“...but, at the same time, WM continues to sell cigarettes, beer and wine, given that cancer and alcoholism kill dozens of times more people.”


You know, if I had some spare time and was looking for a little bit of entertainment, I’d go to a WM, load up the cart to overflowing with cigarettes, beer, wine, a few household chemicals and pool chemicals, and then go ask a sales associate in sporting goods to get me some 9mm, .45 ACP and some 5.56 mm ammo. When he/she refused to sell me any, I’d ask for the manager. When the manager explained that WM doesn’t sell those products anymore, I’d ask, “Well, why not? I’ve been buying them here for years.” He’d probably say that it is corporate policy, but I’d keep pressing for the underlying reason (they’re too dangerous, people could be killed with them). Upon hearing that, I’d point to my basket and say, “So can every single item in my shopping cart. But in the interest of public safety, I’m not going to buy them and put these lethal products on the street.” At which point I would just leave.

What fun that would be if it happened in every WM 2 or 3 times a week. They’d not only have to spend a not so small fortune having associates put the products back on the shelves, but pretty soon higher level WM management would understand that they are losing a ton of money because they were a bunch of cowards for giving into the lunatic Left.

I don’t think it would cost them anything to reshelve the merchandise. It would just require the help to do more work than they’re accustomed to doing.
