#2 How long until you aren't allowed to check out unless a woke-corporate approved quota of favored minority produced product is in your cart?

GIANT is about to see a lot of customers looking elsewhere for groceries.

BTW: I don't a (insert your descriptive word) if its made by (insert pampered class) or not.

I just buy food based on Price, Quailty and Taste.

I just had an awful mental flash of the guy from the Monkees in drag and blackface at the same time.

#13 I stopped shopping there Years & Years Ago, the employees went on strike (union shop) over something, which I can't remember what, forcing me to find other Grocery Vendors. I just continued to shop at their "competition", (put in quotes) because I started to compare costs and found they were among the highest price vendors in my area.

Well, I did do a "walk around" in their store about 2+3/4 years ago, after my wife died, and I was not impressed, slow service, rundown store, seemed items out of place (sugar, salt in one isle, flour in another), really higher prices, limited self check-out, just an unsettling place.
It did have a larger selection of 'ethnic food' i.e. geographically diverse supply chain, so OK.

Boycott - Nah, too much BS these days, everywhere. I just shop my wallet, after all, I'm just one person out of 10 billion+ on this planet, with time not on my side, I really don't give a ______.

#15 Boycott? No. Just stop buying from all companies that make a fetish of their Wokeness -- Coca-Cola etc.

Shift your business to non-Woke alternative providers.

#16 God loves you! God wants you to know, and believe, and feel, and see that He loves you. Love is an action, not just emotional feelings and God demonstrates His love in all ways. James 1:17-18 says “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of all he created.”

I see a lot of 'Love' here and a lot of 'first fruits'.

Great concept in marketing, buy what you want, they will tell you a story, you'll feel (?), and buy it, then go on your merry way.
