Target Corp. on Wednesday reported a second-quarter sales drop, dragged down by a negative reaction by some customers due to its Pride merchandise and shoppers’ inflation worries.

The Minneapolis retailer expects high interest rates, which makes credit cards more expensive to use, and higher prices on food to continue to put a strain on customers, and on Wednesday, the chain cut its profit outlook for the year. It also expects sales will decline for the remainder of the year.
