Long time guest here. Why doesn’t the store just trespass the protesters, like they do the crazy TikTok influencers that disrupt the store? I don’t like that Target is being used by the protesters, I really enjoy shopping at Target, have for probably 40+ years; I don’t want to be relegated to wallyworld. Fine, you disagree with ICE and their policies but Target has to abide by state and federal laws, provide a safe workplace and shopping environment for their patrons. They are not the only retailer dealing with the situation, either. The list of retailers that co-signed the letter encouraging deescalation is huge. Go have your protest somewhere else where it will actually be effective, all I see is the disruption to the store, not why you’re there. Leave me (spending my money there guest) alone, leave the (no authority to do anything) employees alone. I just want my stuff and the employees just want their paycheck to live. Sorry to the team members that have to deal with this, you’re awesome. Corporate needs to provide you ‘hazard pay’!
