McDonald’s is still cheaper than a regular restaurant and there’s no tipping and it’s quick going through the drive through. I rarely go there but if I do it’s typically after a long workout and I just need a quick meal with a giant coke.

Is it really anti-second amendment? One could argue it's more PR and Marketing. It's not like they're out there stopping others from selling guns or lobbying congress to ban all guns.

you should add Wells Fargo to your bank ban list

You could have stopped there.

Is this really a boycott?

It may seem silly, but even though I may disagree with Strobro I support his choice to not shop somewhere. I like that use of consumer power against larger interests.

The shopping public must remember their rights in a capitalistic world. Corporations yield unreal power in government, corporations have more power than government.

The reason I defend a choice is that is because it isn't always some blow hard CEO making a Tweet or FB post. There is sometimes hard cash flowing from the coffers of organizations to shady PACS and organizations. Cash that influences policy. Then the lies. A-la-Facebook lying to Congress and blowing money to divert policy and attention away from themselves.

There has to be a fuse.

Users could end Facebook and ruin them tomorrow if they wanted. Instead of being consumerist morons we could say 'nuff is 'nuff and all log off for a month.

I hear sooooo many complaints about stuff from people continuing to patronize places. I just don't get that.

If we want the power to the people we have to stop patronizing places that exert undue influence on our republic.

My kids buy this. :(

It’s the concept. Last time I went to McDonalds it cost $18 for me and my daughter. She’s 10. For maybe $22 I could have gone to The Fix in Worcester Ma and had one of the best burgers in all of New England rather than one of the worst.

I still lapped everyone on the couch!

I boycott all burger chains since reading "Fast Food Nation" about 15 years ago. I'm not putting that crap in my body..

There are several local restaurants that I stopped going to because they started pushing political candidates with which I disagreed back in 2012.

Fiji water is still cheaper than Ted or Voss water...and I think those are just distilled water from the sewer plant.

If you're concerned about pork, perhaps you should try ham, bacon, or sausage.

Yeungling is garbage water, so that's not hard for me

However, at first it was hard to pass up $15.99 15-packs of All Day IPA

Strike One was selling out

Someone from another forum alerted me to Strike Two & Strike Three

... but 21st Amendment Brew Free or Die IPA is $16.99/15-pack = the extra dollar won't kill me

For me I don't do the political / spokesperson / agenda boycott. I'm buying a product, if it's a good product, I'll continue to buy it.

Except for McDonalds. Years ago they ran an ad campaign with the most annoying jingle ever, and I vowed to not step foot in their restaurants again for putting that vile tune in my head, usually for several minutes after the commercial aired. Plus, I noticed the patronage of said restaurants... I don't even want to share the same air with some of these people, yuck. Easy to drive by them and get something elsewhere for ~$1 more. The only thing I miss is the fries, those are the absolute best fast food fries anywhere.

Trek. Because Lance.

Yeah, I know, I'll get over it some day. Maybe.

I think the religious reasons have more to do with trichinosis. Not knowing about parasitic infections, its easy to assume that if you get sick eating a certain animal means that God doesn't want you to eat that...

Little Friskies is shit. I tried it once and never again. It's on the Boycott list;)

USAT - I try at least. For fee that keeps growing I feel I get nothing. I want course distance certification (and safety.. side roads no slow zones).

WTC - taking out grass roots races, killing Olympic distance racing.

Since people bring up McDonald's... I boycott anything that makes false healthy claims. They haven't done that recently, but I still won't go there

Don’t like the smell. It’s ok when cooked like in chicken noodle soup. But fresh and raw, it’s very pungent to me.

I had a really bad experience with a bike fit @ Moment Bicycle. It wasn't a bad fit, just very bad customer service.

Pulse Endurance: Expensive AF. They do "bike fits" for people but they are not really good at it, and they sell you whatever bike they want to get rid of. I have a friend that is 5'9" and they sold her a 48cm bike. She looks huge on her bike, and her fit is horrendous.

when do you realize that you are the problem if you break every frame ...

He has to be doing something wrong. Seat stay to rear dropout junction.. something with how the rear wheel is being tightened down with the QR? Frames don't just break all the time. At the risk of sounding insensitive is rider weight the problem?
