The first reaction from retail is layoffs.



There wasn't a single company in this article that was doing retail layoffs.

It should piss everyone off because they are gouging. All of the big companies have been doing so. The middle class, lower class, and small businesses are getting fricked.

I got so fed up with it at my business from the large multi-national suppliers gouging that I've gone directly to the source to get materials. I'm even more angry now that I know what they were paying from Asia and then reselling to me. Jokes on them. They pissed me off enough that I'm finding a way to bypass them.

What they meant to say:

“We have lost a lot of business by flaunting woke shite. And that means we lost sales, lots of sales. So we’re lowering prices under the guise of helping people when we really just want MAGA shoppers back”

In other words, Target is going to start shrinking products to instead of raising prices.

Next thing you know travel size bottles of shampoo will be sold at full price.

Maybe they should have listened to the people on a number of issues instead of calling them bigots.

All I know is that at every campus pro-Hamas encampment I saw on TV there were multiple bags from Target in the encampment.

Apparently Target is the go-to choice for spoiled brats and terrorists alike.

I'll never step foot in one again and could give a shite about prices.

You live 7 miles down a dirt road, you were never going to Target in the first place.

The Tupperware bins of landfill fodder are already clogging up the mortgaged-to-the-hilt 3/2 shithole starter homes. People ain’t spending no matter what.

I wouldn't shop there if they were giving stuff away. I quit shopping there when they started letting men use the women's restrooms.

Target limits pride month locations per NPR

This article says Target plans to only sell pride merchandise online and in "select" stores due to the backlash last year that caused them to pull products, but also due to an FBI / DHS warning that foreign terrorists (aka people like or including hamas) plan to attack pride events in June.

Talk about beliefs that require mental gymnastics.
