What are some restaurants or stores that you WILL NOT shop at?

I avoid slaughter houses and chicken farms. Actually, I avoid all concentrated feeding operations (CAFOs) because of the smell. I don’t necessarily avoid the food though.

You'll need to avoid Delmarva to avoid chicken farms.

Publix

Any store that is closed on Sundays.

Any store that supports Trump, Maga

You will have a tough time buying groceries in Florida. I guess if you avoid Publix you will have to buy your groceries at Walmart.

I would put Florida on the list of restaurants and stores that I will not shop at.

The exception is Disney, because I have kids and it's unlike, politically/socially, the rest of the state.

This feeling started as a bit of a political thing, but before people get exercised about that, I've realized it's not the politician or party, it's the fact that Florida has gotten so aggressively weird that it allows for certain politics and politicians. The last couple of years it's just been unenjoyable—there's crazy political signs, really aggressively political people, guns everywhere... it's like the Florida Man meme came to life and then doubled down. Miami is still Miami, but i don't do enough coke to be able to handle that city very often.

Walmart is so fast with delivery. I ordered yesterday morning and it was at the front door by 4pm - no delivery fees or subscription.

LOVE Walmart!

Penzy's Spices.

Won't buy anything from them ever since it turned out their CEO/owner is a wacko left wing progressive who openly insulted many of his consumers to the point he had to ask for donations to keep the business alive.

I love Penzey’s and shop there all the time. I support the owner’s views. It sounds like PP isn’t the kind of customer that the company wants anyway. PP probably wants a bland, unspicy, boring world.

Nope.

Cops use Trek bikes as weapons against peaceful civil rights protesters:

I won't go to Dunkin Donuts. The coffee is too acidic, the donuts give me heartburn and it just seems like a lame Boston cult.

Ones supporting oppression, whether its genocide, child labor, low wage, dangerous working conditions, racism, sexism, etc.

Ones selling unhealthy food products.
