Oh that’s how you decided to spell “Targét”. Well either way I’m good, Target said they don’t want my money

New CEO about to learn that "Nevermind all that, come shopping!" doesn't do much to attract the people they happily dehumanised What am I saying, CEO's don't learn from that kind of thing.

No

Well well well. If it isn’t the consequences of their own actions.

Ignoring the fact they still have no clue, their *plan* is let the guy who has been at Target forever try to fix it? Someone steeped in the culture that led to this?

The lesson here isn’t for Target, it’s for other companies that are undecided about telling their loyal customers to go fuck themselves. We’re going to watch Target go bankrupt and then shrug. Take note.

I see nothing about reversing their stance on DEI. That’s why I stopped. They need to address why we all left in the first place.

"They" have all been bought by the billionaire fascists.

We’re not going back to Target until the Woke 2 march to the sea cleanses all. Every red hat stomped out and a banner of an interracial gay couple is hanging on the outside of every store.

Have they considered not kissing the soggy Depends of MAGAs pedo POTUS and kowtowing to the needs of white supremacists?

They need to start by changing basically everything about what they are doing right now. And that's probably not even enough.

TARZHAY?!

Lol, how about no? Fuck you target, haven't spent a dime at that store in over a year now and won't ever again.

lol, lmao. perish.

Freebie 50K consulting advice: Once you turn something to ashes, you can't put it back the way it was before. It's a one way street. Still on the homophobia boycott from the 90s myself. Their options are lean in to the fascism they chose or perish. Have fun in your new gig!

Not happening so long as Target continues to bend the knee to Trump's bigotry

I care about Target as much as I care about CNN.

Didn't stop shopping there because of the brands. 🙄

Here’s a starter plan: Make a statement Nazis aren’t welcome. Make a statement LGBTQ are welcome. In fact display Pride flags. Put back DEI, call it whatever you want.

Nah man. We go to Costco now.

Maybe if they start carrying anti-Trump shirts, signs and protest items while denouncing the president and re-establishing DEI practices and great employee benefits we MIGHT start going there again.

Wait... their plan is just to inconveniently place things? No attempt to undo their far right turn? They don't even know what they did wrong.

Not a word about reversing their decision to lick Trump's boots and destroy their DEI programs. I don't see anything changing for them.

no res

His turnaround needs to be back into the sea.

I stopped shopping there and never will. Go bankrupt, you bootlickers.

He just doesn’t get it.

JUST CONTINUE TO BOYCOTT TARGET AND DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO DESTROY THEM. THE OLIGARCHY MUST DIE. THE MAJOR CORPORATIONS THAT HAVE PROVEN THEIR ABUSIVE NATURE MUST DIE. OBJECT. LESSONS. MUST. START. BEING. MADE.

That ain't it. 😒

It's not a starter store, it's a finisher store!

Yeah that’s the ticket.

That ship has sailed

All of the above, as well as not supporting films or TV shows featuring Trump-supporting actors.

Who needs something from Costco?

Lol. Get K-marted, you flaccid cowards.

Good luck!

I mean, if they actually did that great, but I think they're more thinking that they just need to zhuzh the product lines.

they alienated their affluent liberal customers by kowtowing to conservative outrage. good luck.

If target was the last place on earth to obtain supplies I would simply choose to perish

Sorry Target, you fucked up. I've been shopping there, first with my parents as a little kid, & then independently since you changed from AYR-WAY. Not coming back.🏳️‍🌈 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

My fam ain’t going back, sa-har-ray

Pander to 15% of the country, lose at least 40% in return.

It's been 14 months since I've spent a penny at Target. Imagine being so awful you make someone prefer Walmart.

Betraying your core customers will do that.

They have gestapo cameras in the parking lot monitoring customers and work with the gestapo against their own employees. No thanks, would rather shopn at a company that doesn't absolutely hate their community.

Fuck 'em, and stop helping them polish their bigotry

Oh I think he’s got a bigger problem. Recent ad promotes detergent, buy 2 get one free. So, the cost is 19.99 each, put 3 in the cart and the cost shows in the cart, why does it show a cost of $48.88???? Even if you pay the tax on all 3, the total cost is $43.58 @cnn.com @abcnewsbot.bsky.social

About the only thing that can save Targét (note to CNN: that's how you would spell the pseudo-French pronunciation, with an accent) is if a private equity bought it, sold off the real estate and data, fired the workers, borrowed against it and then let the brand whither and die.

A fascist who doesn't know anything outside their teeny white Anglo bubble.

Target is pretty much dead to me😑

Target doesn’t understand it’s customer base, at all. Costco does.

CNN already kissing Ellison’s ass with Target “turnaround” puff piece. I don’t care what Target’s new CEO Fiddledick says or does. Target is dead to me. Who agrees? ✋✋✋ #BoycottTarget #FuckTarget

It might work this time! Anything's possible, right?

You can't polish a turd.......

Call me back when they’ve made every bathroom in every store mandatory gender neutral just to piss off the transphobes, mkay?

