“Anheuser-Busch: Buy Bud Light, or We’ll Fire Some Idiot Peasants Like You”
They certainly are pushing the narrative: “Buy Bud Lite, or families like yours will starve.”
As others here have pointed out, overall beer sales haven’t haven’t dropped, so for everyone family that ‘starves’ due to a Bud Lite worker losing his job, another family is pulled out of the path towards living in a government-supplied tent in San Francisco.
Between this and their patronizing commercials, they must really think we are idiots. Consumers pick and choose what they like at the store. This isn’t the old Soviet Union. We buy the brands we want. Yes, it affects the bottom line. How many different ways are they going to find to whine about their self-induced lost sales?They have a real entitlement problem.
Having to find a new job isn’t easy but this didn’t happen in a vacuum. Stores close all the time and layoff workers, Biden shut down the pipeline jobs, the My Pillow guy got run out of Walmart, etc. There are no job guarantees. InBev needs to man up and quit whining.
