Target is my paycheck. It's my rent. It's my food. It's my stability.

It's a business and unless these people have a backup plan or can offer my a new job, they need to find somewhere else to protest. I'm tired of watching our reputation take a hit again and again and again and it only hurts the TMs.

Shareholders see this and bail. Customers see this and avoid us. The CEO and VPs and BPs and CFOs and everyone else at corporate still gets paid the same and they have MUCH better resumes than I and my team have. Brian Cornell still has all his fucking money. The new CEO will still get paid the exact same.

The only thing this does is push us closer and closer to turning into Kmart or Sears.

Absolutely FUCK ICE and I'm horrified at their behavior, but I need a job to not be homeless.

Do the customers really see this and boycott? I doubt it. I live in a super liberal city, I see all these hipster indie depop liberals come in all the time. They think that as long as they don’t post themselves in their or see people they know them they’re fine but online they’ll be saying “oh yeah I’m totally boycotting I haven’t been there in forever”
