There are those who just don’t think the way I do. So be it. Anyone that excludes law enforcement would not have my business.

I think that is where common sense has left us.

marzig20 As much as the “current” mentality tries to squelch what “momma said” decades ago, they can’t erase good old common sense.

Very true! Unfortunately common sense doesn’t seem to be so common anymore.

Ya know: not everything “changes” from the past to the current. It’s still relevant TODAY.

But, the saying is something like this: Stupid IS, Stupid DOES. It even makes it laughable because they believe they’re correct and blame someone else for their demise.

They are just a place I don’t want to support and have turned around many times. Like you said: I support until I see their mindset in front of my eyes. Those type of people don’t deserve my dollars. Period. There’s only been five in the last 2 years. The vast majority of small businesses are NOT sooo stupid to exclude.

I feel the same way about small businesses in New Orleans. While I have such fond memories, I just can’t risk safety of my wife and family. I have to be content with the memories.

I just observe and do the best I can. I strongly believe in supporting the small local business owner, and until I see indications otherwise, I support them.

Some of these were in questionable areas, but never had an issue. I now I wouldn’t go back to those areas, great folks and memories, too bad.

Chef Fair enough. Obviously larger companies there’s lots of info out there. I was thinking more along the lines of smaller, mom and pop places that you may come across while traveling, etc. It’s something that I don’t know how to find out, and wasn’t sure your strategy for these types of places.

My concern now is will I feel safe trying to visit some of these small mom and pop places though no fault of their own. I can’t imagine the stress these small operators are experiencing in crime ridden cities. There is a lot of great cuisine available in Chicago. Would I go there to eat, hell no!

I’m sure that some sill evade me, but I do the best I can. Companies like Coke, Disney, Home Depot, … and the list goes one.

I try to spend wisely with companies that share my value system and avoid companies that support an agenda that disapprove of.

I never assume the worse. I just don’t assume people are of a like value system. I just like to be informed.

Haven’t been to Starbucks or Target in a number of years and some other food locations that I can’t think of right now. Plus, I really don’t care what people think about me saying NO. I just don’t any attitude that “excludes”. Period.

Is it one of those situations until it’s fine until they tell you otherwise, or do you assume the worst until they prove themselves?

I only support what is within my value systems.

People must stand up for what they believe.

This is why I only support companies that represent my value system. If a company supports agendas that I do not believe in, then I don’t shop them.

Anyone that has questions about companies and their agenda are free to contact me. I will be honored to show the truth.
