Next time I see the Coca-Cola delivery guy stacking boxes at the supermarket I’ll be sure to let him know why I’m not buying Coke anymore.

I’ve already stopped using Kraft products because the use fetal stem cells in their r & d. They are making bad choices.

The companies need to be reminded that blacks are only 15% of the population.

I shall no longer support Kraft, Kraft Nabisco.

There are so many alternative to each of their products, that it’s easy to do.

I bought Hidden Valley Ranch dressing and Best Foods Mayo today.

And I left the Sunshine Cheese Nips when I realized that is a Kraft product.

They “bowing to consumer pressure” my eye.

They are bowing to Alinsky leftist tactics. Big mistake on their part.

Why complain to him? He’s just a working stiff who’s trying to put a roof over his head and feed his kids. You’re barking up the wrong tree if you have a problem with him.

I stopped using Kraft mayo a long time ago. They changed their recipe and it’s terrible; Best Foods or Hellman.

So is this all it takes anymore-——a filthy leftwinger simpers that he doesn’t like something, and huge companies immediately fold and do his bidding? When did liberal screechers become so threatening and scary?

Shop at Aldi’s and give up all the brand names. The quality is just as good if not better and the prices are much better.

None of those products will darken my door again.
but but but the marshmallows are the best ever for over an open fire. What am I going to do? What if I bought them on a secondary market?

Because he's on the front line and when he goes back to his warehouse he can give actual feedback. He's not a PR flak who can dismiss any complaints as a chain letter campaign from interest groups. Those of you too timid to bring the fight to the front lines are part of the reason why Dems always get their way in the PR wars.

“Why complain to him?”
“He’s just a working stiff”
____________________________________________

Nothing wrong with letting the employee know that you
will not continue to support his employer’s products.
Maybe the poor “stiff” will start looking for a new employer.
