Haven’t bought from Target since Feb 9. They used to be a store I bought from multiple times per week. I bought from them specifically because I didn’t agree with Walmart or their ethics, and Target — allegedly, I guess — was the opposite. A supporter of the community and social causes. Until it was convenient for Target to not do so anymore.
I have moved to other stores that have a backbone and stand up for their whole community and all of their employees.
Fuck that company. I hope they burn.
target used to have good choices, but lately, last few years thier items are lacking.
The fact that you thought target was ever the opposite of Walmart in ethics demonstrates you were never paying attention in the first place
Perhaps I was naïve and it was always skin deep and Walmart just didn’t care to hide it, it’s possible. But there was a time when yes, I did think Target was a better supporter of its customers social causes. Every company is just a company, after all, but the pendulum going from “we sell pride merch!” to “what’s diversity?” was particularly jarring for me, and evidently I’m not alone in that feeling.
It was publicly anti union. They never cared about social causes. They paid workers squat all--diversity in worker suppression.
Caring only that there's a diverse lower class catering to your needs is not actually caring in the first place.
Judging anyone by your own personal standards isn't community.
If you wanna be part of the solution, stop being part of the (judgmental) problem.
I'm a union rep, I'm already part of the solution .... Doesn't mean I can't still talk shit . I just already boycotted consumerism years ago
Whereas all corporations are fundamentally concerned with the bottom line, you should shop at those whose actions are ostensibly less evil. Even if Target’s commitment to these issues in the past was merely performative, that performance should be rewarded.
It didn't commit to supporting their workers even on a performative level.
I shop at stores that pay their workers better, like Costco and union shops, when possible
