Yeah but their online sales were very good. Too bad.

I’ll never buy from them again.

With walmart selling BLM shirts, we’ll be running out of places to shop.

BLM is a terrorist organization. THAT is why they shouldn’t be selling them.

When Target shuts down, maybe the Salvation Army can take over the unused retail space.

I think I understand what is going on here with the likes of Target. And it not based on my deep knowledge of Rocket Science.

Montgomery Ward wasn’t a good enough warning.

Not altogether, no. The whole transgender bathroom debacle is a large factor.

Voting with their wallets. Same goes for all those other stores, Macys is another one who allow men in women’s bathrooms, not set foot in one in years over priced chinese crap.

LL Bean is high but quality is great. I had two pair of khakis that lasted ten years. Also a nice waterproof hiking jacket that I still wear over ten years old.

There were plenty of other previous reasons not to shop at Walmart besides the BLM terrorism support. They are firmly in the pocket of the Gaystapo.

I made a conscious decision to go to K-mart to buy underwear rather than Target (which is closer). Sorry, I'm just not ready to buy underwear at Salvation Army. Might end up with some hand-me-down from Clinton.

Walmart has a frequent presence in most “gay pride” parades and events. When you offer that kind of promotion, you know that everything else is a given.

They score 100% on the HRC’s “Corporate Equality Index,” which means that they have capitulated to the Gaystapo’s every demand, including providing insurance to cover “sex change surgery.”

Bwhah-hah-hah! I totally boycott this store, so does my husband. Just doing our small part in the war against unhinged P.C. leftists.
