(1,408 posts)There is a jewelery, precious metal, gift store in Winchester, IN that me, my wife, brother and some friends have been a customer for years. In my case more than 15 years because they had good prices on Black Hills Gold. We also bought other gold and silver from them.
I called them today after a friend called me that was over there on Thur. afternoon. They were talking to the owner and he said that he supported it and thought pence would make a good president. My friend didn't say anything. He just put his items that he was going to buy on the counter, said that it's too bad he does and walked out. Knowing my friend he probably had a good amount of money he was going to spend as his wife's birthday is April 4 and he's no cheapskate and has a good job.
I called the store, the owner knows me by name and I just came out and asked him if supported the law and he said no. Then he denied that he had a conversation with my friend. I told him I couldn't stand liars and bigots and hung up.
I then called a flea market that we had started setting up in last year ad told them we would be pulling out until the law changed. They offered us a real good deal but I told them I won't spend another penny in that state until the law changes. They told me that 4 others had pulled out Thurs. also.
We were, or to be precise, my wife, is wanting to take a break for a few months then maybe start doing a few festivals that we haven't done for a few years. I'm hoping by then I'll be up and be able to help her. Those festivals are fun to do.
Maybe if enough small vendors around the state do this it'll make a difference. I know I'll be in contact with all that I know around the state to keep up what's going on.
Hit 'em where it hurts.
