We agree on that.

No way a retailer with hundreds of companies and thousands of items went broke because of one measly outfit.

BBB has been in financial trouble and closing stores for quite some time. Really has nothing to do with MyPillow, I’m pretty sure.

Any business model that alienates half of your potential customer base is doomed to failure

So where does one find a discount code to use for buying My Pillow items?

Used to be I would hear it on Pandora Radio, but I have not listened to them in a long time.

I don’t see them anywhere else. But then again, most of my news I get online. Don’t watch TV or listen to the radio much.

Good

I haven’t set foot in one of their stores for years.

Them canceling MyPillow pretty much sealed it for me.

I used to like to shop there 15 years ago.

Before they close the doors, every Freeper should walk in, load up your carriage with hundreds of dollars of merchandise, and then at the check-out,

ask for the My Pillow sheets set, mattress toppers, etc.

“Oh. You don’t carry them? That’s all I really came in here for......”

and walk out.

(it was the largest national retailer that stocked Lindell’s famous pillow and bed products)

Mike Lindell will continue to sell.

Bed Bath and Beyond will continue to fail.

I used to go there once or twice a year, usually only for clearance or on-sale items or to use the coupon I got in the mail. However, they had an extensive supply of kitchen gadgets that most stores don’t carry, so I’ll miss that. The store was always pretty empty, except at Christmas, and I always wondered how they stayed in business for so long.

I know several other former regular customers of BBB who did the same as your wife.

Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond went woke. Now they’re in a death spiral. I wonder if left-wing businesses have learned anything from this experience.

Yes, they were in decline... but I’m sure

It’s also because they WENT WOKE!

Plenty of us white supremicists and semi-Nazis stopped going there for ANY of their products.

BLM!
My Pillow!
covid!

they picked the wrong side.

Tucker Carlson’s show on FOX provides it. And so do many other shows on FOX.

always overpriced, too

We actually got many great deals there over the years. When they started closing nearby stores (45 min. or closer), we stopped buying there.

If we hadn't stopped buying already when they canceled Lindell, well, we wouldah then! So there!

Too bad. They had good stuff. Sorry they had financial stumbles--and then popped the poison pill to go all-out woke. Ticking off customers is . . . crazy.

Great idea. Pile on a bunch of work for some poor slob working in retail. Don’t be a jerk

“Lindell attributed the retailer’s decision to social media pressure led by “leftist groups.”

A lot more ‘righties’ than lefties out here.

I wonder how much it has to do with MyPillow. I had only occasionally shopped at Bed, Bath & Beyond. After the MyPillow incident I refuse to shop there. It’s really not sacrifice to me. I never really like the store so I’m not missing it. Maybe there are a bunch of other people who did the same, sort of quiet boycott. Combine that with a poor business model and presto, out of business.
