There's a group within the business typically referred to as "Buyers" (although I'm sure they've got a fancier name) whose jobs revolve around negotiating the acquisition of products for the storefront. Sometimes they operate at a very high level (Target negotiating a deal with Martha Stewart to carry a particular line of clothing or household goods) and sometimes they're local (the local storefront negotiating a deal with a produce wholesaler to stock the grocery section with eggs).
If people are melting down over Target carrying Bud Light, then they're probably mad at some senior executive way outside their reach.
But if they're just furious because of the rainbow colored kitche in the discount bin, I suppose that could be a local manager's fault.
