One of these is near me, and my parents fell for the bullshit. So now they're incrementally more afraid for me, because this store is making shit up, and the media is uncritically parroting it.
That target was within a block of two grocery stores and a drug store, all three of which had bigger signs and more parking. Also it was inside a building whose doors locked two hours before the Target closed, so nobody could get inside it. Also it's a fancy building that almost certainly charges them higher rent than their competitors are paying.
Yeah I'm sure it's theft, and not the fact that you decided to open a store nobody could get to on expensive land surrounded by competition.
it was bullshit when walgreens did it and it's bullshit now. its always just a cover for closing underperforming stores, and it's one that happens to play incredibly well with the psychotic US media
It was demonstrably bullshit when walgreens did this exact playbook but I'm sure target, the corporation known for extreme surveillance, executive racism, and encouraging overpolicing is being 100% truthful here

They're basically doing collective punishment for not being profitable enough for them.
Bullshit
Same shit it always is, greedy bastards looking for an excuse that will fly
imagine believing literally anything a corporation says lol
Death to America
The downtown Portland one was kind of a nightmare honestly. The bathrooms were right by the entrance so people used them to shoot up in a lot.
