Target Begs Customers to Come Back With One-Day Sale, Building Special Transgender Bathrooms

Yesterday they offered a first-time-ever storewide sale. And that comes on the heels of them suffering their first time ever quarterly decline.

And that seems to be due to a boycott over their crazy Whatever Bathroom You Like, Zir policy.

4 There is a Target ( or, Tarzhay - it's French) a few blocks from my house. We now take the longer trip to shop elsewhere because of this idiotic policy. Glad to see they are suffering for their politically correct garbage.

5 Store here is a Super Target... right next door to a Super Walmart...

One is always crowded... one is almost always empty....

One a GREAT business decision!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^THIS
Their anti-2nd amendment policies frosted my b*lls, but then they announced their LGBTQABCDEFG stance and have lost my business forever. Well until I can escort my wife or daughter to the bathroom with my open carry weapon of choice into the store and have the store manager compliment me and my accessories.

9 The best part is that it's not an organized protest, they've just pissed off most of the country by shoving their leftism down America's throat and America is answering.

Makes me wonder what's going to happen in November when that many people are so pissed off at lefties they'll just quietly stop going there.

A real people's revolt and it's ticking off all the people who've been hoping for it.

... I'd just like stores to sell me shit. Don't advocate politics to me. Along the same lines - I'd like the few entertainment avenues I still follow to just entertain me. Stop trying to re-educate me.

Because unlike Alex the Chic - I will walk away. I don't care. If it's all politics all the time - I will opt out.

Seriously? That is awful! I guess all the Christmas stuff was just too much for them to bear.

I was also a little angry when I heard about all their SJW contributions and that they bought things made in Haiti produced by the Clinton factories there. Strike two.

Strike three was the bathroom thing. And now anyone who complains is exiled to the little bathroom, which should be reserved for all the transgenders.

67 @57, what's so ridiculous is that all of the Targets (and WalMarts and other shopping centers) already *had* single stall, unisex bathrooms. They're the family and/or handicapped bathrooms. Since that already existed, why did they decide that #justice called for men being able to use the women's bathroom?

74 this was such a strange stand to take... one thing I'm very grateful for any time I am out of the house without the wife and have the kids along is a family bathroom. I have three little girls. It's difficult when we are out, since I don't want to bring them in the mens room if I can help it, I can't go in the ladies room.

I took my oldest to her first big league baseball game this summer, we picked seats right by a family bathroom, it was great. We go to the movies, they don't have them, it's not so great. We went to a different theater, a bit further away that happened to be near a Target. 85%+ of their stores already have family bathrooms, so we went there after the movie to use the bathroom and look at toys. It was great.

Why take this stand when it's a fairly minimal effort to upgrade the 15 or 14% of your stores that don't already have the separate rest room?

Weiner told Huma if she left him, he'd spill the beans on everything.

Yes, I would not even consider shopping there again unless they first publicly confessed the idiocy of their original position, apologized abjectly for their foolishness and nastiness, and promised every customer a 50% discount on any one item, as a sign of their sincere contrition.

The only reason she married Weiner was 1) he was gonna be the Mayor of New York and maybe governor someday. Or maybe senator. And, 2) Huma is also into kink and fooling around, and they both probably have Herpes.

101 Check Target's stock history, they were going down way before the boycott.

The trajectory steepened after their idiotic announcement about bathrooms

Posted by: Christopher Taylor at August 29, 2016 05:35 PM (39g3+)

102 Building Special Transgender Bathrooms

Which all Target employees and management should be forced to use. They belong with the perverts and mental defectives.

I wouldn't go to Target unless I was sure that every purchase I made was costing them money.

Speaking of perverts and mental defectives, I had been watching the golf tournament yesterday and left the TV on CBS. When I turned it back on it was 60 Minutes. I was just about to change the channel when I saw that it was this insane piece about a girl swimmer (with all-American high school times, they claimed) who got into Hah-vahd to swim on the girl's team. But ... by the time she got to Hah-vahd she claimed she was a guy. She wanted to swim on the girls team, still, and just "be a guy" the rest of the time ... but for whatever reason that was eventually nixed and the chick decided to swim on the boys' team (LOL).

The whole piece was about how everyone at Hah-vahd was so accepting of the mental cripple (who had a double mastectomy .. but kept her hoo-hah). The idiot coaches were "amazed" that none of the guys on the team had any objections (as if having a slow swimmer who would only barely make the team, if that, would bother anyone). It was hysterical.

