Target’s Stock Down 5 Percent, Brand Damaged, By Pro-Transgender Bathroom Rules…

So you think a penis check law will stop the extremely few criminals- you don't think 'gun' laws stop criminals.

FYI all the penis check law does is stop TGs from using the bathroom of their choice. Stops law abiding people from using a bathroom.

I reckon you have never been inside a Target store- you more Walmart guy I guess. Targets these days have been built without separate male or female fitting rooms- no 'perverts' lurking there to film women. No incident of TGs assaulting 12 yo girls in the bathrooms either.

Rant, whine, rave Target doesn't pander to the Walmart crowd, stocks rise and fall- Target took a far bigger hit from the credit card hack than this and is quickly recovering. Target's market niche isn't fighting it out with Walmart, they go for a more upscale guest.

Please continue to shop elsewhere and please never own Target stock... :peace

Call 'em as I see them, if you had you'd know the fitting rooms have been uni-sex long before this new Target policy...

"And thank you for shopping at Walmart"... :peace

Whose rear end did you get this bit of wisdom out of?

Conservatism has a rule: things we do must be sustainable, no matter how tempting it is to act like a moron.

Liberalism has a rule: we do things that make us feel good, and f*** the consequences.

Joel Hardman wore female rubber mask and wig to spy on women in public toilets | Daily Mail Online
A student who wore a female rubber mask while spying on women in shopping centre toilets has escaped jail.
Joel Hardman, 22, also put on a jet-black wig so he could slip into the women's toilets unnoticed at the Bullring, Birmingham.
The MA student, described in court as an intelligent man, got sexual gratification from listening to women use the toilet - and even made audio recordings.
Hardman, who had previously admitted watching someone during a private act for his own sexual gratification, said he initially went into the University of Birmingham's women's toilets

A man was arrested in Tengzhou city, Shandong province after confessing to dressing up as a woman so that he could spy on ladies using the toilets.

typical fear mongering.
 
OP, you do realize that just about every single large retailer had that same blip in that same time-frame, right? I think this has far more to do with the 'death of retail' rather then any boycott. Maybe a "million person" petition that is entirely web-based and unverifiable doesn't have the gravitas you might think it has?

Just a thought.

Target’s stock price and its favorability among shoppers are crashing as the public rebukes the retail giant for ignoring their vigorous protest against mixed-sex changing rooms and bathrooms.

The company’s stock was two cents shy of $84 on August 19, when it revealed it would not allow shoppers to use single-sex bathrooms or changing rooms. Instead, all rooms were opened up to anyone claiming to be of either sex. As of 4.00 p.m. Friday, the stock had dropped almost $4.50, down to $79.50.

[glow=yellow,2,300]That’s a huge loss of 5 percent in stock value, costing shareholders roughly $2.5 billion in company value.[/glow]

In between those two dates, more than one million people had signed a boycott petition sponsored by the American Family Association. Public opinion also shifted strongly in favor of single-sex bathrooms.

The damage to Target’s favorability is also being tracked by YouGov’s BrandIndex service.

By April 27, “The percentage of consumers who would consider buying items at Target the next time they want to go shopping at a department store dropped from 42% to 38% over the past two weeks,” YouGov reported April 29. That’s a 10 percent drop, likely fueled by social-media conversations via Facebook and various news sites.

Were you as supportive of Target when they said they would not allow firearms in their stores? .............Opps?

Hmm, hasn't stopped me from shopping at Target.

The few times I've used their restrooms I could see no problem. They are single person use with locks on the doors.

As far as I can see, at least at the stores I've been to, all this does is open up two restrooms for people to use instead of having to stand in line for the one marked "male". :shrug:

***holds nose***, you won't find me in the boy's room unless it is absolutely necessary. Like pee my pants if I take another step. You guys can't aim, and it stinks. There isn't enough Lysol to convince me otherwise. :)

Now, are we sure the stock prices feel due to this peepee fiasco, or could it be for other reasons?

Actually my mistake. When I hit "who quoted me" it showed your post instead of the post below and I just "knee-jerk" responded. :3oops:

I support the Second Amendment but I also support the rights of property owners to dictate who and what can be allowed on their property.

If a business doesn't want customers to carry guns on their premises, then a gun-owner has a choice. Leave it in the car, or don't shop there.

Fair enough, and we both agree with a business being able to allow what they want in their buildings.

Yeah, and the online petition is baloney, you could sign up as many times as you want. Target doesn't need a bunch of inbred homophobic trash...that market is owned by Wal-Mart.

Correlation is not causation. Do you know how silly it is to look at a day or two of a stock price -- or even a week or two, and conclude as you and the silly OP, and various and sundry RWNJ's out there are doing?

Stocks are in a constant state of flux, and most drops or increases in price can't be tied to one specific event:

Temporarily. Most business analysts are saying this won't really hurt Target in the long run.

1 million Americans is still only less than 1% of Americans. And there is little way to verify if half of those are real or Americans.
