Bud Light boycott is costing sales staff up to $2,000-a-month as sales tanked as much as 60% over the Memorial Day weekend - amid fears 'good people are going to start leaving brand because they aren't making money'

Salespeople working for independent wholesalers that sell Anheuser-Busch beverages are feeling the pain in their wallets of the ongoing boycott of Bud Light following its partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Sales of Bud Light have declined for seven consecutive weeks after the product endorsement from the controversial TikToker garnered immediate backlash.

The partnership sparked protests and backlash and parent company Anheuser-Busch has shed $27 billion in value in mere months.

Playing a proton size, not the Planck length, violin out of a quantum of sympathy. Oh well, I guess there are not enough Rainbow people who drink beet to make up for all the normies pouring Bud Light and InBev products down the toilet.

Excellent.

They bought their tickets, I say, let ‘em crash.

Incomes have been slashed for the salespeople who work at the roughly 500 independent wholesalers that sell Anheuser-Busch products to restaurants, bars, and grocery stores.


Well, find better product but choose wisely................

Budweiser trying to guilt trip the beer drinking American; “(t)hese people are our neighbors, family members and friends. They are in every community in America.” You should have thought about when you gave an elite credentialed woman who probably has never drank a beer since her Harvard days and lives in a multimillion residence in Manhattan the marketing job.

This boycott works because not only are people not buying it, but also people don’t want to be seen in public buying or consuming it, because they don’t want to be ridiculed.

Ridicule works! And it’s high-time we used it more often, the Left has used it for years.

At what point do shareholders have a case to sue the company for not acting in good faith? Has AB Inbev fired that marketing exec yet? Last I heard she was still on her leave of absence. The Q2 earnings call is going to be interesting

Gate-keeping glowies like Hannity helped suppress organized boycotts, but they only put off the inevitable pain of larger, spontaneous boycotts. In fact, this is worse than the standard “boycott.” They ain’t coming back.

The Daily Mail had a recent article about her. She is still on leave enjoying plenty of free time in her $6 MM Manhattan residence.

This article is like: “but there are so many good, conservative people in the rank and file of the FBI.”

My reply is: Then they, above all others, know the situation. and have a lot more power than we do to correct management’s corruption and immorality. No doubt the Gestapo also had many decent, regular Joes “just doing their job and trying to make a living....”

Poor babies.
Look for another job.
The gravy train has ended at AB.

Amen.

A friend is printing-up tiny stickers, much like the Joe Biden "I did that" ones you see stuck on gas pumps. He's going to stick them to cases of Bud Light wherever he can, without running afoul of the law. Can't wait to see what he's come up with.

The most VALUABLE asset in retail is shelf space.

Vendors and distributors have fought years to get lots of eye level prime space.

Right now Bud Light’s retail shelf space is nothing more than inventory.

If products don’t move, retailers must make adjustments.

Consumers struck the first blow.

Retailers adjusting shelf space for Bud Light will be just as big if not bigger blow.

Tells me AB Inbev isn’t really sweating anything too bad right now, as long as she is kept on staff. At this point, AB Inbev has to be discussing, if only whispers at this point, either cutting BL line completely, or seriously majorly rebranding.

Even a minor right-wing figure like Donald Trump Jr. could have stepped up and lead the boycott, managing the beginning, middle, and end game, but he’s too stupid.
