I have a question about boycotting...

Right now, I have an active boycott against Wal-mart, as well as PepsiCo, Frito Lay, and all other Sinclair advertisers (though Mountain Dew and Frito Lay chips were really the only products that I consumed before the boycott).

However, I have been offered a part time job as what amounts to a "mystery shopper." I'm a starving college student and need the money, but what happens when I'm asked to patronize a business I'm boycotting? Would they just find someone else to do it?

I have uneasiness about kkkorporate buttkissing, but maybe if $hrub didn't propose to cut Pell grants, this wouldn't be necessary...:shrug:

1. TAKE THE MONEY & HAVE SOME FUN!

I would go and tell them things like PEPSI made you throw up and WALL-MART had a funny smell in the store you thought might be a gas leak or something!

2. Don't copycat this thread, please

It was a serious question, and I don't appreciate other people making a mockery of it.
