Comic Strips

My wife told her family and all of them are very enthusiastic to join (20 ish people). Unfortunately I still have trouble convincing my family that Trump shouldn't be allowed to do illegal things

This can have an effect in exactly two ways:

1. retailers lose a bit of profit because they cannot optimize their staffing for this one day. They might be a little less profitable because they have one person at work who is not needed, for example. They might also get mad customers the next day when everybody goes back shopping and they haven't prepared for it. Similarly, they might have to throw away a few fresh products and not have them in stock later.

2. if (and only if) people buy the stuff they need somewhere else instead. If this is about grocery shopping, well, you need groceries at some point. Doesn't matter much for the retailer when you buy it (apart from 1), as long as you buy it consistently at their place.

I support the protest, but if you want to make an impact, use that day to find alternative places to do your shopping in the future.

We need PERMANENT boycotts. DON’T GO BACK!! Abandoned them and leave them to rot.

Follow what I see every Canadian is doing in the grocery store. Look up the brand and if it’s American put it back and add to the permanent no buy list.

I'm sure this one day boycott will be just as effective as the others were.

If you want results you need to put in time and have a target. Conservatives didn't boycott beer, they boycotted Bud Light. They didn't do it for a day, they did it until Bud Light gave up. Say what you will about the "why" of it, but it was effective.

You guys buy things every day ?!

It only Bugs them if enough people stoppen getting specific stuff alltogether. Like no Nestlé, Selling the car and stop the need for Gas (if possible of course).

One day off is just another days top. Doesnt hurt them at all.
