jhook Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 As a union guy I will not go to Wal-mart, Staples, McDonald's and a few other places. I have tried to cut down spending money at some other places too but you can't be perfect. Any places that you refuse to spend money? Why? videogamesandvinyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhook Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 I am always curious as to why people would boycott a place of business. For me it's a human rights issue for others it's animals rights for some it's that they just don't like the colors of the place or the theme song. I really want to dive deep here.

texan4life Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I try not to shop at Walmart or Target; Target because I worked there and it was the worst, Walmart for the same reason, but in addition to the shit head people that run it. It's bittersweet to see Amazon on top and Walmart not, but Amazon treats there employees like shit as well, so you can't really win. I'm starting to get over the bad work experience so I'll shop at Target when my girlfriend wants to go, I think it was just the Target I worked at in particular that was especially terrible. (not saying other Targets are not as bad). /rant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually really enjoyed working there aside from the ridiculous rude people that always shopped there. to answer the OP, i'll shop anywhere if they have something I want for the best price or good food that I'm in the mood for. they're just a means to an end and I don't have to agree with their work ethic/political or religious stance/etc. GalacticMelt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I used to boycott McDonald's simply because I hate their fucking commercials. Trying to make shitty fast food "hip"? GTFO. But their damn dollar menu is too convenient, so I give in from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morfiend Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Walmart, Taco Bell and Starbucks. I hate Starbucks the most since Howard Schultz sold out the city of Seattle and sold our Sonics to OKC. jhook 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgry Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I'm not boycotting but there's no way I'm spending a dime at McDonalds when there's a Wendys or any other fast food place down the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I avoid Wal Mart and believe the Waltons should be publicly executed. But once or twice a year I'll grab like paper towels or something there out of convienence. I have never and will never give a dime to Papa John's.

jhook Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 For people from New England, Stop and Shop just got put on the list for posting an ad in the newspaper looking for scabs to start at a higher pay rate " in case of walkout/strike.". Totally forgot about Papa Johns, that guy can eat a large pile of dicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texan4life Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 When it comes to eating out, I'll pick something local over a chain every time. Because usually chains compared to local places are butt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Papa John's pizza sucks, so that's why I don't like them. Although their buffalo chicken pizza is alright... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
