If there’s already a thread please let me know.

I’m looking for alternatives to Ocado, Waitrose and John Lewis.

Sainsbury’s have drunk the koolaid - is there a grocer who hasn’t?

Asda and the Co-op were the retailers who were highest placed in SW's woke chart in 2017, apparently.

You know that Ocado is nothing to do with John Lewis? You’d need to ask them separately what they’re doing about Stonewall Championship.

Excellent idea, Perdita. I could do with this as a resource. The older I get, the less able I am to take physical action (go to demos, long meetings etc). But Iuse my spending/ boycotting power to support good causes.

Like the previous poster, I seldom use supermarkets in favour of small businesses.

I know this won't be a solution for everyone but my local baker and greengrocer haven't.
Big companies - it's all "rainbow washing" anyway. Easy to stick a few posters up or put a rainbow on your website for the month of June as it doesn't require actually doing much, or spending much money.
They're all doing it because everybody else is.
I wonder if market research shows them that it makes any difference to how much customers spend with them - as that's really going to be all they care about.
