I do not buy from bp, and I only buy from Walmart if there's literally no other option. My go to department store is Target or whatever local store has what I need, usually it is the former is Walmart is the reason why Mom and Pop stores don't really exist anymore unless they fulfill a very specific niche.

My local Walmart does not get any of my business, if I go in, it's probably just to visit the Checkers renting store space from Walmart

Amazon is the mom ans pop shop killer after from 2020 on.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Doesn't suddenly make Walmart innocent, plus unlike walmart, Amazon can actually be helpful to a small community that doesn't have specialty shops. That said I recommend not using Amazon if what you are looking for can be found on a different site, actually I recommend using Amazon to browse products, and then finding another site to buy the product. I make sure to almost never buy computer parts from amazon, because there was one time I bought a motherboard from Amazon thinking it was a reputable dealer, instead it fried out and my protection plan was fucking worthless because I actually bought it from a bootlegger who filed off the serial number of the motherboard he copied. I was able to still make it out, but tech support told me what actually happened when I came to me number.

So I buy from Newegg unless the Amazon price is just that much better.

What is "BP"? I'm assuming you don't mean British Petroleum.

[-] Daeraxa@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

"British petroleum" hasn't been a thing for over two decades. ..

[-] Marin_Rider@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

ah, BP still around here and probably one of the "big 3" petrol stations. unless you mean the name itself, in which case what does BP stand for now?

[-] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I just used the old name because I wanted to clarify what I thought they meant by BP.

I thought that was kinda obvious.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

What other BP would I be talking about? What other BP regularly dumps shit into the ocean

[-] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I don't know.

I couldn't see how Walmart and BP were connected and I didn't expect you to bring up two unrelated companies like that.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I never said they were connected, I just said that I was boycotting both of them
