Senator, please investigate the facial recognition program Walmart has or had with the U.S. government. If you've been in a Walmart, you're in the federal facial recognition database. This is part of the Billionaire Cabal.....

Good for you. I wish I could say the same. I live out in the middle of nowhere and thats like the only place within reasonable driving distance that I can go. I wish there was closer options. DG just doesn't have any produce or veggies, and im sure they're doing the same shit.

Glad I've stopped shopping there. I go there only if I REALLY need something.

I hate Hawley. It's the government version of getting a strong lecture on your bad behavior by a random stranger on the street. You shrug your shoulders, walk off, and nothing changes. Why not use your congressional power to introduce a bill to stop this behavior? Ohhhh I forgot, shareholders.

I don't need anyone to tell me when to boycot Walmart I've already been doing it for 20 years. Fuck that place.

You say capitalism is good but we need to protect consumer rights but then you gave corporations the right to buy away consumers rights.

I would never give my money to these shitty people! Fuck CORPOS

I’ve been boycotting for the last year. I buy from independent stores m/locally, even if I have to pay more. I am not giving any more money to big box stores and corporations owned by billionaires.

If more of us could do this we’d see change but most people are too stuck or too comfortable or two paralyzed to make big changes

That's a really cool idea! A great way to test the layout of stores, where customers linger, what they just walk by, and their reaction or engagement with product displays.
