I made a bunch of these and have stopped in at Target and pasted them on the restroom doors. I also put copies up in both the children's and women's department.
I had some shopping to do yesterday, so I stopped in and put some more out. The one I stuck on the women's restroom last week was still up! Walked through the store and put out some more copies. Went shopping next door for groceries.
The bathroom and weapons policy are generated by corporate and have to be implemented by store management...who are probably just as uncomfortable and oppose these mandates as the general public in most "sane" locales.
I think that putting the signs where I do make shoppers more aware than just signing electronic petitions.
BTW: I try to open carry whenever I visit a Target store...and have yet been confronted by any Target employee or manager. Heck, never had a comment by a shopper, either.
What do mean by saying "Targets Value Drops 1.5 Billion"?
Edit: Crap, just noticed it was you, sorry to post on your thread no need to ban me I won't post again...
""Amid the turmoil, the company’s stock edged down from $83.98 per share on April 19 to roughly $81.33 in April 28.
That’s a loss of $2.65 per share, which chops the company’s stock market value by $1.5 billion, down to $48.8 billion.""
It's still dropping, it;s now below $80.00.
The problem is not transgenders..the problem is any male or female who might attack or rape a physically weaker male or female. I choose to not put myself in that position so therefore, Target will not get my business.
And still falling:
Shares of Target Corporation Common Stock (TGT) have fallen from $84.14 a share on April 19, the day Target made the “Inclusivity” announcement, to $79.27 a share as of Friday afternoon — a drop of 5.8 percent in 10 days.
As of 4 p.m. Friday, the stock price had fallen 2.52 percent that day alone.
According to the Family Policy Institute, the drop in Target stock prices “would represent a corporate loss of over $2.5 billion.”
This is what happens when you allow men to use the women’s restrooms. People revolt. People take action.
Over 1 million have now signed the #BoycottTarget pledge, and that number is sure to rise.
Sorry, Target. But your days at the top may just be coming to an end.

Target officials make Bernie supporters look intelligent and rational by comparison.

Go figure.
Since then I make no effort to conceal, and during summer with shorts and t-shirt, quite obvious. To date, not one comment.
With the latest, been to Target twice with my printouts and have made no effort to conceal sticking them on rest room doors or in kids and women's departments. Staff may have removed them, but (again) not one comment. One of the cashiers whom I got to know when my son Smith worked at the store and I often chat. I asked her about the bathrooms and she said that most of the female employees are uncomfortable with the new policy.
WW...ain't gonna happen. If given the opportunity, I might as a woman if she felt uncomfortable if I joined her in the ladies loo. ;o)
In news today, Target CEO was quoted that in spite of the protest and stock drop, he felt the decision was a good one.
My only problem is whether to change my wife's RX to another pharmacy. The staff at Target has been great and have gotten to know them well over the years.
Oh, wait, it is still very near a 5 year high.
