Haters Launch Anywhere But Target Xmas Campaign



The Christian Post reports:

Conservative groups critical of Target’s bathroom policies are stepping up their boycott against the chain store giant this coming Christmas, urging conservative shoppers not to support what they call a “radical social agenda.”

Lance Wray, executive director of watchdog group 2ndVote, said that last year its #AnywhereButTARGET campaign helped see a three percent drop in sales over the Christmas season for Target, along with a 43 percent profits decrease.

USA Today reported earlier in November that Target’s latest quarter report, ending Oct. 28, brought good news for the company with an uptick in sales and traffic.

Target revealed that sales at stores open for a year or more “crept up 0.9% in the three-month period ending Oct. 28, while overall sales rose 1.4% to $16.7 billion as compared to $16.4 billion in 2016.”

They had obviously had huge crowds thursday night because the barriers were up to funnel the register lines all the way down the aisle of the store, and on friday there were extra workers there just to direct shoppers into those lines. So, didn't seem to be a lack of shoppers...and this was in red red upstate ny.

Better than going to the conservative cesspool that is WalMart, by miles.

themselves down the septic tank when they equate having to pee as a radical social agenda. They just need to put a lid on it.

Conservative heads would explode if they couldn't shop there anymore.
