I don't buy stuff from #Target.

However, their website has the best search that I've found anywhere. They have a very large selection of filtering options. I have definitely used their search to find the product I need, and then I source it somewhere else.

My QP has fragrance sensitivities, so finding household and personal items without added fragrance is important to me.

@randahl For years Target had embraced diversity initiatives, which gave LGBTQ+ folk, people of color, and every marginalized community a safe place to shop. It was a viable alternative to places like Walmart. Now there is no discernible difference between Target and Walmart, except for higher prices at Target. Target has no reason to exist in the current market. #Target.

Swing and a miss. Target's reputation took a well-deserved hit because of their actions, which were rightfully perceived as shitty.

"To be successful in the future, we must continue to preserve Target's reputation. Our reputation is largely based on perceptions," the document states."

I just had a weird experience at Target—my girlfriend and I were bra shopping and this fucking sketchy crew-cut white guy in jeans and a kinda well-worn—not quite clean—white undershirt is keeping an eye on us and another woman. Then he speaks into a hidden collar mic. I couldn't quite hear him, but it sounded like he was talking about a woman.

Then, as we were checking out, he was over by the restrooms—still looking sketchy as fuck—and watching people (including us). Then I caught him following us out, but he turned around and went back in after a few feet.

We got back to the car and I told my partner my observations. I thought he might be private security...or some conservative transvestigator fucker—it really could have been either (or both) with the way he was acting.

We decided to go back in to make sure he wasn't hassling anyone. Sure enough, he was still looking sketchy AF and following people around the women's section and towards the exit. So we reported him. The lady who worked there told us he's their security, and that she'd let him know we said he should be less fucking sketchy.

Dollars vote. Be careful who you support. The NAACP has long used boycotts, and they have a short list to avoid now due to rollback of DEI. Let's all work together, ok?

NAACP's Boycott List:
Google (all google services, google pixel phones, everything)
Meta (facebook, instagram, threads, WhatsAp)
McDonalds
Walmart
Tractor Supply
Target
**My additions below:
Amazon
Ford
Toyota
Nissan
John Deer
Harley Davidson

Jack Daniels

I'll get back to photography someday I promise, sorry it's been more information lately on my page, but I want to promote helpful knowledge of easy things to do to help.

Well, originally, I was going to pre-order the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle, but I got an error and crash problems, along with other people that tried to pre-order this, as even other people were lucky to pre-order the new console online, but for others, including me, they didn't, as I tried with Walmart, Target, Best Buy late last night at around 12am Midnight EST/11:00pm CST on April 23rd.
