#1 I have seen a big drop off in customers at my local Target. Cornell should have taken the opportunity to STFU, just like his competitors did. Bad quarter, bye bye Brian. If not sooner.

#2 What do the stockholders feel about it? I hear that Target lost about $2.5B (that's BILLION) of stock value since he made his pronouncement.
The Board will not be happy.

#3 There is respect for diversity. Then there is cramming your aberrant mental condition down other's throats. This is the latter.

#4 ...Will be interesting to see what happens next - Target doesn't dare reverse the policy, lest they be called Hateful, Uncaring, Etc., but if the numbers drop they gotta do something.

#5 Simply require single use. Have a sign occupied or available. Lock also. Temporarily provide port a potties to provide convince if needed. Have a required voice recording say "Deal with it" for the impatient ones.

#6 Target has doubled down on rape friendly bathrooms. They are counting on this all blowing over in a few weeks. This needs to go to the next level. 1. Cancel Target store cards. 2. Target marginal locations where a 5% drop in business means closing the store.