And she was a really cute girl, too. Shame. But the punchline came at the end when the chick said that she hadn't ruled out having kids! So much for "wanting to be a guy".

The way certain segments of society are having a grand old time making fun of these damaged personalities by humoring and encouraging their insanity is really something.

Anyway, glad to hear this girl will have a special bathroom at Target, now. After all, she is probably pretty embarrassed when she has to piss and has such problems with the urinals in the boys room.

If you remember back 1-3 years ago, you may have heard of Market Basket. Family owned grocery store chain with a lot of familial discourse. One brother took control away from the other (Arthur) (who was running everything) and the customers and employees reacted. Market Basket lost serious business. Arthur scrounged up financial backers and bought his brother out and everything is right in the world again.These protests work. Maybe not quickly, but they are effective.

Their policy change seemed particularly stupid since it seems unlikely that the SJW's would shop at Target anyway. So all they did was piss off middle America, their biggest consumers.

112 Two points:
1) If it should be the State's call, then why the hell are the Feds involved?
2) A law should be written clearly enough that a literate individual can understand what they require. "Reasonable accommodations" is about as clear as my teenage complexion.

I don't know why the Fed should be required either. Seems Indiana - NYC - or Orange County FL are more than capable.

And I agree on the second point. Building Codes aren't overly vague - States handle those by adopting consensus standards with exceptions. This could be done the exact same way - in the exact same standards.

121 Actually think I heard that same-store sales (the correct metric, I think?) were down at Target. Would need to see the same figures for Walmart and other peer competitors (?) over the same period to hazard a guess on impact of their idiocy.

I certainly stopped my occasional shopping there, and I certainly hope their situation is related to their absurd, arrogant, and offensive behavior.

But regardless, it's sort of one more log on the already-broken camel's back, when it comes to respect for the country and its institutions (which, via the normal responsiveness of large businesses and their boards/management to mainstream American culture, used to include iconic retail outfits).

Ace alluded to this below in his national anthem/NFL post. For cause, and only recently, I have my own serious change of comfort level with even symbolic aspects of "patriotism". The alien, loathsome behavior of American business (Apple is particularly despicable, as is Google) regarding basic values of freedom, human dignity, and an open society puts them in the same category as your garden variety Third World dictatorship.

Posted by: Dr. Shatterhand at August 29, 2016 05:31 PM (Uy8SG)

You know that separate restrooms are not satisfactory to the LBQTWTFBBQ crowd, right? This has been the fight all along--"making" someone use a "separate" bathroom makes them feel separated.

They MUST be permitted to go all the way across the line. It cannot be enough to have an option to not use the men's room if you're not sure you're really a man, despite what your nether regions look like. It's actually understandable that a man who dresses like a not man might not feel comfortable in a men's room.

But we have to agree to their mad assertion that they are actual women now, with full rights and privileges accorded thereto, including being considered to be women in every part of the public sphere, in every way.

Having a 'door number three' puts them in a "none of the above" category, which apparently hurts them in their feelings.

I was forced to shop at Walmart simply because they were always most convenient. I have always loved Target as an alternative to the handicapped (in the head) drivers who tried to run you over in the Walmart parking lot then cut in front of you in line so you had to look at their fat, pajama-clad, tattoo-covered bodies while you wait your turn. I hope Target gets smarter and stops thinking they can impose their political will upon the people. We still have a choice. Don't forget that.

199 You've been duped, Ace. The new $20 million single-occupancy (one per store) bathrooms are for NORMAL people who don't want their children exposed to perverts. Everyone who doesn't use them is potentially exposed to any sex offender or other pervert who claims to "feel like a woman" today. One of them, in a dress and wig, was already arrested filming teen girls changing swim suites in an Idaho Target.

Target is down from $84 when the controversy started to about $70 today. Sales in Q2 were down 7.6 percent. Target has resorted to unprecedented one-day desperation sales to get foot traffic back up in the store. Both the COO and the CEO have both admitted that declining traffic since the boycott kicked in is their number one problem.

These are hard core pervert enablers, though, and why not? The CEO already got rich last year with an $18 million bonus. He really cares more about his perverted agenda than stockholder interest at this point. Moreover, Target is run by the mentally unstable trust fund liberal baby Mark Dayton.

Don't expect any common sense from these folks any time soon.

