Unfortunately H-E-B is a premier, well managed grocery chain in Texas that dominates almost every city or town where it has a store or stores. Although many Texans would like to boycott the store, it is difficult due to its dominance.
Of the 22 campaign donation recipients, 16 are Republican candidates, including Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan, State Rep. Glenn Rogers, and Comptroller Glenn Hegar (who received a combined total $120,000).I didn't realize Texas was so far gone. This is awful.Of the 16 Republican candidates, Phelan and six others have been endorsed by the Texas State Teachers Association (part of the National Education Association, the largest teachers union).
Any doubt we are under “corporate socialism” now?
So true!
I like a lot of things on the Disney channel, but refuse to pay them another dime ever.
Am struggling to get off my cable, because I hate supporting most of the channels you have to. Soon I’ll get it cut. Mostly it’s the wife that refuses to learn how to work the apps on the internet.
If I had a grocery store chain in my area that did what this chain in Texas is doing, I’d have to starve to death before giving them any money. I have enough to account to God for that I’ve done, and I don’t need the kiddy diddy thing on my back, no sir.
I would find something.

Personal life
Butt is single. Butt and his family were excluded from the annual Forbes list of the world’s top billionaires beginning in 2016. The magazine changed its methodology to exclude individuals from families that share their fortunes.
Billionaire, 84, lifelong “bachelor”.
Good thing is we have a Porters about 10 miles away.
I have bothered to read only the first sentence of the article about the supermarket tycoon. That was enough. The man’s name is Mr. Butt. What’s in a name? Something is, it seems.
The Butts used to be big Baptists, with no beer and wine sold in their stores, iirc. Things have certainly changed. HEB is one of the largest privately owned companies in the country, btw.
Apparently this guy was in the know about the Big Steal prior to the 2020 election:
Sept 3, 2020
“SAN ANTONIO – In a rare move for Charles Butt, the San Antonio-based grocery chain owner wrote to the Texas Supreme Court in support of Harris County’s plan to send vote-by-mail applications to all its voters.
Harris County is in the middle of legal challenges over its plan to send applications for mail-in ballots to registered voters 65 and older” …
And Beto-boy is within 5 points? What up Texas?
The moral decay of so many people is shocking.
It won’t be the first difficult thing I’ve done and I doubt it’ll be the last.
Bye, HEB.
Butt is an asshole.
Not anymore. They just cut their own throat.
His parents must be spinning in their graves. That’s not the company I worked for in the 70’s.
Yes, my choice is pretty much Walmart, HEB, Costco. I use Costco for a few things but mostly Walmart and a small Asian shop because I HATE HEB.
.......I buy pharmaceuticals from H.E.B. because, like everything else they do...............they do a good job.
My groceries average around 1,000 per month and I buy them at a more upscale and more expensive store than H.E.B.
I would like to say it’s because I knew H.E.B. had gone woke but I didn’t know that until tonight. I buy at my more upscale store because H.E.B. is too damn big. You need a Cessna airplane to get around in it.
I will soon then move my pharmacy biz to another place that’s not woke............if I can find such a place.
I’m now disappointed in H-E-B.
A reprobate Butt.
