Target CEO addresses ‘price gouging’ accusations in retail




Target CEO Brian Cornell said there’s no room for price gouging in the competitive retail landscape.

Cornell was asked whether the tactic boosted Target’s profits, after Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris outlined a plan to stop price gouging.


He spoke to CNBC after Target beat quarterly earnings expectations.




There’s no room for price gouging in an ultra-competitive business like retail, Target CEO Brian Cornell said Wednesday.In an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” the retail chief disputed campaign talking points accusing grocers of inflating prices. He said retailers have to be responsive to customers or risk losing business.

He was asked by CNBC’s Joe Kernen, who referred to comments by Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris and asked if Target or its competitors ever benefit from price gouging. Harris last week proposed the first-ever federal ban on “corporate price-gouging in the food and grocery industries,” saying some companies are charging excessively and fueling household inflation.

“We’re in a penny business,” Cornell responded, noting the small profit margins in the retail industry. He described the many places that customers can turn to check for lower prices or to find merchandise elsewhere, from going to stores to browsing on their phones to compare the prices of a gallon of milk at different retailers.

Heels Up Harris wants Communist style price controls.

She should have stayed on her knees in California.

Heels Up Harris wants Communist style price controls.

TRANSLATION:

Kamala Harris wants to do things that might benefit the working class. The Republicans prefer that billionaires be allowed to become trillionaires at the expense of those working stiffs.

She should have stayed on her knees in California.

TRANSLATION:

She is a woman...and the only way she could possibly have made it in politics is to use sex. No way she, or any woman, could do that on political competence.

 

[TOP]

She doesn't know anything about businessnor the economy... Or any of the things that are important to the majority of Americans when they are choosing a president...

 

[Kamala Trump]

the way to help working Americans in the LONG RUN is massive tariffs in all sectors.

comparative advantage is a dopey concept in the modern era.

How much is he paid?

I bet you think that the multiple bankrupt orange shitgibbon knows about the economy though. You're partially right. He knows how to drive it straight into the ground.

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

How much is he paid?

May I?

ETA, from the same source (Google search)

I'm sure pEarl and Toxic think this is perfectly okay.

 

[Jarod]

May I?

Thank you! You are the best!

 

[Earl]

How much is he paid?

None of your business.

Post your receptionist pay.

There's no price gouging...or "gaging"....

Indeed.

Heels Up Harris could not even pronounce the word correctly.

Without wishing to be pedantic, TOP, I honestly don't feel that you're aware of what the majority of Americans want.

I really don't think you've spent enough time in
Boston,
New York,
Philadelphia,
Baltimore,
DC,
Seattle,
Portland,
San Francisco,
and Los Angeles
to know how many millions upon millions of people live in coastal urban areas,
and how different their core political values are from yours.

I believe that you're making Richard Nixon's mistake
of imagining a "moral majority" that's not as big as you think it is,
and those actually in it are not universally regarded as moral.

It's perfectly fine to say that you want different things than I do,
but you're underestimating how many people are on my side.

Even the most die hard Trump supporters don't expect him to win the "popular vote,"
so what does that mean?

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

Thank you! You are the best!

You're very welcome. I went back and edited it to add the average salary of a Target employee. It's odd how MAGATs see no problem here. But then willful ignorance IS their forte.

I'm sure that you believe that I'm somehow unaware... But i'm pretty sure I'm correct... This election will not be decided by the your like-minded people in the 9 urban areas that you listed.... You've got to stop the rest of the United States... All those unsophisticated people that you dislike...
