So far my list includes Comcast, EA, and Nestle. Tell me yours, and I’ll help out.
Boycotts aren’t going to kill a company. They are to influence them.
I did boycott ChikFilA when it came out they were supporting homophobic asshats. And once they announced they were dropping those charities, I stopped boycotting.
I use CVS over Walgreens as long as I can get my prescriptions at CVS due to Walgreens stances against women’s health. If Walgreens ever cleans up, I would happily use them more often because they are more convenient and inexpensive for me.
I only go to Shell gas stations as a last resort because they blast ads at you while pumping gas.
At most gas stations, you can mute the ads by pushing the second from the top button, sometimes on the left side sometimes on the right.
I hate the ads too, but muting makes them bearable.
I’ve seen this mute mentioned, but never had it work. Is it for real? Every place has these ads now 😐 I don’t get fuel on my personal vehicle very much much but I drove a lot for work and it is awful.
Sounds like maybe newer pumps don’t work like this? At least in my area, I’ve only had this fail once.
Well I tried this later yesterday on a brand new as of August fuel station, and it worked!
Thanks for the reminder to keep trying.
Since these tricks have become common knowledge, they’re all being disabled. New pumps cannot be silenced.
If you need another reason to get an EV, you don’t get ads when you charge at home.
Did they ever really stop? Honest question, because I’ve heard it go back and forth a lot
They’re still run by evangelical Christians, so I wouldn’t expect a Pride month advert campaign coming from them any time soon.
But yes, they stopped donating to a particular group of charities in 2018/2019. Part of the “then they started donating again” claim was timing and tax records, but the actual donation was made before they changed policy and stopped.
Sounds good, I’ll keep eating at Raising Cane’s instead cause their chicken is so tasty to me
