It never ceases to amaze me how people will get all fired up over something a company does and swear that they will never buy anything from that company again. Until they do. Like when a Dollar General was proposed down the road from where I live. The HOA from the snoody neighborhood across the street threw a fit. The proposal was passed and the store is open. The parking lot looks like a new car lot on any given day and I can assure you that the residents in that neighborhood aren't going to drive an extra five miles to get a bag of chips or a gallon of milk just to spite Dollar General.

Meh I don't have enough time or cares to track every company, celeb, retail store or sports team that doesn't meet my standard. More power to those that can.
Only grudge I hold is against Republican Speaker of the House Brian Bosma for publicly siding with Marian Co Council to shut down duck hunting on Geist. I will never forgive him for going on the evening news and tell everyone it was about safety...liar.
Thanks I feel better.

People complain say they won’t buy product get over it As someone who has employees it’s my job to look out what’s best for the entire work force not just a few.
It’s a no win for us we say get a shot people say no I don’t want one but the same person will be standing in line to sue you because you didn’t take the right steps to protect them. But it’s ok for them to force their opinion on me buy saying no what am I supposed to tell they guy who has to work with him who’s taking care of his wife children mon dad that are older
I don’t like it anymore than the next guy but I can tell you this it ain’t all fun and games at the top
My rant but a different view for you to think about

I would not want to be in your shoes dealing with those decisions. I have seen exactly what you describe. Pick the option that is best for the company. Inevitably it will not be liked by all, even by those that benefit when your company does well. I never understood.

Not like you were anymore than a bird watcher when you were out there. I've heard you call geese. Can't imagine the duck calling was any better

From reading this i assume cahart has mandated the shot. I have no problem with that. Most cos have requirements to work there if you dont like it donot work there. What i do not like is the gov mandating shots. That takes away the choice of the business owner. We all have to make choices and live with the consequences. I make my decision weather to support a co based on weather they support or donot support the 2nd amendment, hunting ,fishing,trapping and things of that nature.

So in the grand scheme of things what can I buy? Where can't I go? Who can I listen to on the radio? What can I watch on TV? Which entertainers are we supposed to boycott movies, music, TV shows, events they participate in? Where can I go to see this list?

I talked to a walmart attorney at a planning meeting with a bunch of uppity remonstrators against the Center Grove store. He said once we win (which we always do) these protestors will be the first people shopping there once they see the prices.

In my opinion, it's a free country they can demand vaccination and people can choose not to work there. We (american public) go crazy over this stuff but we keep forgetting that half the stuff we buy is made in sweat shops and we don't bat an eye. We even joke about it and keep buying it, why should this bother anyone? If you don't want to buy it don't buy it if you don't want to work there then don't work there as for me if a place is keeping my family out of the poor house then I think I'm going to get a shot or two. On the other hand there are PLENTY of jobs out there right now. So to each their own it's just not a big deal to me and I'll continue to buy their stuff. I agree, they're a company making a company wide decision. That's within their rights, I may disagree but it's not my call. I do however disagree with the government mandating the vaccine.

Which entertainers are we supposed to boycott movies, music, TV shows, events they participate in? Where can I go to see this list? Do you really want to see it? If out of curiosity it's pretty good especially if you like to argue like me. If you are wanting to boycott, well it's a list that will not make for a fun life

If you are wanting to boycott, well it's a list that will not make for a fun life In today’s world you’d never buy anything go anywhere do anything eat anything Even if you wanted to try and buy made in USA it would be dang hard if not impossible it may say made In USA but it’s more like assembled so many parts are made overseas and brought here You would not be able to buy a lot of fruit and veggies lots come from overseas when our growing season is over Why watch TV if it’s the news chance are it’s someone opinion unless it’s a old John Wayne movie You can boycott buying from one company but chances are you still will unknowingly lot of the major brands are owned by another company or holding investment type group Even singers race car drives football players are told what to say what to do it all has to do with sales images and what the company backing them wants us to see 100 years ago it would of been easy today I’d say you could not do it no matter how hard you try

BTW I never have said yes I still will buy from them on here but I will they make good long lasting warm work clothes when I’m outside working and it’s 11 degrees I really don’t care what they say or do as long as I’m warm I’d probably even buy them if Nancy Pelosi owned them and I have a very deep dislike of her and that’s saying it nicely

I love the buy American automobile argument. Anymore I'd wager toyota employs more Americans in the United States than the domestic brands

I still never stepped foot in another Dick's Sporting Goods store. And their stocks have almost doubled after changing their business model! Crazy…
