Just some additional advertising for todays boycott.
First I've seen extending this to restaurants. That seems a bit much. Most restaurants around me are small businesses. Not cool for the folks trying to keep a single place afloat.
Ok I know about the other ones but what's the bad stuff target did? Besides the general capitalistic crap.
As expected, nothing came of this. Don't be pathetic. Stop buying from red states and wacko Trump supporters everyday.
Stop buying from red states
No wheat? Even imported Italian pasta is made from American Durum wheat. (Yes Italian pasta companies import US wheat, make pasta from it and then sell it as Italian.)
Do et, Yankies. STICK IT TO THE MAN
Never heard of this before. I like it, should be a weekly thing.
We have it every Sunday where I live, government-mandated. Not fun.
Forgot about this, but luckily I never really buy shit other than food.
Everybody will just buy more shit tomorrow. Are you people afraid of going into the streets?
This can have an effect in exactly two ways:
retailers lose a bit of profit because they cannot optimize their staffing for this one day. They might be a little less profitable because they have one person at work who is not needed, for example. They might also get mad customers the next day when everybody goes back shopping and they haven't prepared for it. Similarly, they might have to throw away a few fresh products and not have them in stock later.
if (and only if) people buy the stuff they need somewhere else instead. If this is about grocery shopping, well, you need groceries at some point. Doesn't matter much for the retailer when you buy it (apart from 1), as long as you buy it consistently at their place.
I support the protest, but if you want to make an impact, use that day to find alternative places to do your shopping in the future.