No redemption; No Forgiveness.

Then you've entirely missed Target's reputation with a lot of their customer base. Which is fine, if you're not part of that, but is not good if you're CEO. There's a Somali saying that a leader is a guy with a bunch of heavily armed men following him and he'd better be real sure about why.

It does not instill any great hope that the CEO can rehabilitate Target's image.

Fake fancy, more akin to Mrs Bucket of Keeping Up Appearances than real French. If we're trying to spell it the French way, a g preceding the et would actually give the appropriate soft g sound, so no spelling change would be necessary.

Elderly greeters reading land acknowledgments or gtfo

“Once that [line] is crossed, there are few routes back. There is no ‘final straw’—a price cut, a promise to ‘do better’—that can be reversed to draw them back in, nor was there one that could be avoided. The triggers for each individual are different, but their effect on the group is cumulative.”

Live in a small town don’t shop target or Walmart. If forced to choose in a crisis I will go to Walmart. At least they have always been honest about who they are. In the past I went to target all the time. It’s not Tarzhay it’s TarNAY for me

Retail rushing to attract wealthier customers because they won’t lower prices. The truth is wealthier customers are also impacted by the increased prices and there are not enough to support Target, Chipotle and the like that want to focus on people with more money.

fuck Target everyone figured out how little they needed to be shopping there. whatever was there, I found elsewhere. wasn't even that challenging to do.

Target board members- this is a absolute bargain

How *not* to have an effective turnaround. People feel betrayed by Target knuckling under to Trump and his goons. Letting ICE stage their vehicles in Target parking lots says a lot more about company priorities than any rebranding they may attempt.

lol

Might want to start by putting prices on your goddamned items again… entire sections of the men’s athletic wear had zero price tags. When I spoke to the store manager, she says it’s how corporate sends them, they can’t add prices, and the bars are there to scan at their random ass scanners.

They can do whatever. No one’s buying their shit.

What are the "cons" to measures taken to combat systemic racism?

Customers: We sure didn't like how you handled DEI and ICE Wealthy CEO: Yes, but what if we had a reputation for wealth

Good luck with that.

i don't know if it's hilarious or insulting that the stock market will respond to this "plan" like it's actually going to do the trick.

Instead of redesigning the stores, maybe restore DEI and take care of your employees. If you do that I’ll start shopping there again.

Target can go fuck itself for allowing ICE fascists to terrorize brown and black people on its premises.

10/10

Very good

better idea, they simply perish :)

I went to a Target last week because I had gotten a gift card for Christmas and not using it is like giving them money. Forgot the gift card at home (which is how too often I roll), so left without a purchase. I'll go back with it, but I'll give them as little of my own money as possible.

🖕 Never again, will I ever shop at Target. I used to go there exclusively, for my yearly Christmas snowglobe purchases and wrapping paper. Target failed the easiest test imaginable, for the worst reasons, and shit on their customer base doing it.

Damn, being first in line to suck that fascist dick not really working out for them, huh?

Fuck Target. Fuck their CEO. Fuck capitulating to authoritarianism.

I’ll shop again if they get off trumps gonads & return to 1902 prices.

They wanted to tongue pump Trump's rump and are out here wondering why that isn't going so well for them. Too bad they can't turn back time, but baby those days are gone; they can get sores in the bed they were in such a hurry to make. Some customers actually prefer ethics.

Given how instantly and aggressively capitulated (the one nearest a college campus that has 1970s San Francisco density of LGBT people didn't even have any Pride stuff last year) I find the explanation that the board already wanted the change and used Trump as an excuse to be pretty credible.

yeah I've just accepted a little less convenience and won't go to target. you aren't providing a unique service, you're a store. when you squander brand loyalty what other differentiators do you have??

That bell cannot be un-rung. The reputation is gone and so are the customers.

Target might also want to go back to selling quality clothing, instead of the ugly cheap looking shit they've had on the shelves for the past several years.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, you can’t unfuck yourself from aligning with Trump, bro. ETTD, BITCH!

how's that anti-DEI campaign going

bruh just put the woke back

Sorry, I was already planning to boycott Target was because I had to wait 30+ minutes in an aisle because everything was locked up & there wasn't enough staff to open the case for me. For a cheap rice steamer. Then they did the DEI thing. They can fail

❌ 🙅‍♀️👎🏽 One sentence in, and I already hate this guy. I’m not gonna shop there twice as hard.

Have they tried actual self-immolation?

a paint job isn't the way to lure me back in.

Puttin' that toothpaste back in the tube, ooh puttin that toothpaste back in the

Go woke or go broke

Stop woke, going broke. 😂

They don’t get it. If your brand relies on those ‘liberal’ customers, telling them to eat shit so you can appease the MAGA crowd, who will never shop their anyway, is a horrible idea. But fuck em.

I never liked the store anyway, their clueless, tone deaf attitude only made me stay away permanently.

Bro we are never coming back. Costco filled almost every gap left from not shopping at Target.

Fuck target and fuck cnn.
