Yeah I think people were shopping at Walmart if they were already willing to scrape the bottom of the barrel for low prices and convenience. Target was considered in a lot of groups where to go if you need big box stuff but have a moral quandary with Walmart. I know it was for me, at least. That entire subset of people was already willing to forsake convenience if it meant shopping along with their values. I couldn’t like Costco any more than I already did (superfan) so I’m not necessarily going there more or spending more, but I am evangelizing them when I get the chance.
Basically I think the absolute number of people who shop with their values is relatively low, but a lot of them went to Target, and now they’re not. I have certainly vastly decreased the amount I’m shopping there and instead looking for local/direct online sources of goods I would get from there or just forgoing stuff entirely.
I’ve noticed that here and there where these idiots are just way too into their own bubble. Fucking wild how that happens even when they’re the ones churning out the bullshit
they really miscalculated their customer base

Too many corpos think we depend on them
They’re all smoking their own propaganda too hard
