More than likely

After such moves, it will be very difficult to trust them

A-holes listened to marketing a-holes that didn’t give a crap about who their customers are. Woke is their religion and DEI is their god.

[Well TS, what are you waiting for? Fire Hal Lawton or you’re not serious.]

I’ll be really surprised if they turn it all around.

Although I’m sure it has happened, I have not often seen a hard-core Leftist change their ways.

Too late. I’ve been done with TSC for a while now anyway. I have been dealing with mineral deficiencies in my goats and chickens for a few years now when they were on TSC/purina brands. I switched to a local feed and seed and local mill for grain and everyone is thriving again.

They could prove that they’re serious, and make Lawton undress, got down on all fours and squeal like a pig.

Good post.

Lawton is the problem.

The Board of Directors need to fire him immediately.

Years ago they did something similar with Christmas and backed off that. It’s still in their corporate blood so we shall see.

Yep, I have 3 Tractor Supply stores in about a 25 mile radius and 2 Rural Kings.

Rural King from now on for me.

Fire that POS Hal Lawton or you’re not serious.

Bingo!
He is the moron who, (if you will excuse the expression) is totally behind this stupidity.
The idiot must be fired before I will ever set foot in the store in our town.

Yes, their stock tumbled like a turd from a tall horse!
That is what “woke” them up to the self-imposed disaster.

My buddy and I were regulars at Tractor Supply. Now we hit the mom and pop feed stores. To hell with the corporate nitwits. Won’t be going back no matter what they do.

I didn’t know that.

It drives crazy to know that a few simple tasks could solve so many problems

The damage has been done, and unless Hal Lawton leaves, NO ONE is gonna go to TSC that sees his CEO job still protected. He probably has a buy-out and that would STILL keep their customer base pissed off.

Apparently Target and Bud Light weren’t great enough examples for them.

The stupidity. Decades of customer loyalty, wiped out to cater to maybe .5% - 1.5% of the population.

Sheer stupidity.
