All part of their 'Dynamic Pricing' move.

The cuts are for this announcement to get the PR but their prices will still be ridiculously high. I recently saw an announcement of a $5 meal deal from mcdonalds but you still get less than $5 meal deals from other places that existed before mcdonald's dumb announcement.

"Target and McDonalds admit that they've been price gouging all this time"
he/him/his
How much lower? Anything less than $1 lower would be insignificant.

Amazon's prices are dynamic so you often have a shot of getting stuff on the cheap.
This is where cool people write stuff.
I refuse to go back to Target because they capitulate to Christo-fascist domestic terrorists.

McDonald's has always been towards the bottom of my fast food tier, but hey, if the reduction is enough maybe. I do occasionally get cravings for them when I want something I'll regret spending money on and tasting.

Gotta wait n see how this plays. Doubt it will be a significant drop though. A lot of these companies don't learn until their business are on the line.

Also to add with your post, this year at Target they won't be selling Pride items this year due to last year's nonsense. x_x

Exactly. Not only did they cave last year, they seemingly plan to continue caving going forward.

Fuck those cowards.

While at the gym, I saw a news report about target dropping prices, so I think that ones legit

Last year I worked when that crap happened, and it was stupid. All because these Trump supporters/Republicans got offended by the transgender clothing line and a bathing suit for transgenders. My store we had people tearing up the Pride section. We also had people harassing customer service or not wanting to leave the store being offended.

I am angry that they even sided with these lunatics. Target DESERVED to lose all that money for siding with hateful parasites.

this was probably some scheme. A lot of times, companies do really dumb unthinkable decisions that nobody likes. Then they come back in a blaze of glory, and everyone runs back acting like an old friend returned from the hospital.

Watch them also turn the buildings back into the old colorful versions. They have been building a desire for nostalgic old days the last few years, with the McDonaldsland characters coming back, old Halloween buckets, etc.

We are about to enter a new era of redemption through nostalgia. And then they will do it again in twenty years.

I think they just flew too close to the sun and fucked themselves.

It was only fast food related, however in another thread someone posted a chart of how they've been raising their prices exorbitantly compared to the increase of inflation, and of course blamed inflation.

Could be a scheme for Target, I think they just bit off more than they could chew pissing off both ends of the spectrum, however with McD's I think they just realized they messed up getting greedy.

Yes it does. Sadly they can't physically touch someone like they used to. Around the time when George Floyd was murdered by those cops, retail stores sort of distant themselves from cops, and that was when our security no longer could touch people.

Keep in mind all security normally can do is be watchful of people and not get physical. That also included around covid time when customers were touching coworkers and getting upset with them with the mask rules.

Ok, well, if customers are touching employees then that absolutely calls for getting physical to protect them. Can't say I enjoy that detail of just letting employees get assaulted.

In contrast the utilities that you need to pay will find another way to double their rates.
Every day I wake up and promise I will be nice to everyone, then I deal with people at work and remember why that will never happen.
Companies that took the opportunity to price gouge due to the pandemic deserve to go under.

Well a few things can happen because people being unable to afford things too much is actually bad for the corpos.

1. Is they will start dropping prices and monitoring numbers to see if there's an equilibrium.

2. Is wages go up until it reaches an equilibrium.

3. Is the economy collapses for a while and we begin a recovery process that could take a while but would maybe act as a soft reboot.

Im no economist but thats what I see happening

I do love how Target is basically Walmart, but not as sleazy.

Retail is quite toxic. Customers sadly take advantage of that.

I mean where I live you got basically 4 or 5 options for getting your food for the week/month and target is one of them, gisnt eagle, Walmart or like aldi or something. and then you got a few bulk buy options(which I dont need as a single guy living alone)

Are yall buying food items from convenience stores or something?

It was always greed. They weren't fooling anybody.

This is actually what makes me not believe it.

I can 100% believe lowering prices is the corporate response to losing customers.

I just don't believe enough customers respect themselves or value their money to send the message in the first place.

Oh yeah I didn't consider that. I live in a major city so there's hundreds of options.
