Although Walmart retreated from its diversity initiatives first, Target has been the focus of more concerted consumer boycotts. Organizers have said they viewed Target’s action as a greater betrayal because the company previously had held itself out as a champion of inclusion. In 2023, a customer backlash over the annual line of LGBTQ+ Pride merchandise Target carried also cut into sales.
Fiddelke said he would step in as CEO with three urgent priorities: reclaiming the company’s position as a leader in selecting and displaying merchandise; improving the customer experience by making sure shelves are consistently stocked and stores are clean; and investing in technology.
This is a load of nothing. Wake me up when they commit to something real and praiseworthy.
I am encouraged they’ve recognized the problems afflciting their brand and are going to remedy it by “shortening the time it took to get new items from the idea stage into stores.”…
Boycott the hell out of target and walmart! Go to your farmer’s market, local grocers, bakeries and costcos instead!
Haven’t shopped at target since this happened! Screw you target!
hopefully this means the boycott is actually working?
There have been several boycotts and, yes they helped.
boycotts are like the fork in the dinner place setting of civil action; there’s also the spoon, knife, plate and cup each have its use.
And, as an individual, boycotts mean a meaningful decrease. We buy much less from Target, probably more than 90% less but there are a couple things we rely on, but can’t easily get elsewhere.
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, so any reduction is meaningful.
– and difficult; things are so much more unaffordable and difficult to get when you won’t use amazon or walmart.
so if i can’t shop at amazon, walmart, target, publix, dollar general. where they fuck am i going to get groceries and stuff? and dont tell me to go to the mom and pop market at the flea market they dont got enough.
