The one they have/had in Plant City, Florida does/did.
Why should they care? It's not like you're going to boycott them. You didn't boycott the NFL.
And do they lock their doors and gates at night? RACISTS!................
Disgusting I went on their facebook page and told them to BUILD THE WALL!
84 getting a LOT of pushback on its facebook page. This is going to cost the company business big time.
True dat.
It does seem a bit unusual that a company would spend millions of dollars in advertising just to send their customers to Home Depot!
If only 84 Lumber's female illegals had crossed the border in an Audi.

We have Lowes, Home Depot and a couple of local owned lumber yards. No 84 Lumber within a hundred miles................
Mom & daughter happily skipping through Mexico, alone!?
Didn’t watch rest of video but did they include the part where they get kidnapped by cartels? raped by coyotes? starvation/dehydration?
They’re getting hammered on Twitter.
Even better if she slipped a note under the door, and the envelope came back, with a key to the door.
Remember when the point of super bowl ads was to make people laugh? I had to explain this to my kids - the ads used to be funny. Now they are attempting to bash us over the heads with some PC BS.
You mean like a bribe? ;)
This reminds me of central America border adventures I had in the 80's - I put money in my passport and sailed through customs with no inspection (I was getting printing press parts across the border without getting them stuck in customs). SOP, it seems.
Never heard of them until the Super Bowl.
With the wall and the door, it is actually the Trump plan. They should not have run the ad without the proper ending. Real bad idea. They should have backed out of the commercial.
Why would you want to take a chance on alienating as much as half your customer base? It's just not wise. Now during my career, my clients have included offices of Planned Parenthood, various Labor Unions and some Democrat congressional or party offices. I bit my tongue and politely conducted my business transactions with them. They never had a clue as to my political leanings. That's how business professionals were once expected to conduct themselves.
What has changed? I believe that the bullying tactics of the Left have changed business culture and have intimidated certain businesses to engage in "virtue signaling" - much like the businesses in the early years of Nazi Germany felt they had to behave to survive as the Nazis consolidated their power. They would actually put signs in their storefront windows saying that Jews were not welcome. I think we are perilously close to having certain businesses closed to conservatives, or at least make them feel unwelcome.
This trend must be reversed and I'm confident that it will once the Trump Administration finds its sea legs (we are still only in the third week).
Good analogy.
The Left has politicized EVERYTHING. Anything fun now must be used to beat anyone who disagrees with their politics into submission. We always looked forward to the commercials. Yesterday we used the time for potty breaks. Leftists simply cannot deal with anyone having FUN. They want everyone to be as miserable as they are. Football did itself a great disservice when they allowed for players to ‘take a knee’ and it will be interesting to see if they can bounce back from that next year. The Super Bowl was the first NFL game we watched this year (couldn’t miss Brady’s quest for another title :). We will see how next year goes.
I wonder why 84 Lumber didn’t bother showing members of the MS-13 gang, or the Norte Ortenos that have crossed over the border and currently reside in prison. Better yet, why didn’t they show the parents of Kate Steinle who was murdered by an illegal immigrant that had been deported five times?
‘Why would you want to take a chance on alienating as much as half your customer base’
Perhaps the Soros money is also being used to intimidate companies into speaking out for Leftist causes? Maybe the CEOs of these companies just figure they can do without half their revenue? Doesn’t seem to be good business practice to me.
That is no accident. Socialism cannot help but go down this road. It is built on envy and hatred from start to finish.
