Well I don't doubt tariffs and inflation are having an effect here. Let's not forget Target abandoned their DEI goals and programs.
Costco did not, they doubled down. There quarterly earnings will be reported on the 29th of May.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Got myself a costco membership specifically because of their recent position in the news. In the process of getting the card and official entering the store I had 3 different people stop me to complement my invader zim shirt. I've never felt so welcome before.
Last order was 2/9/25. I was a multi-day-per-week shopper at Target. Fuck them, I hope they burn.
Yeah, Target doesn't get any money from me anymore. I have a Trans Pride flag in my office window. We're incompatible.
Right on. Have a child who I thought Target supported, too. They’ll never get another dime from me without a multi-year binding effort and only after they’ve demonstrated their commitment for multiple years.
Trust is hard earned and easily lost. One would think a company headquartered in the same area as the George Floyd murder and a vocal sponsor of Minneapolis Pride would have a fucking backbone.
Fuck you, Target.
This happens every time. You'd think these people could spot a trend.
Pffft, I'll bet even some democrats still believe Republicans are better at managing the economy.
How is the Target CEO not fired yet?
Gosh, maybe insane trade wars are bad.
department stores are all going to die a painful death in the near future regardless except for like Walmart because they're too big to fail at this point
