Target is never getting my money again, unfortunately most people's memory is as short as a goldfish
So much of what is wrong with the world in general these days seems to come down to how fucking brainless and easily manipulated people are. Advertising essentially becomes mind control and that's why the whole economy seems to revolve around who can shove the most ads into people's faces.
Target will pay for the Facebook ads, and mindless morons will start wandering right back in again, buying the next stupid fucking Stanley Cup or labubu or beanie babies or cabbage patch doll or monchichi...
That's rather unfair, actually. I've had goldfish and they have much better memories, and better attention spans, than many humans.
Fully agree, the last time I went was once this year, and I paid with a gift card I got from before their bending the knee, so it only took assets away from them. Other than that, I will not shop there.
you should. its like the premier hard mode for shoplifting without getting caught!
Which I find funny because goldfish actually have pretty good memory.
Target ain't doin' so hot because of people like us boycotting them. There are other factors, but they're going the way of Sears.
Sears was actively hollowed out by vultures, and before that they were slow to modernize.
