    I've boycotted Tarsh*t for over three years because they treat their employees like trash. A relative of mine worked there for a little while, and the stories they told of yelling, verbal abuse by managers in front of customers, physical violence like grabbing the employees, and "pay raises" of 8 pennies for all employees made me never shop there again. They even recorded the store manager's verbal abuse once and let me listen to how they were treated. I hope both sides boycott them!

    i worked at Walmart, I had managers act dismissive, kinda rude, frustated, somewhat pushy. But , I never got yelled at or grabbed. never saw anyone else being treated that way either.

    Just report the manager. He will get fired, and that problem is solved. A manager should hold his anger in check. A manager who lets his emotions run wild is not deserving of leadership, but should be fired.

    All companies should avoid involving themselves in political issues or cultural wars...picking sides is never a smart business move. Conservatives are not trying to eliminate your choice, we aren't preventing you from buying pride merchandise. However, we do not want to financially support a company that pushes an ideology that we believe is toxic and harmful. If Target wants to "target" children with their Pride merchandise, we will not shop there. Conservatives who boycotted cost Target 24 Billion dollars. The fact is that their are more Conservatives and Republicans in this country than LGBTQ people. Removing the Pride merchandise was the best financially decision for Target. LGBTQ has become a political issue, and Target, Disney, Bud Lite, and other companies shouldn't involve themselves in political issues...
