In addition to union busting, everything is getting too expensive to buy already expensive coffee.

Pretty much.

Which is why I do my best to avoid buying anything unless absolutely necessary, and then I try to find an ethical vendor…and accept the fact it’s sometimes an exercise in futility.

The practical reason is that I have had bad experiences with them - wrong order, took forever, etc. I guess my "virtue signaling" reason is that they basically force restaurants to work with them and drive up prices, and they exploit their drivers. I object to the business model.

That's just reacting to bad service, nothing else.

We'll never buy another Tesla (we've had 3) but that's the only complete boycott our family has done.

I haven't completely boycotted any business I used to patronize pre-Trump but I have reduced my purchases substantially from Target and Starbucks and correspondingly increased those from Costco and TJs.

That is not even remotely possible. Did Penzy’s post disparaging and cruel comments about a couple who had just been murdered by their son?

I’ve heard of Penzy’s but never ordered anything from them. What exactly offends you so much?!

The only place I actively stopped patronizing in a form of boycott is Penzy's. The owner abused the email lists to send mass emails that pretty much called everyone voting for Trump Hitler incarnate. And it wasn't just one email. He started going wild when George Floyd happened.

Apparently he lost so much business that he had to resort to asking for donations..

Labor union blocking.

I haven’t even set foot on a Target in over a year. I got a Target gift card from a student’s family and just gave it to my angel tree family.

HOme Depot’s owner is a HUGE Trump donor.

Hypothetically, if your best friend, and I mean best friend, been with you through thick and thin, was a Trump supporter and you never knew it, what would you do?

You might be asking yourself, “I would definitely know.” Some people are very good at hiding things from others.

Irrelevant. Home Depot is very bad at hiding their support for Trump and Republicans and they aren’t OP’s best friend.

Just answer the question.

Haven't used them since Deepwater Horizon. Largest environmental damage in US history. Ongoing and never-ending damage to the Gulf of Mexico and all marine liffe.

Estimates are there is an area of the Gulf floor that is 20x the size of Manhattan that will never recover.

But hey, let's go ahead and drill, baby, drill!

You clearly have no understanding of franchising and the petroleum supply chain.

🙄🙄🙄

Why are people boycotting Starbucks?

Target, because there's nothing to buy, and Amazon for sending me a damaged table. even the package was in shreds.
It is too heavy to send it back and couldn't repackage it.
I cut my Amazon spending by 80%. Don't miss it at all. We are a small family and I have all the time in the world to find things cheaper locally.
