Not sure about Target, but McD (and Starbucks, which also gets a mention on another page of this topic), also have another reason besides economy for why some customers stopped showing up, so I'm not surprised to see this.

Imagine if everyone came together for one month to drive as little as possible to avoid buying gas and stopped eating fast food entirely. Just one month....

Honestly, prices have gone up so much at fast food places that it's pretty much on par with eating at a sit-down restaurant with actual quality. The appeal of fast food was that it was cheap and easy to get on the way home from soccer practice, church, etc. with a car full of people.

Back in the day, you could feed a family of 5 for under twenty bucks. Nowadays, you can barely feed two people for $20 at the cheap places.

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

O live in a major city but there's mostly 4 or 5 chains some have multiple locations but the price variation isn't toooo much. They're all within probable 20 bucks of each other

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.
It wasn't a conscious decision for most people, to stop supporting Target or McDonald's or whatever

shit is just more expensive now so people are buying less or shopping around more

it's this one, but you can choose between a mcdouble or a mcchicken

it's no different from the wendys $5 deal they had, or the burger king one. well, it's different in that mcdonalds is doing it like 4 years after they did, but.

keep in mind, though, that none of the actual prices for things are getting lowered, it's just a limited time "value" meal.

How much do you want to bet Target and Mcdonalds will use this as an excuse to fire a majority of their workers or cut their pay and blame it all on the lower prices just to jack it back up?

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.
Damn, that's an awful precedent. I didn't realize they caved like this, but they'll be on the boycott list now.

Human workers in any profession will become a dying breed. Not just with fast food but literally everything barring maybe sports.

Nah, we already have video games that can simulate the results of actual sports, all we need is an AI that steals players' faces and voices and animates the simulations.

AI powered sports. They'll cite as "safety reasons" when they want to have total control there.

Don't forget people unironically want AI therapists and teachers to be a thing.

The future will be run by robots and AI. And only robots and AI.
