Photos from inside the retail store depict lines of shoppers whose carts were brimmed with salt containers — a clear nod to salt’s power to melt ice. After paying, the shoppers subsequently returned the items. Many demonstrators also held signs criticizing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Target.
Why Target? Aren’t the company a bunch of MAGAts whose faces got eaten by leopards thanks to tariffs?
They clogged it to slow actual purchases from real customers
Awesome
Also, technically, they are likely taking a loss on purchases under a certain dollar value if you charge it. Like how those small stores have those $10 minimum for cards signs sometimes
They returned it all after purchasing. So Target didn’t make any money.
Heh, gottem.
you want to stop ice in their tracks? give em a little traction help and sprinkle some salt out for their vehicles.
the salt?
This is one protest I simply can not get behind.
Buy it at a local shop; preferably immigrant owned or STEAL it from the giant megacorp.
You’re giving money to a company that supports the current regime and, by extension, ICE. Even if you return it, you’re giving them PR. 🤦♂️

The point was to disrupt trade, not spend the money.
symbolic bs that doesn’t help anyone
Puts pressure on Target to stop cooperating. The public has a lot of power to influence change this way when coordinated. This is also more effective than a boycott since it is disruptive.
It’s a denial of service.
Dude, they DoS-ed a store. They bought a shit tone of salt then returned it. Wasting the cashier’s time, the return person’s time, and the stocking person’s time. Making those employee’s waste time instead of helping actual customers buy stuff, return stuff, or stock actual things needing to be restocked. I can imagine a lot of real customers are going to get frustrated and just leave costing target real money
Sounds like real customers had actual business in front of maybe less societally concerned customers… 🤔🤷 Whats the big whoop?
