Imagine spending years positioning yourself as walmart for bougie white women and then just stopping. Like... what did they expect?
We never go to Walmart because of their politics. Then Target pulls this and it's not the first time either. They caved on the pride stuff then the LGBT community got pissed. Not sure why they did it. Did they think trumpy grumpies were going to go there over Walmart? They should of embraced the boycott and ran as a company that prides itself against haters but I'm not in business so what do I know
Well, I drive fifteen minutes out of my way to use target instead of Walmart. Now I'm going to just try to find it in a smaller local store. I know Americans are too lazy for a boycott to have a measured effect, but I will do my part.
Better yet, buy secondhand, reduce consumption, and buy from farmers markets.
