[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's the way he's going about it - he's sending these to gift recipients unsolicited who may be apolitical. Would you have liked to have sent a unique foodstuff gift to someone and then the company turns out to be a Trump supporter and later sends your gift recipient a pack of that foodstuff that says "celebrate, inauguration is here?" Then the recipient wonders why you've affiliated them with this. It's the method of this marketing approach that is weird.[/quote]

If they wanted to, they could match customer names to databases that show the % Dem in the voting precinct and active voting participation patterns.  Plus names of voters who have given more than $200 to political candidates.  It wasn't necessarily a scattershot approach.[/quote]
It doesn't sound like that's what he did. At least based on the original reports, he sent it to customers and gift recipients in this area. Sending political stuff to customers is a bit weird, but you made the choice to buy from him, so if you don't like it, just throw it out. But to send political stuff to your gift recipient is weird; the recipient may wonder if you're endorsing it, when all you wanted to do was send a unique food gift.[/quote]

I did not get one but I wonder if the address where I used to live when I ordered from Penzeys received it. I haven’t ordered from Penzey’s since I moved because I visit the store in person.

I’m liberal leaning and I like Penzey’s, but Bill’s messages go too far sometimes. I’m not going to call all conservatives evil - not sure if he’s said that, but he’s gone farther than I think is necessary. I find it hard to Embrace Love and all his other hippy quips when he is spewing hate, even if it’s hate spewed at hateful people.

Guess it’s like that other poster says, living rent free in your head. I don’t like the incoming administration, but I’m going to ignore them as much as I can because if I stew in anger and hatred, I’m just hurting myself and it is not impacting them in any way.

Save yourselves, man[/quote]