In sort of the same way that companies, when times are good, spend money like the good times will never end, and then when times turn a bit sour they become parsimonious prigs, this corporate 'arbiter of social justice' pendulum swung too far. The difference this time is that if they try to reverse their decision it is likely that many C level head will roll, because they will look like complete idiots. So best bet: They'll wait too long and they crash the company.

Another reason Amazon sucks. They wanted to put distribution centers in all/most of the states, so were going to be subject to sales tax in most/all sales anyway. So, they've done a 180 degree turn and now strongly support the federal internet sales tax initiative. It should be taught in textbooks as to how big corporations use cronyist government to crush small businesses - the innovators and the jobs creators.

I was standing by the door so I could continue hearing the music while I made arm and a head hole and a man walked by and asked if I needed help. I said I wanted to put it on under the roof so if he wanted to help he should get in the bathroom. He laughed and said he knew it was legal now but he wasn't ever going into a woman's bathroom cause he wasn't a perv! I think Hank Jr would have said "hell yeah!"

299 I use to have a weekly Target habit, still have my Red Target Visa card. It's been gathering dust for months now. The leftist idiots dismissively blew off their bread and butter customers like my SIL, my sisters and me for less than 1% of the population. That is what you call a really stupid marketing strategy. They can discount out the yin yang. The thing is, many of their customers, like me, have found alternative places to shop. It's called voting with your feet. Of course, they will never admit that their transgendered bathroom policy has been a complete debacle, they will blame it on something else (I read somewhere, they were blaming soft iPhone sales). I have to say, in light of the Christian businesses that were forced to participate in gay weddings, I'm finding Target's woes rather delicious! In one case, you have the government infringing on the rights of private businesses, on the other you have a private business trying to foist their PC social engineering on consumers. I love that there are still some people in this country who are standing up for what's right!

314 To be honest, we quit shopping at Target a long time ago, long before all this trannie-in-the-ladies-room nonsense. Before we moved out here to the lake, we lived very close to the Meyerland Plaza shopping center in Houston, and there is a big Target store there. Problem was, after the Target opened there it became very popular with the "PoC" crowd.

And truth be told, it was worth your life to walk across the Target parking lot to get to the store. This because the "angry black females" (as the wife so euphemistically put it) would try to run your ass over if you were of the Caucasian persuasion and trying to get to or from that Target. Not worth it then, certainly not worth it now.

It's not like the media reports, i.e. that dudes in dresses can use the women's restroom, while dykes in buzzcuts can use the men's restroom. No. Not at all.

The New Way of Being is that ALL restrooms (at least in liberal areas) will become ALL GENDER, so that, basically, anyone can go into any bathroom.

Which, actually, defeats the purpose of restrooms, which is to give people a private place AWAY FROM THE PRYING EYES OF THE OPPOSITE GENDER to do your business.

With this new system, you might as well just shit on the sidewalk.

(Which is what half the residents of San Francisco do anyway, but that's a different story.)

333 And I still say I am not boycotting them.

I don't know that Target could apologize enough in addition to changing their "Xe can use whatever changing or bathroom Xe wants" to get me back.

I can forgive honest mistakes but with the snooty nose in the air responses of "you are just being phobic" they had to warnings of "this is a mistake" they can join Woolworths as chains that don't exist anymore. And AFAIK poor Woolworths never told any customers that they were redneck misanthropes.

336 Did not sign the petition but just quietly boycotted Target and stopped going there. Actually prefer Wal-Mart as it is closer and cheaper on most items.

Since there are soooo many clueless CEOs around, I hereby offer to be a sounding board for their next brilliant retail idea. And for the bargain rate of only $500 per hour. You know, just to help them get in touch with that small niche of, what, 50% of the country. As a public service!

337 Sigh ...

Now everybody is going to corgy along and read about Ace's squats - or non squats - or some chic touching his taint. Or something.

This thread will die.

Sigh ...

339 323 Heh. My first grade granddaughter told us yesterday they make her think too much about math at school. "I have to go play to get the math out of my head," she opined.

That's cute when a six-year old says that...

When the President says that to his handler, not so much.

340 Posted by: ScoggDog at August 29, 2016 06:25 PM Well yeah, I was only killing time until the health thread came up. Which is a bit weird since I am not very health gain oriented but I want to thank Ace for introducing me to the concept of of intermittent fasting. Even if that is a just a fancy term for routinely skipping 1 or 2 out of 3 meals per day it seems to work and be easy for me to do.

