    Target definitely took a hit, but I think that actually proves the point of the question. The backlash was loud and visible, but do we know that shoppers haven’t already returned to normal now that it’s out of the current news cycle?

      Target stock is down but it is hard to tell. There have been some mismanaged Target stores in my general area that have closed, but there are also many that seem to be run well and are always full of people. You can compare it to Walmart but I don’t think it is a 1:1 comparison since most Walmart locations are also full blown grocery stores and they typically have more locations in suburb/exurb/rural areas that have fewer shopping options.

      Yeah man, otherwise we wouldn’t be participating in this conversation right?
