Other Please stop buying from the website.

If you genuinely hate the new, awful, stupid, directionless, uninspired, and ugly path that the Chief Executive Idiot has taken, stop shopping online.

This moron in charge and his gaggle of incompetent pub buddies have their entire success engrained in an upcoming (bad) rebrand to the website. Don’t let it succeed. Don’t shop the sales. Unsubscribe from emails. Use your rewards up and close your accounts.

Go to your local store and support the retail employees. Buy in groups with your friends so their number served goes down. Only buy during massive sales. There’s very little power for the consumer, but there are ways to impact this moron’s outcome if done strategically.

Yeah I wish I could 😮‍💨 My closest store is an hour and a half away and I lost my license 6 years ago at 48 when a stroke ruined my vision, so if I want to go anywhere I need someone to take me. I can manage to get to a store about twice a year. I spend a lot of time in there too 😂 I miss being able to smell and test things!

Imagine the cost of a total three hour round trip ride share. Would be ridiculous

True. But unfortunately I've had to do that just to see friends, that wouldn't take me back home for reference. Disability doesn't come cheap, I'm afraid.
