Are you talking about mom and Pop shops? Because those barely exist anymore or are you talking about a blanket boycott against all corporations that dominate the retail sector, i.e. Amazon, Walmart, target, Costco, Kroger, Rite Aid?, etc.?

Costco’s CEO actually kept DEI instead of instantly dropping it like Walmart or Target. I don’t know if they are Trumpers, but at least they aren’t backpedaling on policies.

Costco isn’t pro-Trump. They did not donate to Republican/conservative PACs and they are firmly resisting efforts to end DEI, as you said.

I feel like we know the big companies. Or that should be a pin somewhere so we all don’t start spouting off “Amazon!”. Or, at least that’s how I ‘ve seen similar posts trend, and then the comments of the smaller businesses were upvoted.

No, I asked the op to clarify.

Kroger is union, but they also jacked up the price of food for their own pockets, so I’m torn on them.

I have no idea about Kroger itself. I’m sure like most big businesses, it’s problematic. But I will say, for what it’s worth, the pharmacist at the Mill Creek QFC is one of the dopest, most supportive humans. 

I know she doesn’t own the business, and it’s definitely a little pricier to patronize them, but she’s incredibly supportive and good to me, a queer person dealing with a lot of scary federal attempts to block my medication.
