Wegman's is one of the best grocery stores in the DMV area. They are family owned and carry a wide variety of high-quality products for fair, if not completely reasonable prices.

Of interest to FReepers, Wegman's was involved in dhimmitude incident a couple of years ago where a local store refused to decorate a cake for an ex-Muslim organization because it might offend Muslims. When their corporate headquarters was made aware of this, they promptly apologized to the ex-Muslim organization and did their cake for free.

They’re gonna face a worse boycott if they DON’T carry it.

They need a press release stating they will not stop carrying a product because a small, but vocal minority disagree with the politics of a relative of the brand’s owner. It would be grossly unfair to that individual to judge her products by the politics of her blood relations.

I can’t imagine boycotting a grocery store for carrying an “Obama” product while he was in office. Who cares? These people are truly cracked.

Many people are just plain stupid. Sad, but true.

I’ve been to a few different Wegman’s stores and I love ‘em - great selection and quality with fair prices. Unfortunately, the closest Wegman’s to me is in State College, PA, over an hour away. If it were closer, I’d shop there exclusively.

Here is Maryland, they don't sell wine at grocery stores, so I'm going to have to make a special trip down to the Kingstowne VA store (outside of Ft Belvoir) today to pick up a case of Trump Wine.

Ivanka’s is now #1 perfume on Amazon, for $30.
Joy Villa’s album went from #500,000 to #1 on Amazon.

Wegman’s: pull the wine from your shelf but offer it online across America.

Agreed. Wegman’s is a great store. I have one opening near me soon and cannot wait.

You know, that’s an excellent idea! I travel to the DC area frequently on business; I’ll have to do that myself.

We’re fortunate to have a Wegman’s in Mechanicsburg, PA. I shall make it a point to stop more frquently.

I didn’t know Wegman was having issues. I love the grocery store but it is expensive. However, in war, you have to sacrifice and this is a great war to win. God Bless America. God Bless the Trump Family.

All the Democrats with no reportable income or on food stamps will boycott the store.

they promptly apologized to the ex-Muslim organization and did their cake for free.
On the other hand - a few years ago here in Rochester (Wegmans' home), they hired a Mooslimb cashier, then allowed her to post a sign asking customers NOT to use the Muslim’s checkout line if they had pork or alcohol. The local outrage was quick and loud, and although Wegmans moved her to another job, they suffered some serious negative PR.

So why are customers suddenly threatening to boycott the Rochester-based grocery store chain?

************

Because they are immature and vindictive liberals.

Boycotts of Wegmans?!?!?!

That stands a snowball’s chance in hell of having the least little impact on Wegmans.

I shop there ALL the time and will continue to do so.

Wegmans is fantastic, too bad they won’t open a store in South Florida.
