TSF is calling on his followers to boycott Penzey's Spices because Kamala visited their Pittsburgh store

[GoneOffShore]

Just got this email from Bill Penzey -

Donald Trump called Penzeys “Terrible, Over-Priced Product” this week. Fox News called Penzeys “the meanest spice shop in America." Much of the rest of the right wing media repeated those words or worse. All this because we welcomed Vice President Kamala Harris into our Pittsburgh store this past Saturday.

They really do want to boycott Penzeys out of existence. They want to make an example of us and leave every other retail store out there too frightened to welcome in Kamala like we did. They want us to be the next Bud Light trophy on their wall to show off the costs of going against their will.

And as much as you know we won’t back down, if you don’t make the effort to support us right now this will be crippling. Yes, email subscribers have known who we are for years. But among our store customers we have hundreds of thousands who are not on our list. Among those there are no doubt tens of thousands, maybe more, under the Fox/Trump influence.

You know the hypnotic power Trump and Fox have over their followers. When they say do something their crowd does it. We’ve already had thousands of customers quit. You can imagine the language they’ve used to do so.

1. There's a Penzey's in my town

I think I’ll go there today when I’m out doing my regular errands. They always have great stuff and they usually have a special.

2. Go fuck yourself, convicted criminal Turd ...

... I've been "boycotting" the businesses and the products of rightwing nutjob corporations and Fascist idiots since Nixon. I would encourage others to follow suit and do the same. I have no need for Faux Noise nor evangelical television hucksters nor hate radio nor the corporate entities which advertise on these media outlets. Good riddance to all that rubbish! Stop purchasing their products and put them into bankruptcy court like that whacko Pillow hustler clown.

[Tarzanrock]

3. I have no present need for any spices ...

... but the next time I do, those spices will now all be purchased from Mr. Penzey.

13. They make great Christmas presents

And when you go in their stores, they don't mind if you say, Happy Holidays!

[GoneOffShore]

19. They are also offering discounts on $50 gift cards.

Here's a link for the deal - https://www.penzeys.com/online-catalog/special-offer-penzeys-gift-card/c-24/p-3129/pd-s?mkt_tok=NzgxLVFISi00MDYAAAGVjI6s8f8eV4ldbHBbFQP5hGLyz8p3oed7ml8mZ9s2dYyON1jjGiPNTS85D59YZsDW2dUpXJxZLrytqx6rut02_cZ02nIyP0fuWmgKPuPZzIFMDA

4. I put in a second order tonight.

I had ordered about a week ago, in response to an email from Penzey's prior to this one.

The owner does something that has not been common for business owners, going back to the Reagan era: he stands up for social justice and is happy to be public about his support for progressive issues.

I think we need to support businesses that are willing to do that. These same businesses also often provide healthier and better quality products, with kinder impacts on both the environment and society.

I have the had more than enough of the fright wing's effort to dictate to the rest of us and their mob like attacks on anyone who stands up to them.

Go Penzey's and go Democrats.

16. Happy to support a business that supports DEMOCRACY and FREEDOM.

Great spices by the way.

5. Small business owners, he is not on your side!

[Croney]

6. His followers were not buying there anyway.

My Penzeys assortment is vast, but I'll buy more gift cards.

[llmart]

10. True.

The MAGAts in my area consider Chick Fil-A gourmet dining. I doubt most of them have ever heard of Penzeys before or have the means to pay a bit extra for quality food.

[BlueMTexpat]

7. I know from where

I'll be ordering Xmas gifts! https://www.penzeys.com/

[neohippie]

8. I made an order yesterday

I bought from them because I read about them earlier, but I also bought some for gifts

[no_hypocrisy]

9. Just put in my order.

For spice and spite.

[Deminpenn]

11. This probably will not sit will with Pittsburghers

One thing about western PA is that we are very parochial, like an attack on one is an attack on all.

[Lemon Lyman]

12. Hmmm

But the Goya is okay, right numntuts?

[jmowreader]

14. Weren't they already?

I suspect not all that many MAGAts want to pay six bucks for one ounce of pumpkin pie spice.

[Hekate]

24. Depends if they ever cook at all. Grocery store brands like Schilling are also pricy per ounce

I’m a mail-order customer of many years since first hearing about them at DU. The first year I bought from them I got a whole lot of holiday and birthday gift boxes for everybody I knew. On sale. It was a lot of fun.

There’s a lot to like about Bill Penzey, though chances of me ever getting to visit one of his stores in person are slim to none.

Have a look at his online catalog!

[tulipsandroses]

15. I'll be sure to stop by the ATL location today

Best vanilla, best cinnamon I’ve ever had. Hmm, yes I think I will make cinnamon pancakes tomorrow. Those uncouth MFers frothing at the mouth were never Penzeys customers.

[Biophilic]

17. I don't order often, but when I do I get really good deals and I love supporting this company.

Even if you just get some gift cards. Great presents for the upcoming holidays. Penzey's really is the authentic deal. Yeah, I know, I'm writing a commercial, but this company deserves our support. Besides, they have great products.

[Lunabell]

18. I thought magats did not like "cancel culture."

[themaguffin]

20. TFG is an asshole

[FakeNoose]

21. There are so few Repukes in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County

I doubt that anything Chump says will matter to Penzey's business. Penzey's has so many loyal customers already, and something like this will probably get them even more customers.

It just shows what a complete asshole Chump is. Remember when the Repukes complained about "cancel culture"? What do they call this?

22. 1/2 off all ORANGE spice mixes this weekend, lol!

Definitely going to be giving Penzy's gift boxes and gift cards this holiday season!

Placing an order for some southwestern spices and smoked salt this weekend. Bunch of them are 1/2 off, code FUN for the discount on orange mixes.

[ecstatic]

23. Harming an American business because...

your opponent visited? Are you effing kidding me?

Since magats don't understand or have empathy, they don't understand that this type of conduct puts them in jeopardy too.

[Maru Kitteh]

25. Kicking this again. Just finished MY FIRST ORDER EVER.

After I try a few samples I'll be ordering gift boxes and gift cards for Holiday gifts.

Spice is a WONDERFUL gift for the holidays!

[Dave Bowman]

26. Pathetic bunch of bratty 12 year olds.

[Think. Again.]

27. magats don't buy anything spicier than mayonaise anyway.

[bdamomma]

28. Go to their

website or local store to buy their products. I ordered their spices, very nice and I'll order more.

[Freethinker65]

29. Bill Penzey has been a publicly outspoken liberal for over a decade.

He already alienated many of his customers, while gaining new progressive ones, back during the Bush years. His company survived because he has great spices (AND he raised prices).

It's kind of amusing that many that left the Penzey's fan club FaceBook page because of Bill's politics page vowed to instead buy their spices from The Spice House (ignorant that the Spice House was the original Penzey family Spice business...even many of the blends are the same as Penzey's). Of course, the Spice House isn't as overtly political. Bill will be just fine.

Majority of my herbs and spices are still from Penzey's. Wish the prices were as competitive as they were years ago.

30. I'll have to save up a bit & get a few. 👍

[spanone]

31. He's already trying to destroy his political enemies...FUCK HIM
