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

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
