2. Who would have thought that one day people would abandon Target?

That was a terrible corporate decision, one repeated by many companies.

4. Who would have thought that one day Target would abandon people?

I hadn't set foot in a WalMart for decades, shopped there instead of Target recently. Target used to stand up and then Target fell on its knees.

I am pretty sure that, if Target changes its mind and reverses that terrible decision, Target will be forgiven.

5. You make a good point.

It's good to see the boycott having an impact. They erred badly, but I'm not counting on them coming to their senses any time soon. Whether or not they're forgiven remains to be seen.

6. Oh, they've been on the right side way longer than this recent diversion to the wrong side

I think people will cut them some slack. Besides, I don't want to shop at WalMart and I bet I'm not the only one.

7. They probably will because of Target's reputation for good design.
