Go easy on the Target bashing. They have been my employer for fourteen years, and have treated me well.  Some of the stuff here, e.g. Salvation Army banning, is incorrect or misunderstood.

I'm not bashing. I just don't see the point of shopping there. They just don't carry anything I particularly need that I can't get elsewhere for a better price and/or better selection.

As I recall, didn't they spend tens of millions adding single-stall bathrooms so that if you were unhappy with the situation, you could use them instead?


Funny that you didn't compare that amount to Target's annual profits, so you could tell us whether it is a "blip." In any case, they took a financial hit, and then wasted millions on a "solution," instead of just admitting they were wrong, and reinstating the policy that has been working for decades. All so they could accommodate a statistical "blip" of the population, who choose to reject the facts of their own biology. Oh, and normal women that don't want a man in their restroom can wait in line for one-holer restroom, while the bearded ladies get the run of the actual ladies' room. Good save, Target.

I like Target. There's one about 2 miles from the house and they have quality baby stuff.

And yes, I have devolved to the point where if something makes my wife happy it makes me happy.

Can I just point out that the wife might be happier if you used the word "evolved" instead of "devolved"?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the word you all are looking for is "emasculated".  =D

Does your wife like Target’s optometrists?

I've never known of Target to employ them, and my wife does not wear glasses or contacts. And huh?

Oh.  My mistake.  I assumed the most effective birth control possible would be to see you clearly.

He'll be here all week, folks! Remember to tip your waitress.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought
