and supports its employees and the community with more than just platitudes when it suits them financially.

    And even more importantly, just bringing back the old policy isn’t enough to get me to return. I want consistent demonstration of their commitment first. For years.

    But you know they save some money on DEI training, so win?

    Target can go fuck themselves.

      Can’t win! Do the wrong thing, people get mad. Do the right thing, people get mad.

      How am I supposed to decide what to do??

      If they’d have not flip flopped, they wouldn’t have alienated both demographics. They make so much fucking money that they could have taken measures to protect employees from psychos that attacked them. Instead they were cowards and gave in. Now they are using the current political climate as an excuse to further enshitify the company.

      I’m fortunate enough that I have options around me. I’m not saying I will do no shopping there, but I will try almost anywhere else but Amazon and Walmart before I bite the bullet.
