Didn't bother with Walmart since I avoid it already.
Told the nice people on the phone that I'd be taking my business elsewhere, to a company whose CEO doesn't lend legitimacy to an ignorant racist in the White House.
Just my own little civic engagement. Won't do much, but hey, I'm just sitting home social distancing anyway.
It did make me feel better.

(62,444 posts)Can you imagine calling random local retail managers to give them shit over stuff they have nothing to do with? Particularly at this time?
What a shitheel thing to do.

(62,444 posts)There has been no word from police on why the suspect, a 39 year old area man, marched naked down Main Street playing a kazoo, and the proceeded to chew off his own left arm in front of shocked holiday shoppers.
As if there is some why that would make you say, Oh, okay, I get why he did that. That makes total sense.

Would that work?

(2,375 posts)I called them and complained, and told them I wouldn't be doing any more business with them.
After I hung up, I realized what I said and had to LOL.

(15,359 posts)Sure, industry can and should help.
They can do that without becoming political pawns for a racist assclown.
Flame me if you want, but anyone that could watch that slobberfest in Rose Garden and not be angry...

(62,444 posts)...but who is attempting under difficult circumstances, to manage a faculty that employs several people in the business of providing critical supplies to people in need, appreciates taking time from their day to hear from a weirdo who calls people on the phone to scold them for something they have nothing to do with.
You go, random abusive phone caller.

Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

(12,406 posts)Hourly employees would probably prefer to be home taking care of their kids or elderly parents; some are kids or elderly people. But instead they stand a foot away from the public exposed minute by minute to whatever walks through the door. They dont need a political lecture, but rather a Thanks, good job.

(5,376 posts)Did you call Nancy Pelosi's office and scold her for working with this White House as well?
maxrandb
(15,359 posts)Nancy Pelosi was not there, nodding her head like a sychophantic bobblehead doll as Donnie Dipshit lied his ass off.
I also guarantee you that she... and no Democrats will be at the bill signing. They won't be invited.
I also guarantee you that he will repeatedly tout how these "CEOs told him how great he is" at his next 20 clan rallies.
This Retrumplican Party and this president would gladly see you and I dead, simply because of the political views we hold.
I consider that to be at a warfooting with this misadministration.
Anyone who normalizes and lends him credibility needs to be called on it.
That wasn't a press briefing in the Rose Garden, that was a "bend the knee" slobberfest.
If you don't see the impact of lending credibility to this jackass, then you missed the lesson of 2016.

I don't have a doorway anymore. It's being blocked with a 7'x5' shelf full of LP records.

(146,333 posts)So, those stores are going to host COVID-19 testing centers. What a horrible thing for them to do, eh?
Think first. Call later, if you still think it's a good idea to complain about that.
Walgreen's is doing the same thing. Don't forget to call those stores, too, with your rant.

2. South Korea rapidly tests people at drive thrus using WHO test kits.
3. Democrats get mad saying "why aren't we doing this?"
4. WAY TOO LATE, drumpf decides to ask for help doing this.
5. Some companies offer up space to start drive-thru testing.
6. Democrats are mad at those companies??????????
I'm trying to reconcile how #3 and #6 can both be true at the same time???

(5,271 posts)I went in last Saturday 9 am for overdue Tetanus/Diptheria/Pertussis and I was only customer in pharmacy and also picked up some soap and bandaids and mouthwash and TP that pharmacist offered to ring up for me too so I could avoid the lines in front.
But Walgreens is much less personal with more turnover and seem less competent plus longer waiting lines, so I avoid using their pharmacy.

Call Target's corporate office or better yet send them an email and put it in writing.

(21,646 posts)1 or 2? Cuz all the calls those people must be getting right now having to handle questions during a crisis and I know they had to let you finish what ever you were saying no matter how long you went on before they could return a fake answer for customer service and move on to another call sorry but imo what a time waste
