RE: More than 500,000 boycott Target over transgender bathroom policy
wonder how many are just signing so they can share it on social media and then will be back at Target next week.

A man has no business using the womens restroom period.
Only a degenerate or a disgusting fool would argue otherwise.

Doubtful since 10 million would be a little under half of their retail traffic in a month.

10 million is nothing compared to the 20 million perverts who are going to dress like women to fill someone using the restroom.

727,000 signatures/26,000,000 monthly customers = 2.79%
number of lgbt in the US +/- 3.6%
number of trans people =700,000
More signatures in opposition than there are trans people in the US.
Percent of target customers in opposition approaching total percentage of lgbt in the US.
Target has every right to have this sort or policy (at least they do in NC). It will be interesting to see how far they carry this. I propose they just take the men and women's signs off the bathrooms and put the unisex sign up. If people want to go to the bathroom there its up to them. There is no point in have a men's and women's room if either can use the other.

They definitely have the right to the policy. I also have the right to decide where I shop and spend my dollars.

I assure you, their stockholders care. This was an issue that Target need not have joined. The potential sales growth to take this stand is zero. The potential loss will be a negative. Stockholders on the whole don't care about social issues, they care about profits.

Past Performance is Not Necessarily Indicative of Future Results.
sales are down, they are rolling out the $10 min wage, and now this one. we'll see how the market reacts come earnings time. I'll still go there as the Wal-Mart near me is trash.

It's the shiny object syndrome.
Distract folks with insignificant crap like this made up "controversy" and perhaps they don't focus as much on their unemployment, under employment or that of friends and family. Or the countless number of other issues currently spiraling out of control.

That's like saying "That 350lb woman is sexier than that 450lb woman."
Both stores are trash and cater to trash.
Well I personally prefer Dollar General. I don't have to get all dressed up to go there.
