So is this transgender shit the reason sales are down and the store's been dead the last week or so?

I can't believe Spot is doing this.

I bet that if you were to go back in time 50-60 years and replace "transgender" with "colored" or "black" then your opinion would mold quite easily with the times. Whether or not you agree with someone's position is irrelevant. Imagine if you were in a large group of people with a certain "difference" about yourself and you were being discriminated against. What would yo do?

I highly doubt the answer is "I'd change my own personal self to make sure I was accepted by everyone".

Yep. To all the people who say build a seperate bathroom for the Transgender people, they do not get that is basically segregation.

You are correct in the fact that this could and will have economic ramifications. There are a couple stores in our district who are already cutting hours due to sales tanking . Yes, if it keeps on Spot will have to start making cuts and as we all know that starts at the bottom. Ie less hours etc etc. However, on the other hand Spot doesn't have to bow down to a certain group of people ...just because that group doesn't agree with Spots policy. This is America...if you don't like something you have the right to protest you have the right to boycott but that doesn't mean you will get your way. If you don't like the bathroom policy...shop elsewhere. You don't have to sign a petition or call the store to tell them you are not shopping there any longer......they will know when people aren't showing up ! Spot isn't stupid they did their homework before they came out and reminded everyone of their bathroom policy. If Spot were to back down now they would be in far worse shape than they are now. This will pass in time...we may lose some guests. However, I am sure we will be gaining some new ones as well . I remember back in the early 90s preachers telling everyone to boycott Disney because they supported Homosexuals....Disney survived...they didn't cave in to protests etc. Mickey mouse seems to be doing pretty well these days .

Yeah, I'm old enough to remember the bible thumpers boycott on Disney, however, in this situation I think it's trying to compare apples and oranges. Disney provides a unique entertainment product with no other alternatives. They pretty much corner the market on theme parks on a national level. Retail however is and has always been a rather fickle buisness and Target is by no means the end all be all of retail. Absolutely dwarfed by Wal-Mart and several other competitors that are always waiting to swoop in and steal our market share. As for HQ doing their homework on this it would not be the first time they dropped the ball. Things that sound great in committee don't always translate well once implemented in the field (look at the Canada debacle). And it's not about bowing down to a certain segment of the population (although remember that can be interpreted both ways by both groups) I believe there should have been a more strategic announcement of this policy. Or at least clearer communication to ease the concerns of the general populace. Remember, Target's average shopper is a middle class woman typically married with children and if you scare them (whether it is a real fear or a made up one) then the damage is done and will need to be repaired. If this thing doesn't blow over soon I think HQ is going to have to walk back some of this policy or at least clarify provisions in the policy to show we are not favouring one group over another. Its all in the wording you know.
 
I never said what Spot did was right or wrong. I just think they could have handled it in a more tactful manner.

I don't quite know how they could have done it, though. That's for wiser people than me to decide...
 
Lol -- hilarious comment I found on facebook:

The next time I am in target and I have to use the bathroom, I am going to to the aisle that has the kitty litter. I gonna take a bag pour it on the floor and go on it. My species identity is that I am actually a kitty Kat trapped in a human body. If target interferes I am gonna sue for discriminating against my species identity. Meow! I am all for equality but this getting ridiculous

Is my former Target the only one without a family restroom?

In the SuperTarget I worked in, the family restroom was next to the pharmacy. A few times when we had issues in the mens/womens restrooms, we'd have to send guests to the Pharmacy restroom and get grief because they had to walk ALL the way over there. OK, don't go. But you still can't go into this one because it's flooded or because someone shat in the lav or something ridiculous. Public restrooms are the worst!

Being father to a young girl, I do see some harm in it. I'm not comfortable with someone that has a penis using the same restroom as my little girl.

If transgender people want their own bathrooms I'm fine with that, build them a 3rd shitter. I just don't care what someone "identifies as", if you have a penis you don't belong in a women's restroom.

Right because a man can't rape your little boy. And a woman can't rape your daughter.

Oh wait, those both can and do happen (I do not mean to imply you rape your child, I mean children get raped by the same sex, not your child specifically).

Not to mention, sexual orientation here has more importance then gender identity. ie. An adult female who is a lesbian is far more of a potential threat to your daughter than a person born as a man, who identifies as a woman, and is attracted to men is.

And no, I'm not promoting segregation of homosexuals/bisexuals, just pointing out the irony.
 
i think the next step is target will have to revisit it's bestiality policy. soon bestiality will be mandatory in target bathrooms.

target is obviously NWO and hell bent on destroying the family unit. I got to witness it when they started firing all the actual men and putting high strung effiminate men into leadership in the best case scenario, and in the worst case homosexuals.

There was no restroom by the pharmacy, either.
 
And so it begins..

I truly cannot tell if this is a joke or not

I'm going with he's serious. This is the same former TM who posted two years ago: what are some good ideas for abusing the knowledge you have as a former team member? I think enough time has passed that I'm going to start shopping at target as a guest, and just be like using the vibe against them.
