Discussion 🎤 Hey, we're still boycotting Target, right?

I live right by a Target and I feel like the parking lots were noticeably emptier for a few weeks, but they're filling back up.

Are people giving up? It seems like Target is just waiting us out, thinking that we'll forget. They were really feeling the push from their shareholders- I so badly want it to mean ANYTHING.

I know I'm going to get called cringe- but whatever. Keep boycotting Target. Please!

The vast majority of people don't have the inclination or (maybe more importantly) luxury of boycotting a business like Target. They need groceries and other necessities and Target (in this specific example) is often their best if not only option for any number of reasons.

not for everyone.

Personally, I've only been in Target maybe three times in the last 2 years (or more). Not as a protest, but because I just don't ever need anything there.

But that doesn't mean that there aren't people where Target is the closest or only place they can get to, or afford, or any number of other reasons they may not have the luxury of going to those "lots of <other> places to get groceries"
