Is the goal general harm, or directed harm that may have a positive result? If Target changes course and takes a moral stand (even if that decision isn’t made for all the right reasons), that’s worth more than hurting Target and Walmart equally.
You should be shopping at Costco by default anyway. They are awesome. There are a ton of membership benefits beyond just shopping at the warehouse! (Costco Next, HVAC deals, auto financing, etc). You can sometimes pay for your entire membership with one transaction.
Ain’t got no Costco to go to personally. I go to a regional chain, but I am suspicious of the prices sometimes (why are the 12 packs of sodas often on sale for 14.88?)
TBF, Target largely brought this on themselves before the DEI stuff. They’re more expensive here than a proper dept store, and everything is locked in plastic and takes forever to get.
Yes im pissed at Target but if alll the extra sales are going to Walmart, that’s worse.
Yeah this is a terribley stupid plan. Give Walmart a monopoly an objectively worse company
Looks like its down slightly too.

Costco has increased foot traffic for 13 consecutive weeks, so not a bad guess people are going there.

Unfortunately Costco is just as shitty as all the rest of the huge american corporations. They’re just better at PR than most of the others.
Costco is the shiniest turd in the shit basket of mega grocery corporations. If I have to pick one, Im picking the best of the worst.
I’ve certainly seen worse rationalizations, cheers.
Costco also treat workers better.

Can’t boycott what I already wasn’t using.
You were just ahead of the boycott curve!
Nope both are being protested against.
