"A boycott against Target over its bathroom policy seems to be costing the retailer more than anyone expected.
The boycott started in April after Target announced that it would welcome transgender customers to use any bathroom or fitting room that matched their gender identity.
The announcement triggered an immediate backlash. Critics said the policy opened the door for sexual predators to victimize women and children inside the retailer's bathrooms, and more than 1.4 million people signed a pledge to stop shopping at Target unless it reversed the policy.
But Target didn't back down.
Now shopper traffic is declining for the first time in years, and the company is installing single-occupancy bathrooms in all of its stores to give critics of the policy more privacy. The new bathrooms, which already exist in a majority of Target stores, are costing Target $20 million to install, Fortune reports.
The company revealed its traffic declines last week when it reported second-quarter earnings.
Target's same-store transactions, which is how traffic is measured, fell 2.2% in the second quarter. Overall, sales fell 7.2% to $16.2 billion."
All these progressive morons had to do was WHAT THEY JUST DID FOR 20 MILLION BUCKS....simply put in single use bathrooms for the statistically non-existent number of mentally ill people who don't understand what sex they are. But noooo....they had to jam their liberal bullsh*t down the throats of the other 99.999% of their customer base.
I hope they go bankrupt.
So having little connection with not only their labor force but in many cases their very customer base..... they have placed an inordinate amount of value on being at the front edge of cultural PC. Almost little contests of who can be the most culturally and..... whatever.... sensitive. They are clueless as to those who support them.
Hopefully all this blows up in their upturned noses.....
On a related note, I never understood the "I don't do boycotts" mentality. Boycotting is nothing more than exercising one's market force. We do it everyday with every buying and selling decision we make. To remove one's higher order thinking from market decisions is a deliberate act of serfdom.

Big 10% off EVERYTHING sale this Sunday at Target. Hopefully in 6 months it'll be a 60% off everything in the store including the shelving and fixtures.
And I don't need Target when I've got Farm & Fleet!!!
I don't do target, and Casey's are generally good places for gas and a quick bit to eat. The cheesy potato bites are too good.
I have some bad news for you guys that are upset about the target policy though.....the men who wear women's clothing have been using the woman's bathrooms everywhere they go for decades at least.
Law or no law you will have men using the restroom with your wives and daughters and there is really nothing you can do about it.
Doesn't mean you get rid of the law/rule. Removing/changing the law is essentially tacit social approval or even encouragement of bad, deviate or unsafe behavior.
