Target Down 5 Billion Since Embracing Trans Bathroom Policy

I get that, but you might be surprised. The butcher shop that I go to is pretty competitive. He buys his meat and seafood fresh and direct. It doesn't trickle down the ladder and take weeks to get there like the "meat" that's filled with so much preservative that it stays a glowing unnatural red with expiration dates a month out. Plus he doesn't have all the corporate red tape and overhead of ****** big corporate stores. Just for example his bacon comes from a local farm here and it's about 30% less than Wright's brand at Kroger, and it's better. Same with his 90/10 ground sirloin. Some of his fish is pretty expensive because it's flown in fresh and never frozen. I don't buy a ton of it but when I want good seafood that's where I get it.

Eating fast food is inexpensive as far as eating out goes, but it's expensive compared to buying healthy groceries.

Well, sure if you eat fast food every night. What I'm talking about is going grocery shopping and realizing that you have to spend twice as much to buy healthy groceries as you do non healthy groceries. Fruits, veggies, organic, etc costs one hell of a lot more than frozen pizzas, canned food and hot dogs.

I know, but a lot of families choose to go out to eat several times a week instead of buying less expensive healthy groceries... and then complain they can't afford to save for retirement, etc.

Every commercial road in suburban America has multiple McDonalds and Subways as well most other chain resturaunt and independent restaurants as well. Restaurants weren't nearly as prevelent 30 years ago.

I avoid Target now. Refuse to shop there because of this policy. To be honest, I'd probably hit that joint 1 or 2 times a year only anyway. But I'm not leaving Target to go to Walmart. You make it sound like an either/or scenario. Plenty of other options.

The weird thing about Target, is women seem to be addicted to the place. My wife femgasms when she shops there. I think there's a dirty/poor stigma with Walmart that women would like to avoid when they go to Target. Plus there are a lot of FB jokes going around about going to Target for one thing and $100 later you leave.
 
Meh, where I live Walmart is right across the road from Target and it's a little cheaper.

Walmart has the strange effect of making me feel wealthier despite having spent $100 or so.

Walmart has that strange effect of making me feel the need to take a shower immediately upon exit.
 
I know a foreign exchange student who wanted to see her first Walmart because, and I quote, "that's where I heard the real Americans were."

Color yourself lucky! And keep the wife away from Bloomingdales and Nordstroms! Mine's additced to both.

Wal-mart is an exploation company.
 
I stopped in Target for the first time in a few years this week. I didn't have to go to the bathroom.

Oh hell no, we can't afford that either. Once a week....if that.

Lol, save for retirement, that is a joke. My wife and I had the genius idea to first go to college for Bachelors degrees, then went on to get Masters degrees, which pretty much guarantees that we will never save for retirement as long as we live. We would be better off financially if we would have gotten Associates degrees and stopped there. Instead we are neck deep in the world of the college loan scam. I've been paying on my loan religiously for 15 years......I owe $8,000 more on the Principle balance than I did when I walked out with my Degree. That's right, it's going up, not down. I am on income based repayment which isn't enough to overcome the interest each month. Multiply that by 15 years. If I paid the full amount each month it would be about $700......my wife's would be another $700 a month if we weren't on income based repayment on hers as well. I suppose we could pay the full amount every month as long as we didn't pay any other bills or buy food.

If any of your kids tell you they want to go to Community College instead of a 4 year University, DO NOT talk them out of it. They are making a sound financial decision.

I have a BA and an MBA but I went back to school at the age of 53 for a two year Associates Degree in Mortuary Science so I could make more money. Life is funny.

I have much younger cousins who are in college now. I tell them my kids are going to go to U of Phoenix online. They laugh and think I'm kidding.
 
My daughter is going to WSU for a 4 year degree in dental hygiene. She could have gone to a 2 year school and gotten a job right out of that, but a few years down the road, she would have had to have gone back for her Bachelor's Degree in Dental Hygiene anyway. So she decided to look into a 4 year college that offered the program. She will miss out on 2 years of work, BUT...with the degree, she will get paid as much to start out as someone with 2 years experience and just an associate's degree.

The beat goes on. Target sticks to their guns, and Libs keep saying problems won't arise. Stupid policies yield sometimes nefarious or even dangerous results.

Target urged to end transgender bathroom policy after 2nd man caught recording women undressing

"After this latest incident, I hope Target finally recognizes the importance of protecting its customers, especially in environments where they can be at their most vulnerable. I am offering them the resources of my office to help assist them in improving their safety procedures," Paxton said in a message to Target last Friday.

Paxton was referring to police reports searching for a man who peered over a changing room wall with a cellphone at a Target store on Northwest Highway at Abrams. It is the second such incident reported, after a similar crime occurred back in May at a Target store in Frisco, Texas.

AFA, a conservative group that has lead a nationwide boycott against Target for allowing men to go into women's bathrooms and dressing rooms if they identify as female, praised Paxton's inquiry, arguing that he is taking a "courageous stand against Target's unsafe and dangerous policy."

Seems, since Target's changed their policy, there have been 10 incidents in Target stores alone where (as we've all said), predators will abuse the law.

Target's Transgender Bathroom Policy Leads to 10 Crimes Targeting Girls Undressing, Says AFA

The American Family Association has compiled a list of 10 cases to showcase why Target's bathroom policies that allow male customers who identify as female to go into women's bathrooms and dressing rooms is dangerous to women and children.

"The overwhelming evidence continues to pile up against Target's policy to allow men into women's restrooms and dressing rooms in its stores," AFA President Tim Wildmon wrote on Thursday.

AFA then listed 10 cases this past year of men found recording, taking photos, or peering into women's restrooms at Target stores nationwide:

  1. Man wanted for taking photos inside Target changing room
  2. Transgender woman caught filming in Target changing room
  3. Man seen reaching under stall with phone in Target dressing room
  4. 'Peeping Tom' reported in Target dressing room
  5. Teen girl reports dressing room peeper at Target
  6. Police Looking for Target Peeper
  7. Target peeping Tom pleads guilty
  8. Man Arrested for Taking Photos of Woman in Target Bathroom
  9. Peeping tom caught filming women in Brentwood Target dressing rooms
  10. 'Peeping Tom' took pics of people in Target bathroom
In one case, a transgender woman was arrested in Idaho back in July for recording an 18-year-old girl in the Idaho Falls Target store.

Shaun Smith, the accused, later admitted to having recorded the videos for "the same reason men look at pornography."

In another story at a Target store in New Jersey earlier in September, a man was caught taking pictures of women changing in the stall next to him, though he fled the scene in a car.

Target has repeatedly defended its policies, and has said that "guests are at the center of everything we do and our commitment to creating a safe and secure shopping environment in our stores is unwavering."

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton revealed last week that he has sent several letters to Target asking the retail giant to put together safety measures concerning its policies on bathrooms and changing rooms, but revealed that he has not received any response.
