About the only reason I can think of for going into a Dick's store. I'll buy my "Oh S###, I forgot to pack my ___" at Walmart before I'll darken the door at Dick's

Except that Walmart jumped on this idiot bandwagon as well. SWMBO, of her own accord, has decided that we won't be shopping there anymore. Sam's Club, while the same parent company, doesn't sell firearms anyway, has an annual fee (read: Screening criteria), and is generally a better clientele anyway. Fuck DICK'S, Walmart, Delta, Enterprise, and the rest of these virtue signalling assclowns.

NPR: You can go into your local Fred Meyer (Kroger subsidiary) and pull the 'full cart - I forgot my wallet' bit as many times as you'd like. They're also on the bandwagon, and SWMBO mentioned she hopes they go out of business up there.

Works for me. It's gonna be a pain because the local grocery alternatives suck ass.

I buy some fishing gear at Dicks but once I empty the gift card I have I'll stick to Cabela's. I figure they already have the money on the card and they don't give back cash.

Two 20 year old employees quit very publicly, sharing their letters of resignation online. Both, from different stores basically said they couldn't work for an employer who took away their rights. No mention of lawsuits and such. Good for them. I got to thinking, get a good lawyer, and a bunch of 20 year old who work for the places that refuse to sell to them, class action lawsuit for age discrimination?
