I’m very selective about which businesses I choose to boycott, because I take it very seriously. After Hugo Chavez went on his anti-Bush rant at the UN, I shredded my Citgo card and called 7-Eleven headquarters to advise them that, as long as they sold Citgo gas, I would not buy gas or anything else from their stores. For three years I didn’t buy so much as a pack of gum from them, but eventually 7-Eleven was rid of the Citgo brand and I was back to sipping Slurpees.
I probably wouldn’t boycott Total Wine based solely on Trone’s position on the second amendment. If I avoided every business with political opinions I disagree with, I’d have fewer shopping choices than the Amish. BUT BECAUSE HE CHOSE TO USE HIS BUSINESS AS A BACKDROP FOR A CAMPAIGN AD IN WHICH HE SPOKE ABOUT HIS ANTI-GUN AGENDA, I immediately considered myself uninvited to patronize his business, and will therefore never, EVER walk into a Total Wine Store again.
Too bad, I really enjoyed shopping there. But they don’t sell a single thing I can’t live without.
