I buy all my cleaning products from the local Dollar General, even though I know the owner is a fundie!
But, they treat their employees well - they have the same employees there that they've had for years, so they must. And I know one of the guys there is a liberal. I've talked to him outside of his work when I've seen him in the neighborhood.
I guess, while I don't condone the owner's politics, it's OK, because I have an idea that his employees are well-treated, so I don't mind so much.
Or is that rationalization?
