    I’m surprised if the boycott is having any effect since I’ve hardly heard anything about it since it started. Target around here is somewhat useful though I haven’t gone there since pre-boycott. Also when I’ve gone, I’ve often taken parking lot delivery, which might not count as foot traffic.

      I mean foot traffic being down for eight weeks in a row and then struggling financially is pretty much proof it’s working, right? We knew we wouldn’t bankrupt them in a few minutes, we’re trying to get their attention.

      Also - as far as the reason you’ve not heard much about it, corporate media doesn’t wanna show people the power they have. It’s simple.

        I know there are two events, 1) boycott and 2) foot traffic down. I’m not at all convinced that the two are related more than slightly. Foot traffic down = people are broke and/or more frugal because of Trump, maybe. I’d like to know how foot traffic has been for retail in general.
