VANITY: Won't be renewing my membership at a certain virtue signaling "warehouse" store

Posted on 09/13/2020 1:23:01 PM PDT by AbolishCSEU

My membership is expiring this month at "BJ's Wholesale" a warehouse club store out of Massachusetts. Recently they closed one of these stores in my upstate NY town (before Covid fiasco) so I go to a local town nearby to buy cheaper gas and certain items in bulk.

Much to my chagrin, several (mostly younger) workers were wearing company sponsored "end racism" tshirts. That was it. I was on the fence about renewing anyway since the one close by has closed.

We should end racism...though we know that’s not what they are talking about.

Thanks for the post.

We get mailers (here in CT) asking us to sign up for membership.

I guess they settled that question...add to the long boycott list (yawn).

So you’re signalling your virtue about this store that you figure was virtue signalling?

You’re quite virtuous, laws yes.

Only in a Liberal world can Racism be solved by being Racist.

An oxymoron if there ever was one.

I have ‘no problem’ with the NBA/NFL and the sponsorship of BLM, it is just a JJackson style extortion and I chose to not participate.

So, once they promote BLM I say ‘fine’, BUT since you won’t let me promote A(ll)LM, W(hite)LM or B(lue)LM or even mention it aren’t THEY being racist in the name of racism?

The simple life is ‘gone’, every thing is now so confusing....

Also MLB has a hold on Players reactions as I seriously doubt that ANY of the Latinos would go along with the program of shutting down and go back to the sugar fields of ???, so if the Blacks and White ‘supporters’ don’t play, there are thousands of qualified players waiting in the wings.

I am indeed many things but I'd put "virtuous" near the bottom of the list.

No to worry - BJ’s will probably be out of business before the end of the year. The chain is in deep financial trouble and is on credit hold with some of their largest suppliers.

I dare anyone to try and even mention the systemic racism against white people in this and many other countries.

Racist against white people is out of control.

Well, there *is* that 1969 orange Dodge Charger that Bud is selling the next town over the hill.

That would look just fine in the front yard under that big maple tree, don’tcha think?
