if you've gone enough to know the managers.

I'd write an old fashioned letter to the CEO too. He/she may not care, but at least he/she knows they lost a customer over this. After he/she gets a few thousand letters, it might register. YMMV.

I believe they have a suggestion box, lol.

Maybe when millions of customers avoid them, they will reconsider or go out of business. Probably go bankrupt "in service to their Lord".

I'll be driving past their Hobby Lobby to go to Michael's.

And sometimes I'll go on a Sunday "just because."

Gods only know who owns Joanne's.

For every single thing that we possibly can.

We need to make ACTIVE efforts to find local businesses that offer products and services that we need. Most of our country simply goes to big business for their needs (probably because everyone else does and the ubiquitous advertising/brainwashing that they can afford to dole out).

Small businesses do not have the marketing dollars that big business has, and we need to wake up more of our fellow citizens to the importance of shopping local business establishments.

There are several local arts and crafts and fabric stores in my city, and I will do my part in spreading the news of their existence to as many people as I can.

Sometimes I need something fast and those places are farther away and have more difficult parking. But I hear you. Think I will be making more trips to my locally owned places.

For those who don't know, it's visiting a store to examine their merchandise for purchase elsewhere.

anti-women policies. Screw them. They now join a not insignificant group of RWer owned businesses that I hope fail.

It's the replica part that freaks me out. It feels so superficial.
