Target Losing Sales Thanks to #AnywhereButTARGET Campaign
« on: January 20, 2017, 04:20:45 PM »
Thanks to the #AnywhereButTARGET campaign launched back in November by the conservative watchdog group 2ndVote in response their allowing transgender men into women's dressing rooms, the retail outlet's sales have suffered major losses. 

According to 2ndVote Executive Director Lance Wray, a recent financial statement shows the campaign has had an effect on the retail giant, which insulted Americans with its radically pro-transgender policy and made young girls vulnerable to men entering their restrooms. 

"[C]omparable sales during the combined November/December period decreased 1.3 percent," the report says. "For those two months, total sales decreased 4.9 percent, reflecting the impact of the December 2015 sale of the Company’s pharmacy and clinic businesses."

You don't actually read the things that you cut-and-paste, do you?  Let's see . . . Target went out and sold two of their sub-businesses, and you attribute the sales decline to the boycott.  Logic, simple logic, would tell anyone that the sales decline was from the sale of those two businesses.

Chase her even when she's yours.

Maybe the wrong thing was bolded?  It is the 1.3% in play but even that is no worse than the entire retail sector.

Unless extremely focused, boycotts rarely work (we DID get whoopie tossed out as spokehole for Weight Watchers).  The "trannies in the john" issue just doesn't resonate, especially since most people don't like to use retail store heads anyway. 

I think SHOWERS will be an issue soon enough but frankly in women's restrooms they have stalls anyway and no one can see anything for the most part.

This one is a loser.
