Good for them... This is what you get when you catered to the mob instead of sticking to sound business decisions. I remember when the Leftie/Demmie's rioting, looting and destruction was happening in 2020-2021 and Target came out saying they will make their stores more black friendly.

I don't shop at Target so it doesn't matter to me... I do my grocery shopping at a local grocer and other at shopping centers.
