I don’t care how many CEO changes you do. I won’t shop there until DEI and LGBT products are back.
Turns out go woke, go broke wasn’t a thing.
Where do you shop instead? Like it seems their main competitors are Walmart and Amazon who are both also really bad. I personally have been getting more stuff at Costco as they didn’t roll back DEI and by retail standards treat their employees really well
Costco is another one. Home Goods, Marshalls, Kohls works too. Grocery shopping is Aldi, Price Rite, and Wegmans. I’ll do Walmart also as last resort. I know they’re bad but they are kinda the villain you expect. Target was that good guy that went evil that you know they could be better so the hope is a boycott shocks them back to the light side. I’m lucky enough to live in a medium city so I have a lot of options.
I don’t live in a place with many options besides Aldi and Walmart.
“Target was the good guy”
Oh for the love of class consciousness! They just said what they thought would bring more sales, they never cared about their workers who they extract value from.
They’re all evil, but Target REALLY leaned into the Pride Month for sales, then made a hard backtrack once fascists were in power.
Well they did get sued for DEI lowering their stock price… by the government. That just seems like a sentence nobody should ever have to say because it would be comical if it wasn’t so sad
They did more than that, their bathroom got blown up by a religious nut over their inclusive bathroom policy, and they re-opened without changing their policy.
They advocated internally for LGBTQ people especially trans people.
That’s why this absolute cave, spinning about-face so fast they could start a fire without matches… this is so fucking dumb.
And the people who see it are justifiably disgusted.
The real answer is locally owned grocery stores, which are mostly dead except for some Asian supermarkets.
Walmart destroyed the idea that a grocery store was owned by someone who lived in your community.
I miss the days when Fred Meyer was alive. No, seriously, the dude Fred Meyer was a real person.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_G._Meyer
“He is credited for inventing the modern hypermarket.[6]”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Meyer
“Fred Meyer was acquired by Kroger in 1998, but the stores retained the Fred Meyer name.”
😢
Costco yup
I will often still look for things on Amazon, but I try to find reasonable alternatives from Shopify. It’s not perfect, and shipping tends to be slower and more expensive, but I like the idea of not making Bezos more money when I can.
Bad news about Costco: https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/costco-not-sell-abortion-pill-mifepristone-its-us-pharmacy-stores-aug-14-2025-08-14/
UPDATE (for additional context): Reportedly, Costco has never carried mifepristone, ever, and according to Costco’s own analysis, there has not been significant demand from Costco members to warrant adding it.
https://www.seattletimes.com/business/costco-asserts-that-it-wont-sell-abortion-pill-mifepristone/
For even more context, mifepristone is only ever meant to be administered under the direct supervision of medical staff. That doesn’t mean a doctor prescribed this pill for you to take at home, it means you only get the pill in a doctor’s office, with the doctor and staff there to care for you.
People I know who have taken mifepristone confirm: it does fuck you up and you DON’T want to take it at home.
If you read the article it’s because it wasn’t selling and had nothing to do with politics
Just to add to this, a low volume drug that is not taken regularly doesn’t fit in well with a company that specializes in selling products in bulk
True, if you need 1000 of those pills you might have a problem. 😆
Further reading gives additional context on that.

So they claim…
The article has already had 2 retractions that clarify now that they never sold the drug and had no intent to because people generally get the medicine from their doctor.
It’s like me asking you if you plan personally plan to sell lgbt t shirts out of your car and when you say no, because why would you be selling t shirts out of your car, I make an article claiming your are anti lgbt and are refusing to sell lgbt t shirts
Good sleuthing. This is what news should be, finding the misinformation, fact checking it, correcting it.
Jesus. Ok I guess at this point it’s who is the least evil I can work with.
E: They never sold the drug.
Wish I had a Costco
until DEI and LGBT products are back
I don’t care what they bring back, I’m never shopping there again. When someone shows you who they really are, believe them the first time.
Go Fash, lose cash.
Get woke or go broke
LGBT products? Does any non specialty stores sell LGBT products? Or do you mean Pride month?
Yeah I was talking about their pride collection. They used to be loud and proud about that and then they placated terrorists on the right. This is coming from someone who is not LGBT but has friends in that community.
No but the impact of buying because of personal beliefs is definitely a thing in this day and pre-fascist age
Go to sleep, futures bleak bro!
Support trump? Enjoy your slump!
Target fled my country in fear of our mighty geese
Ah yes they did file for bankruptcy like a decade ago.
You mess with the honk, you get the bonk
Last time I was in a Target they literally had nothing for me to buy. Just aisles of useless merch. Ended up getting a drink because I was thirsty and that was it.
No Xbox games, old PS5/Switch games, horrible book section, no movies to speak of, no decent olive oil… Just a bad scene.
It’s like they aren’t competing with Walmart or Kroger anymore and are just trying to be a super sized 7-11.
It’s worse than TEMU in there. Just a ton of cheap imports at enormous markups.
I found more to get at a Japanese dollar store that opened recently:
Haven’t been in a Target in over a year. I used to stop in once a while… but they suck as a company.
I found boycotting Target to be quite easy, since I never shop there because they’re overpriced and the specialization of their selection is so incoherent that they’re largely useless.
I went in for the first time in years recently, I needed supplies for a new place, they didn’t have showerheads or other bathroom staples that anyone might need. A whole ass aisle of shower curtains, but no showerheads or towel racks, things that the walmart across the street has huge selections of.
Turns out the citizens are mostly on board with DEI…
But… but… I kept the fat and paraplegic models!
Well that took long enough. This guy has been running Target into the ground for years. Will the next CEO be any better, or just more of the same?
Edit: Nevermind, the idiot is staying on as chairman. Nothing has really changed.
Target is not the target anymore for customers, I’ll see myself out now…
Go woke, suck Trump, go broke.
We need a better tagline. I hate to say it but go woke, go broke rolls off the tongue. Even though it’s clearly wrong. Go trump, fall into a slump.
Target is going to go out of business.
Good riddance.
And hopefully people are replacing it with good businesses and not walmart+Amazon
They aren’t
