Ha! Retail giant Target slashes earnings estimates, citing “challenging environment”

Target is learning the hard way that if you alienate a majority of your customers, they’ll find somewhere else to shop.

Since the retail chain decided to let men in the women’s restroom, many moms and dads have simply taken their shopping elsewhere.  This was the first time I’ve ever done my back-to-school shopping exclusively at Wal-Mart, and it felt great.

In fact, I’ve cut up my Target card and have only purchased one item since they instituted their new bathroom policy —  regrettably, that was because a mother registered there (and only there) for her baby shower.

Billions have been lost, and it could be due to a customer revolt that called for a boycott that has attracted at least one million people.

Target CEO Brian Cornell didn’t appear the least bit concerned, further thumbing his nose at his customers by blowing off the boycott. He told Fortune magazine that only a “handful of stores across the country have seen some activity and have been impacted.”

But today, the retail giant slashed its earnings estimate, citing a “challenging environment.”  I’ll say!

Shoppers know that the REAL “challenging environment” is the one they created.

The one in which they ask parents to let their daughters use the bathroom next to grown men…  the one in which they ask sexual abuse victims to use the bathroom with grown men.
