[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the Target experience has been an interesting moment for corporate America. The lesson is never, ever chase politics as a strategy for growth. [b]Target went all in with the progressive priorities of 2022.[/b] And now they are reaping the whirlwind from the invariable blowback.

The CEO and the Board at Target are idiots. They had a good brand - reasonably good products at a reasonably good price point. That works everywhere. But they chose to change their business based on a sliver of time in American politics. Idiots. Now everyone hates Target.

Corporations need to be much better about their CEOs and boards and senior management. Because when you get things wrong, it's very costly. The problems with Target are self-inflicted. [/quote]
That didn’t hurt them. Reversing those policies just to appease Trump is what did it. Target’s most loyal customers were disgusted by that.[/quote]

This. For some reason the CEOs convinced themselves that most people supported Trump and forgot about their whole customer base.

I stopped shopping in Target in February after being a loyal customer for over 15 years. Have not been back in a store or ordered online since. Would usually go every single week and drop at least $50+ over what I planned to buy.

I will never shop there again, since it's obvious they were just pretending to support women, as well as people of color and LGBT people.

I've already found other sources (local grocery store, Costco, local organic market) and developed other non shopping habits as well as still being big mad at them. [/quote]