I've done enough in my lifetime to even want to do them anymore, much less read about some Ewok's self-journey towards a tighter derriere.

That's just...weird.

343 Haven't read the thread (had to make dinner) but I'm pretty sure those bathrooms they are building are for US. Transgenders can use them, too. But they are for those of us who don't want to go in a restroom with the opposite sex in there.

And this does NOTHING about the dressing rooms.

Sadly, not for a while. Been doing the full-time mom thing. I'm looking for paying work now, but it doesn't have to be in what used to be my field.

Truth is, I only picked those degrees coz they came with scholarships. Always out for a freebie, that's me.

345 The ironic thing about the separate bathrooms is that is EXACTLY what the Obama administration has said schools can't do.

Posted by: MayBee at August 29, 2016 06:39 PM (v2BrT)

346 Let's review the last few years:

1) SJW call for boycott of Chick fil A = stores have surge of customers
2) SJW call for boycott of Hobby Lobby = stores have surge of customers
3) SJW take a beloved movie, remake, and turn it into social commentary while insulting half the country = movie tanks
4) SJW influence big box store to go 'anything goes' bathroom which doubles down = store stock plummets from lack of sales

What is the correlation?

Posted by: Astronaut Achmed at August 29, 2016 06:46 PM (Kiz9M)

347 Yes, Target is tight with the Obamas.. Remember when Michelle did her photo op "shopping" at Target?

Posted by: RedMindBlueState
That reminds me of way back when my daughter was going to her firs day in first grade. She was afraid to go . I asked her why she was afraid, and she told me she did not know everything the first graders knew. I calmed her down and told her, that you will learn it when you go to first grade.

349 and regarding the idiots at target. I thought that their demographic was college educated women. Good idea alienating your core group.

350 THAT pj thread is what has me so livid.

Which thread are you talking about, Alana...?

Posted by: PJ at August 29, 2016 06:59 PM (cHuNI)

351 People will always make decisions like this so that the SJWs will love them, apparently unaware that the number of SJWs has been vastly overinflated by the Media.

Conversely, they are aware of the huge stink the SJWs can make if they're not catered to.

355 I've always like Target. Too bad they've become the Starbucks of toiletries.

Posted by: Fritz at August 29, 2016 07:20 PM (HVQlX)

356 "more than 1.4 million people signed a pledge to stop shopping at Target unless it reversed the policy"

I thought I signed a pledge that said I'll never shop at Target again. That's what I meant, anyway. Fuck reversing their policy. And fuck them.

359 Have a younger family member who is higher level management at Target, posted about the big sale on bookface, not a big response even from the usual SJW suspects. Bright kid, I'm sure they'll be fine after the fall.

361 Ob right, alana yes the people from the new comment system are not good.

Posted by: Pj at August 29, 2016 07:45 PM (cHuNI)

362 Happy addendum!

I just checked the pj thread, and it appears they have banished those guys. It took three days, but good.

I'm not going to frequent a web site where men (or women, for that matter) are allowed to call women body parts, comment about their body part's smell, etc.

Again, kudos to the AOS staff for being quick in moderating when necessary.

365 Anyone can use any bathroom
they "identify" with, they're just putting a $20 million fig leaf over
it with a third bathroom option.

Can't wait for Dodger Stadium to create 20,000 individual bathroom stalls. Should come under cost projections.

Posted by: Corona at August 29, 2016 08:23 PM (ragzU)

366 Target is not "building special transgender bathrooms." Wherever Target does not already have private (or "family," as they call them) restrooms, it is building them, for those who don't feel comfortable sharing the "anything goes" restrooms. Ghettoizing normal people, in other words.

The policy has not been reversed. The pervs still have the run of the place. Picture usually-empty "whatevs" restrooms, and a line to use the one-holer.

Posted by: Chas C-Q at August 29, 2016 08:32 PM (Y0Piu)

367 Fill up a shopping cart with perishable food and goods and then abandon it in a lonely corner of store when you suddenly realize you have to go to the bathroom and remember their policy so you have to run home.

Posted by: doesky at August 29, 2016 08:37 PM (XDfB3)

368 From what I read on social media - yes its about the bathrooms, but its also about the company basically telling loyal customers to fuck off with their concerns.

People are REALLY pissed. Most I hear from aren't going back no matter what.

Posted by: Fen at August 29, 2016 09:22 PM (GULnm)

369 Target, join Sears in the soon to be defunct club. WalMart was worried, glad you committed suicide.
