Therapy Dog Donating Member | I would contact Target Headquarters and see what their policy is on this and then go from there. That is sad that they asked him to leave.

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | Are you KIDDING me!? Is that all they said? I think he should call and ask to speak to the manager.

| They have the right to refuse service to anyone and they asked him to leave because they don't support the military and do not want him in the store in his uniform... I wouldn't believe it except it is coming straight from my husband's mouth who heard it straight from his friend that was asked to leave... |

| This is the 2nd time today I have heard something negative about target My coworker is leaving to go on his honeymoon tomorrow to hawaii. His wife is going to have to call in sick because her supervisor said she could not take the day off She already put in for the time a month ago. Her supervisor is a replacement for the one who gave her the time off. That not very good for employee relations or customer. I always shop at target but it makes you want to reconsider. |

| Thats crazy. Just b/c he was wearing his uniform? If I were him I would probably contact the mgnt at Target, then if I didn't get a satisfactory response I would contact regional HQ then go from there.

| I've heard about this before as well. My neighbor is in the Air National Guard and refuses to shop at Target because of their long history of not supporting the military. |

| I this came up one other time. I've heard that Target being owned by the French doesn't support the war or troops or something like that. But then again, I just read something where they do and has a program that sends them care packages. So I don't know. Weird.
