Alternative to Target?

[Anonymous]

They just jumped on the anti-DEI bandwagon. I am so disappointed. I wonder if the GOP will flock to Target now — or is that unlikely because Target’s prices are still higher and everyone is supposedly concerned about inflation?

Is it Wayfair and IKEA for furniture now? Where should I get household decor?

Nowhere. Join a local buy nothing group.

What kind of decor? I would look for local artists and crafters. Or pick up things when you travel.

Get over yourself. All DEI departments are going away.

There are not a lot of cuddly and friendly corporations. We’d all do well to rely on them less. Buying secondhand is great. Facebook marketplace is great for decor and furniture. Thrift stores, vintage, etc. - the pieces are more durable and interesting. Target and wayfair are cheap crap.

Whatever you feel about this DEI backlash, btw, it’s absolutely lame that all these companies are bending to politics when they should instead rely on research to drive their policies.

OP here. This is how I feel. Target’s program to promote black-owned shampoo companies (for example) was never at the expense of other companies, it just enhanced their visibility in a market that leans heavily towards white hair. No white hair products were going away, but Target’s policy made it easier for black hair products to even exist. It cost nothing to the consumer, so it’s not like it was discriminatory. I am white, by the way. I honestly don’t understand how a company that says, ”We value all people and are going to offer products for everybody” is so triggering.

If target taking away black hair products? Or just firing the DEI executive who didn’t increase profit margin? Bc senior executives who don’t bring a real value will be cut regardless of DEI.

Things like throws, pottery or a decorative lamp. I like the idea of local crafters!

I’m a huge Target fan and agree with you OP.
I don’t know if there is any place similar.

It won’t replace Target, but I would shop at Costco more.

Per the article I read, Target will “end a program focused on carrying more products from Black- or minority-owned businesses”

Not true, and we can choose to shop at humane and inclusive places- Costco, IKEA are the new go-to stores!

How much made-in-China crap do you really need?

You don’t need any household decor OP. I promise, you don’t. Buy your food at your local grocer or Costco. I stock up on cleaning supplies at Walmart when I run low. You don’t need Target or Amazon.
