Nobody should legally pressure you to boycott anything just because one person did something or said something that provoked a protest.
If a boycott happens, not only will it affect the store, but it will also affect everyone else.
If people want to boycott McDonald’s or Starbucks, please do that away from me. All I want is to eat my McChicken and drink a large iced vanilla latte without being bothered.
All I want is to enjoy a nice day with my food and use public transportation without having people saying “You need to stop supporting this group. Do you want to make people feel uncomfortable?”
If people just want to rant without any appropriate and solid information, then I am going to leave and mind my business.
Unless the boycott has a reasonable explanation behind it to convince me why I should join in and stop using a product, I won’t be partaking.
If no one can give me three good reasons why I should boycott something that I really like, then they have misleading information or just want to say whatever they want.
Boycotting is a waste of time for everyone. What if Starbucks orders a bunch of delicious food to sell and all of a sudden people refuse to buy it?
It was just a waste of time and money because in order to buy the food, they had to use my money to order it.
I just find it one of the dumbest things that can ever happen because of a boycott that will only last a couple of days or so.
I think it would be better if the product is no longer available to the public rather than having to temporarily shut down. Why? Well by the end of the day, everyone would be using the same crap once again.
The last thing that I want is to have someone give me the side eye while I enjoy my food because it makes me very uncomfortable.
I really don’t like having to talk about politics and war when I am enjoying my food during a
lovely day. If people want to talk to me, then they will have to wait until I am done eating my food.
I understand boycotting is a form of freedom of speech, but not to the point where people are going to stop temporarily and go back to doing the same thing all over again.
It really pisses me off how people are against certain companies at first, for about a week or a month and once it stops, they go back to their normal routine and buy their red cup with a gingerbread latte or caramel macchiato.
