Occupy Oakland has called for a city-wide strike and rally on Wednesday to protest income inequality, and several businesses, including Men's Wearhouse and the Grand Lake movie theater, have closed their doors in support...
The store's decision will likely meet with approval from the corporate HQ: George Zimmer, founder and chairman of Men's Wearhouse, has repeatedly donated to Democratic candidates in multiple election cycles, including progressives like 2004 presidential candidate Howard Dean and Rep. Barbara Lee (Calif.).

My dad had an absolutely rabid dislike of that man for no apparent reason whatsoever.
I guess dads are always right.

I’ve spent a few grand there over the last few years.
Wish I knew.
Never again.
AND I am going to let them know why.

I wonder if they decide to shut down Oakland for longer than one day will the businesss still stand with them?

Me too. I have one of their “preferred” cards, but there are many other sources of good, mens clothes.

That’s a shame - I’ve shopped there for my husband and two sons for years. Will have to consider going elsewhere in the future!
George Zimmer should take a look at the OWS folks and then take a look at the people who are WORKING for all the “horrible” corporations and he may notice which group is more likely to patronize his store and change his mind!

Barney Frank started for the airport until someone told him “Men’s Warehouse” is a clothing store.

Zimmer is a pot head just like the ows protesters. Georgie ("I guarantee it") Boy always impressed me as a sleazy type, much like Morrie -- he of the wig shop in Goodfellas:

I've gotten a few things there before but, my last visit there is now my
last visit there.
I also have no respect for anybody who doesnt see what a seriously stupid move this is. Why would a publicly traded company intentionally close it's doors in support of a motley group of anti-American, anti-capitalist protesters?
