Walgreens Boycott

I've also recently encountered an unfulfillable desire to "vote with your money": medical supplies. i have to buy my prescription medications even if I hate Bayer or EL or purdue because it's legal and Desirable under capitalism to restrict the ability to produce vital drugs and medical equipment.

Not to say that what you buy doesn't mean anything. boycotts Do work (although they only function to force change when there is a unified front with express demands). but "just stop participating in the system" usually isn't doable.

we should do everything we can AND we as consumers are not solely responsible for the practices of those selling to us.

I feel like we don't talk enough about how the whole "capitalism is a democracy! vote with your dollar!" myth falls apart once you're dealing with a company that doesn't sell directly to individual consumers

Like say you want to boycott Norfolk Southern after the East Palestine disaster. Presumably you're not in the situation where you personally do business directly with Norfolk Southern, so that's not an option. Products don't have stickers telling you what freight company shipped them, two of the same product sitting right next to each other on the same shelf may well have been handled by two different companies and there's no way for you to tell. And in some cases companies like that may have monopolies on transporting certain goods in certain areas, so you couldn't make a different choice even if you knew. How could you possibly say that such a situation is "democratic" and decided on by consumers?

Capitalism enjoyers love to pretend that the whole economy is Tommy trading his apples for Mary's flowers in a mutually beneficial exchange and ignore 99% of the nuance in the economic system they claim to believe in

Walgreens won't distribute abortion pills in states where Republican officials have threatened legal action — including some places where abortion is still legal and available.

Sometimes when I’m frustrated at a chain restaurant or chain store, I look up the subreddit for the workers and read through their complaints. I once spent an hour at a McDonald’s drive thru (pre boycott) reading the top posts on r/McDonald’s employees and it was super entertaining while also making me way more patient. Anyway I’ve been at the Walgreens pharmacy for 20 minutes it’s time to find their subreddit.

Last year Walgreens was allowing its employees to refuse to sell contraception based on the employee’s religious beliefs.

THIS YEAR, the story is that they were somehow “forced” into caving to Republican wishes even in the states where abortion is still legal!

Walgreens sided with Republicans & the religious reich a loooong ass time ago. This is a super easy boycott. Wherever there’s a Walgreens, there’s almost always a CVS within spitting distance. And if CVS slips up, there’s a Rite-Aid, a 7-Eleven, or something else nearby.

Please make Walgreens feel some pain where it counts—in their wallet.

This is what happens when you give religious zealots even a little bit of power. Walgreens is begging to be boycotted out of existence.

A pair of shoppers at a Walgreens in Wisconsin said an employee refused to sell condoms to them on religious grounds — something Walgreens said is permitted under its policies.

Nathan Pentz tweeted earlier this month that his partner, Jess, went to buy condoms at a store in Hayward because she forgot her birth control. He said when she went to the checkout, the cashier said he would not ring up the condoms, because of his faith.

Pentz also tweeted the couple's customer service response to Walgreens, which said the employee "embarrassed her in front of other customers because of her reproductive choices."

In a statement to NBC News, a Walgreens spokesperson said its employee's actions did not violate company policy.
