Target is having some attention at the moment. They have decided that transgendered staff and clients can use any bathroom they wish - male or female. Some in the US are not pleased and started a petition. Some want to boycott Target.

More than one million people have decided they will no longer buy their Nutter Butters or Wet Wipes at Target.
The American Family Association launched a boycott of the nation’s second largest retailer a week ago – over Target’s corporate policy allowing men who identify as women to use the bathrooms and fitting rooms of their choosing.

“We believe that everyone – every team member, every guest, and every community – deserves to be protected from discrimination, and treated equally,” the company wrote in a statement. “Consistent with this belief, Target supports the federal Equality Act, which provides protections to LGBT individuals, and opposes action that enables discrimination.”

American Family Association, one of the most prominent and respected family advocacy groups in the nation, warned that Target’s policy puts women and children in danger.

Well, it looks like Target is not doing too well. ABC news is reporting that Target will lose $50 million by the end of 2016. And there is a rumour that KMart may merge with Target.

Correct.. this has nothing to do with US Target operations. There will be no mergers. Australia Target and Kmart are already operated by the same company - Westfarmers. US Kmart is part of Sears.
