That thing about Starbucks isn't true. I used to work for them and I can tell you unequivocally that it didn't happen.

I boycott the Sun and Mail newspapers.

YomAsalYomBasal · 24/06/2022 17:55

JK Rowling cause TERF.
the Sun and the Daily Mail for everything.

carefullycourageous · 24/06/2022 17:58

There are loads of companies I don't buy from, but only some I view as boycotting because it makes things harder not shopping there. Just choosing somewhere else is not really boycotting IYKWIM.

I have boycotted Amazon and Starbucks forever.

JK Rowling cause TERF

Churchills car insurance.

Back when I was a young 'un, I had a Peugeot 309GTI insured with these cowboys. Anyway, I had a contract in Manchester and the one day I forgot to put the krooklock on, it got stolen.

When it was recovered, the insurance people said they were not paying out as the suspension had been lowered by one quarter of an inch (6mm in modern money) Is that even noticeable just by looking at a car?

I told them that I hadn't done that and that would have had no bearing at all on the theft. They said it must have been the previous owner, but the previous owner was my brother, who had it for 4 years and had not lowered the suspension either.

They did cough up once I put a complaint in but I will not use them tossers again.

Tesla (will never, ever buy a car from that godawful Musk - makes my eye twitch whenever I see one)
A local curry house who are run by crooks

Why Snag Tights?

Ohsugarhoneyicetea · 24/06/2022 18:08

Lush, the Body Shop, Starbucks, the USA, just cancelled my Unison sub, basically any organisation that supports the idea that being a woman is a swishy identity rather than a biological sex class.

Ohsugarhoneyicetea · 24/06/2022 18:09

Also Ryan Air for being awful.

J K Rowling is not a TERF.

Have you actually read her essay?

PlanetNormal · 24/06/2022 18:11

Anything vegan. I picked up a pack of red lentils recently at the supermarket which had a ‘vegan’ label on them. I’m not interested in buying any such virtue-signalling rubbish, so I put them back & bought the non-vegan ones instead. Much nicer.

thatsnotmydog · 24/06/2022 18:11

NEXT they treated me very badly years ago with zero hour contracts when I worked there
