Bud Light truck drivers have been flipped the bird, called homophobic slurs in wake of Dylan Mulvaney fiasco

Truck drivers who deliver Bud Light have been flipped the middle finger and vendors have been called homophobic slurs, according to beer distributors reeling from slumping sales in the wake of the Dylan Mulvaney fiasco.

Several top officials at beer distribution companies told ABC News they have been put in an untenable position by Bud Light’s St. Louis-based parent company, Anheuser-Busch, which has seen sales of its top brand fall six consecutive weeks since the April 1 tie-up with the trans influencer.

Aside from harassing truck drivers, distributors have faced intentional collisions from shopping carts as they drop off Bud Light and vendors have been called “gay beer salesmen,” officials for the family-owned businesses told the outlet.

“I feel like my main supplier has put the wholesalers and their employees in a really bad spot,” one Anheuser-Busch beer distributor told ABC News.

“It’s frustrating.”

Another Anheuser-Busch distributor based in the Pacific Northwest told ABC News: “It’s sad that they [the boycotting consumers] can’t make that disconnect between the independent wholesale and a big corporation — it’s disheartening.”

It is and most don't under stand that there is a difference between the distributor and the maker.

With that said perhaps the distributor needs to distribute a different beer?

Trying to make those who have chosen to move away from Bud Light the evil ones. I have serious doubts about the authenticity of these “events”.

Oil companies learned long ago NOT to put their names on their tanker trucks (at least some of the companies).

Same as it ever was. The top brass make stupid decisions. The grunts bear the brunt of the pain.

Kind of like being the 1% of honest people at the FBI. As long as you work for them, you’ll be lumped-in the other 99%.

I suspect some of it is real. I will however wait till the “selfies” and tiktok videos come out of people giving the bird to Bud Light 18 wheelers. If it is happening you know it will be posted.

Chode in some places they are giving massive rebates that makes the beer free.

Yeah I blame the company

But I have no sympathy for the company

AB will be looking for all kinds of ways to be “the victim” here.

It’s their own fault.

I just told two people and they were in shock 🤯 when I showed them the pictures.

Don’t think Dylan Mulvaney is trans. He’s an actor with a brain, all though a corrupt, twisted one.

He followed the money.
