I decided to keep a list and this seems to be a good place.

[TNNurse]

So, I shop with my heart and brain and conscience.

Places that do not get my business:

Walmart---obviously
Chick-fil-a---I love the sandwiches and if I am with a group, I go along but otherwise...no.
Hobby Lobby
and now Land's End--just got a new catalog and was ready to order stuff.

I will swear on anything you want that I have not bought gas at an Exxon station since the wreck of the Valdese...

I am sure that there are others and am pretty sure y'all will make some suggestions and I will consider them.

Oh, and be sure if there is a confederate flag flying at an establishment, I will not enter.

I used to post on another site as Liberal Southern Democrat and I am still one.

9. I just got a catalog

and was ready to order something.....

I miss Chick -fil-a and will miss Land's End knit pants....

[dixiegrrrrl]

17. Land's End, since bought by Sears, has gone downhill in quality.

So I have stopped using them.

did not know about their Steinem thing tho.

A lovely place to comment to a company is their FAcebook page.

[Liberal_in_LA]

13. Wow. Thx for heads up

[all american girl]

2. What's up with Lands End?

Damn, I like them.

[Ilsa]

8. See reply to 1st reply. nt

[all american girl]

11. Thank you!!!!

[noamnety]

3. I'm hesitant to suggest papa john's pizza

On the one hand, their boss is a right wing complete asshole.

On the other, their pizza is so gawd-awful that I'm not sure politics is the proper reason to avoid it.

[TNNurse]

7. Oh. thank you

I forgot Papa John's. When he said that he would have to raise prices to give health coverage to his employees.....he is a billionaire, lives in a disgustingly huge mansion.....no way I would give him any of my money.

[Ilsa]

10. He claimed he'd lose business if he raised the price of

a pizza 9 cents. The sweetness of his tomato sauce is what keeps me away. I'd gladly pay 9 cents or more to get health insurance for all employees.

[noamnety]

15. yes, the tomato sauce

It tastes like they use condensed campbells tomato soup instead of real pizza sauce.

[all american girl]

12. My son was so sad when I said we would not order from them anymore

I did feel bad for the drivers...I'm an over tipper and they always seem to like us. Also, yeah, crap pizza, but middle school girl and high school boy (back in the day)...good price

[peacebird]

4. Google prison labor. You will be surprised by some of the companies that take advantage of it

Payind between 95 cents to under $5 an hour, and some are getting 40% of that back as tax incentives from us.

Hotel reservations, call centers, all sorts of stuff. Starbucks is one of the companies using them so they are off our list as well as the companies you listed.

Sometimes I get their stuff at the thrift stores second hand.....that boycott won't be hard for me

[beac]

14. Any Koch brothers paper products.

Includes: Angel Soft, Brawny, Quilted Northern, Dixie, Vanity Fair.

See here for full list: http://www.inspirationgreen.com/koch-brothers-products.html

However, those jerks have their fingers in so many pies, it is extremely hard to completely avoid lining their filthy pockets. (See also at link.)

[TNNurse]

18. I adjusted some buying habits

because of the Koch list. Thanks for including this, I quit buying them and they were off my radar.

[annabanana]

16. I went on their "chat" function to register my disgust.

I let them know that I wouldn't be a customer anymore until I see evidence of a reversal of their kowtowing to religious fanatics.

[el_bryanto]

19. *hangs head in shame* Forgive me DU for I shop at Walmart - 2-3 times a year

They are the only store around that has a good selection of Kool-aid.

In general though my policy is that if I boycott an establishment it has to be because of things they do to their employees or to the environment; I don't boycott businesses because they have a different political opinion than I have.

[TNNurse]

20. I have lots of issues with Walmart

and high on the list is how they treat their employees. So many cannot work enough hours to qualify for any benefits and many qualify for food stamps.
They are now closing small stores in small towns after they ran the local grocery stores out of business.
The Walton heirs have more money than they could ever use and we subsidize their employees.

Unfortunately, I have a couple of things I cannot find anywhere else and do occasionally go in, but it is as a last resort.

I think of Chick-fil-a and Hobby Lobby as having human rights issues and misguided religious beliefs.

[el_bryanto]

22. Where I live, if i started boycotting places who had conservative views, I'd be kind of out of luck

on a lot of things.

Bryant

[TNNurse]

24. Certainly understand

there are situations that limit access to better choices.

I do not judge people who do what they can. The ones who bother me are the clueless, uniformed...or excuse me Trump supporters who do not have the sense or character to evaluate.

[awoke_in_2003]

21. Sadly, it seems to be the only place...

that has Raspberry Ice Crystal Light, too.

[Bradical79]

23. Could add a number of candy companies

I don't know who gets what from where, but I recall reading that a pretty large amount of chocolate comes from child labor. I'll have to check when I get home, I might have the story saved.

[logosoco]

25. I always feel like that at my spending level it doesn't make a difference, but I try

to "shop my conscience".
The ones on your list are good to know to avoid.
I do not use BP or AT&T because of links to cheney (and of course what BP did to the Gulf of Mexico, but I avoided them even before then).

Nestle is an awful company and one you really need to read the package information to avoid.
Also anything koch brother related, like Northern bath tissue (and maybe Angel Soft, I forget, I only use Scott or store brand).

The few times I do need to go to Walmart it usually ends up being something made in the US! So that makes me feel a little better(also I still write in a paper check book register, even with my debit card and I like writing "Walmart sucks" on the entry!).

[nolabear]

26. Do me a favor and add BP to that list too. They damn near killed the Gulf.

And have weaseled out of paying what they owe. Bastard Pissants.

[Kittycat]

27. Walmart is now a progressive, democratic approved place to shop!

Didn't you hear? They gave over $300k to Hillary, so it's all good now. Shop away!

[TNNurse]

28. Fat chance for me to do that.

[TBF]

29. I'll shop at Walmart when Hillary does -

ie never.
