Products to Boycott |
|
|
|
The items on the list below are to be boycott for several reasons. Such reasons include discrimination, unfair labor practices, violation of civil liberties, and disloyalty to the American people. If you are a person who is sympathetic to the plight of disadvantaged masses, or have been disadvantaged yourself, PLEASE steer clear of any products from the listed companies (or at least do not buy ME anything from these companies!) |
|
|
|
Walmart and Sam's Club |
|
|
|
Their cheap prices are the effect of sweatshop labor, sexism, and anti-union practices in America and abroad |

Yoplait and General Mills |
|
|
|
Besides being a company that shamelessly broadcasts heightist advertising, Yoplait, owned partly by General Mills, is owned by France, a country that not only did business with Saddam Hussein, but also infringes (by law) on religious freedom in public schools |

Levi Strauss |
|
|
|
Not only is Levi Strauss a traitor to the American people by closing down every single American factory so that it can become richer through foreign labor, it is also guilty of sweatshop labor practices in third-world countries |

Burger King
(Only the location at 4910 W. North Ave; Chicago, IL) |
|
|
|
This restaurant has gross disrespect for its customers. When I went there one summer and ordered some food, I asked for a cup of water. The manager refused, insisting that they were selling bottled water for $1.19. When I complained to the owner, he said "Cups cost money. Water costs money. Ice costs money." Imagine refusing water to a paying customer on a summer day! |

America's Best Contacts and Eyeglasses
(Only the Downtown Chicago branch, located at 26 N. Wabash (formerly 12 E. Jackson) Chicago, Illinois 60602) |
|
|
|
This store has a severe lack of timeliness and organization for an establishment that charges money for its services. For a full account, send me an email (Go to the home page to do this). |
