When I shop, I tend to favor what is practical, money-wise and travel-wise, for me.
I like books. Traveling is difficult for me, so I frequently buy from Amazon. There is a Randall's directly across the street from my house. Even though it is more expensive than Kroger's, I can get to it quickly and under my own power, and I can use coupons, so I shop there. Ditto for Wal-Mart. It's across the street, its merchandise is inexpensive, and some more politically-correct store is not across the street. So I shop at Wal-mart.
For me, when it comes to a choice between what's practical and what is politically popular to boycott, I ignore politics. It's a luxury.
