Members unicorn Posted 8 hours ago Members Posted 8 hours ago In another string, some members say they avoid doing business with Amazon on moral grounds. We had planned to cancel a visit to Disneyland after Jimmy Kimmel was suspended, although it looks as though he's back on the air, so I guess we'll go to see Mickey and friends after all. I avoid Chick Fil-A since they donate big $$ to anti-gay causes. Basically, I'll avoid businesses I know which spread hate/intolerance. How about you? Keithambrose, jimmie50 and KeepItReal 3 Quote

Disney also made it onto my list last week. Pepsi and Target are on there as well. My money, my choice. Vote with your wallet. jimmie50 and vinapu 2 Quote
jimmie50 Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago If I am aware of the hate and intolerance, in general I will avoid doing business with them. I avoid Chick-Fil-A and Hobby Lobby. I recently have cut back on the amount of shopping I do at places like Target and Lowes that have basically caved in to the pressure from the current regime in Washington regarding DEI. Same thing for Pepsi and Anheuser-Busch products. Because of backing down to pressure from the conservatives, they no longer sponsor Pride events. Why should I give these businesses my hard earned money! Quote
Members Pete1111 Posted 5 hours ago Members Posted 5 hours ago When I visited my MAGA brother back in fly-over country, we stopped at Chic-Fil-A, coming from the airport. Not my choice, but didn't want to be disagreeable. From that one and only visit, I don't understand what people are raving about. I can think of better options for chicken. Popeyes? I now have an additional argument beyond moral grounds not to dine there. Others I avoid include Denny's and Cracker Barrel on historical grounds. I know they claim to have cleaned up their act, but I still won't. I have been boycotting Target since January. I may never to back. I canceled my Washington Post subscription. Quote
vinapu Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago I generally avoid all big corpo and chain like businesses preferring to shop , dine and sleep in local , mom and pop type of establishments. 7/11 and Foodland in Thailand seem to be noble exceptions but just there KeepItReal 1 Quote
