If you’re boycotting Target you’re a literal terrorist, says talking head on MSNBC.

I do not care if they change their policies. I do not care if they sell satanic crap OR if they change their policy to stop selling satanic crap. I am not trying to get them to change their behavior.
I am simply not going to shop at Target.
This is the same policy I have for the Adult Pleasures Superstore, Petsmart, Slumberland, Hobby Lobby, Walgreens, Lowe's, Dick's Sporting Goods, Bath and Body, and Krogers.
I do not shop at these stores either.
Crap. What did Lpwes do?
Who says they have to "do" anything?
Marketing 101 Customers are fickle. Brand loyalty is like gold.
For me, Home Depot and Menards are local. Lowes is not. I have "heard" that Lowes caters to women who don't know how to do stuff. True? IDK. But, that doesn't sound like a place for me. My "impression" is that it is going to be cheap and plasticy.
Now, in all fairness to Lowes, I should verify this info, but, is it going to make a material difference? No, it won't. I will still shop locally at Menards and Home Depot. So, I won't bother. I might be totally wrong. I can live with that.
See, fickle reasoning. Menards and Home Depot just happen to be close AND I have had many good experiences there.
Lowes has to overcome my negative impressions of them and get me to not shop local in order for me to shop at their store.
How is Home Depot a "local" store? It's a big corporation with big box stores all over the place.
"The Home Depot, Inc., often simply referred to as Home Depot, is an American multinational home improvement retail corporation that sells tools, construction products, appliances, and services, including fuel and transportation rentals. Home Depot is the largest home improvement retailer in the United States." - Wikipedia
It's even bigger than Lowe's. You aren't shopping locally by shopping at the largest home improvement corporation in the country.
Menards isn't really local either, unless you're in Wisconsin. They have over 350 stores.
Even though Lowe's is number two in the field, they are more local to me than Home Depot and Menards, as their headquarters is in my state of NC.
So three stores are running neck and neck as the top three largest home improvement stores, and you pick one and say it's not local, but claim the other two are, when there's really zero difference.
We are using the term "local" differently.
We have Menards and Home Depot in my town. Both are less than 5 miles from my house - they are local.
The closest Lowes is about 20-25 miles away.
You are correct in saying that all three are big box stores. Wasn't trying to imply the these are mom and pop stores.
Do you grow your own food? In most places, there are no grocery stores other than the big boys. In my town, all the regular grocery stores are Food Lion. We have one Aldi, where half the store is lawn chairs, planters, and other crap. And then there's Walmart, which I don't count as a grocery store because of their lack of selection in many areas. They don't even have a butcher.
I garden, yes. I shop for groceries at a mom and pop grocery store 2 miles from my home. And yes, they butcher meat there, too.
i had a faint hope that you might be listing those in alphabetical order or something. nope. its okay. i cant stop laughing but i'm just gonna leave it and move on.
Not sure why you are being down voted. Unless you are making fun of me and I just don't get the joke.
I had first listed the Adult store because I would see it every time on the highway when I went to visit my mom. Son wanted to know what kind of store that was (when he was little). I told him that it is a store we don't shop at. Clear connection to Target - a store we don't shop at.
Later, I thought, wait a minute, there are a bunch of stores I don't go to, so I editted and added these in no particular order. Just stores that I see along the highway, but don't go to either.
