My letter to Target

Read about the Target boycott here.

My letter:

I have a wonderful, fun Target right near me in West Nyack, and I enjoy shopping there. However, I will not be shopping at Target anymore, as long as you continue to allow your pharmacists to discriminate against customers on the basis of religious belief.

The Civil Rights Act does not allow employees to refuse to do their job, nor to interfere with the private relationship between a patient and physician. As long as Target pharmacists are allowed to discriminate against customers, I’ll shop elsewhere. I’ll also be advising my family and friends to do the same.

In the meantime, I sincerely hope you reconsider this regressive policy.

    So I’m not supposed to shop at Wal*Mart that’s a half mile away, and I’m not supposed to shop at Target that’s two miles away… that means I need to take another hour to go 10 miles to K-Mart to get some sheets? Fuhgeddaboutit….. I’ll boycott the Target pharmacy (which I didn’t use anyway)….
