Target Steps on the Rake -- Again

Target Steps on the Rake -- Again
Dec. 18, 2021

Quote
Brian Cornell is the CEO of Target. They pay him $20 million a year. He is an idiot who canceled Christmas (or tried to) for hundreds of kids in Florida.

For many years, Target partnered with local police to “Shop with a Cop” for Christmas. These are poor kids who may not get much from Santa.

Cornell canceled that this year.

In Florida, Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly sent Cornell a letter, and W4GVL posted it. The site is an apolitical Florida Gators fan site, so you can see Cornell struck a nerve. Hard.

After a little exposition about the program, Sheriff Staly said, "Then on October 6, 2021 my staff received an email abruptly cancelling the partnership. We were told Target retired the 'Heroes & Helpers' program and was 'introducing a new give-back program to serve our communities, anchored to our purpose of helping families discover the joy of everyday life. We’ll be expanding our impact and reach, partnering directly with local nonprofits organizations across the country to provide families in need with essentials, gifts and more.' When we informed Target staff that Flagler Sheriff’s Children’s Charities was a nonprofit 501(C)(3) the email was ignored and no response was received." ...

Cornell flushed more than a decade of goodwill down the drain.

But after BLM rioters looted his store in Minneapolis, you know what Cornell did? He gave the "black community" $100 million.  ...

Shop With a Cop is a big deal in many communities. Target really is out-woking itself.

I haven't been inside a Target store in ten years (we have one locally) and I see no reason to change that.

I think I've been there once in the past 10 years, and only because it was the only place that had a DVD copy of "1917."
 That's it, no more. Every few months, Target seems to come out with an even stupid approach to supporting wokism and leftists.

Even before this nonsense started, going back years to when they started eliminating Christmas and if I recall the SA, before they became racist asshats. Their prices were always higher than competition like Mervyns and their quality lower. They are an upscale Walmart without the savings and have a prima donna attitude. Almost 40 years ago my son worked at Target and they were crap back then.

I am guilty of shopping at Target. Other than Walmart there really is no other place to shop around here.  We have a mall across the bridge with some shops in it still open, but the neighborhood it's located in isn't very safe. I haven't been inside that mall in at least 15 years.

So, dare I ask, .....NOPE.  Is just a pedo and insane.  Hence the bathroom decision. What else?  Gay.

Target would much rather agitate that perverts follow your little child into a bathroom than to help kids have a good Christmas with people who should be respected.

They are trash to be thrown out.

I live a mile from a Target and never set foot in the place.
