They are the 1%!

The other 99% should boycott

surprised???

the first time i ever walked into a Bloomingdales in NYC was 1985 with my girlfriend...within the span of 10 minutes 3 different guys hit on me while she was standing there- she thought it was funny, i was repulsed and said “i’m getting the F out of this place now!”...

But the only salient point is this? has some city withheld a permit due to their beliefs? Frankly, I don’t care what they believe. I am more inclined to support Chic Fil-A, but liberty informs us that as long as government does not reward or punish a company for their beliefs, then the concept of liberty is upheld.

Of course using the same criteria, you have to switch to Linux.

Microsoft and Apple are both off the table.

Used to be a great clothes store.

Now just a bunch of rich white urban libs shop there and fullfill Thorstein Veblen's theory of consumption.

Gays are very prominent in most retailers. They dominate in window decorating and styling manikins and styling rooms and all furnishings at a retailer.

They are a private company. If you support the right of Chick Fil-A, another private company, to take a stand on an issue, why would you be against another private company taking a stand on an issue that you might be against?

You don’t have to agree with it but it’s their right as a private company, no?

Let’s just not by hypocritical.

So is Nordstrom going to support the right of Muslims to have 4 wives? How about allowing a gay man to have 4 husbands? Will Nordstrom support the lowering of the legal age to marry (like in the Middle East where a nine year old girl can marry a 40 year old man). It never ends with liberals. Incremental-ism is the key. Eventually, they always demand more.

If I have a right to eat at Chick-fil-a because I agree with them, then why would I not have a right to boycott Nordstrom because I disagree with them? What is hypocritical about that?

Anybody who does business with companies pushing sick deviant sodomy should be ashamed of themselves.

Can’t wait for my next Nordstrom Rack email....they will get a load from me! And I’ll drop them. The Nordstrom family who started the company must be rolling in their graves
