Do you boycott certain businesses?

Yeah, they're Christianists. They don't open on Sundays, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. They were sued by a Muslim employee for having fired him for not participating in an employee prayer.

I try not to shop at Walmart, Walgreen's, Target or other national big box stores.
I'll pay a premium to support mom and pop and I'll pick a family-run restaurant over any chain.

I had heard about Chick Fil A for sometime now.
I’ve never eaten there and don’t plan on it.

This is a small community but a very large gay community here in St. Pete. There was one restaurant downtown where the owner had a confrontation with a gay couple in his establesment.

Apparently they were celebrating an anniversary and the owner saw them kiss at the table. He asked them to leave. That didn’t go over well in this community! The gay community boycotted his restaurant to the point he actaully make a public appoligy on his facebook page.

As a member of the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign, I boycott all things Israeli.

Some would others still won’t. The gay men in this town spend a lot of money eating out and word travels fast, especially on facebook. There was a backlash against his restaurant. Morgan and I accepted his apology and still eat there once in a while, but his business is hurting because of that incident.

I boycott no businesses; however, as a private citizen, I "snub" (aka, boycott) many people for one reason or another. Meaning, I do not attempt to talk in a friendly manner while waiting on any line. It's my small way to have people learn that not everyone subscribes to the egalatarian society they might think they live in.

I boycotted Walmart for about 10 years, but folded after the Downtowns were thoroughly dead. Boycotted Amazon for about 5 years. Made an attempt to boycott Borders and B&N but did not get very far. Boycotted Coke till they brought back real Coke and apologized.

No, but I felt better about myself for not handing them my money.

Now that I am a businessman my outlook has changed some, I believe that all but Coke were selling people what they wanted so they were not scummy companies as I then thought of them, though I still pick and choose who I want to do business with.

I never got into boycotting.
( I DID get into financing pro-freedom efforts.)

You might be shocked to learn that not of us always have the cash on hand to donate to causes. This being the case choosing where to make our purchases is the only way we can financially impact the situation.

Thank you for telling me about SaraLee, David. I like their frozen cakes, and now I think I'll have to buy them more often because of their freedom-from-gun-violence position.

I refused for years to get a pizza from Domino's because their owner was a far-right uber-Christian anti-abortion zealot.

Guess my chicken is never gonna be Chick-Fil-A.
Seems to me once the Burlington Mall CFA had
some sort of promo deal on and I ate there once or twice, and it wasn't bad. Never again now, tho.
