| Wegmans boycott over Trump wine backfires; supermarket sells out | |
| 2017-02-22 | |
| [WASHINGTONTIMES] Calls to boycott Wegmans Food Markets, a popular supermarket chain, because it sells Trump Winery products have backfired on the Prince William County, Virginia, chapter of the National Organization for Women. A spokeswoman for Wegmans, a New York-based company, told Fox News on Monday that Trump wines flew off its shelves last week. Out of 10 locations, only its Charlottesville store did not completely sell out. Jo Natale, Wegmans’ vice president of media relations, told the network that 100 bottles of Trump Winery Meritage and 20 bottles of the Cru remained at its Charlottesville location as of Friday evening. Calls for boycotts began with a story involving Prince William County’s chapter of NOW in The Washington Post published Feb. 14. "Certainly if Wegmans is carrying Trump wines, I personally will not shop there," Terry O’Neill, president of the National Organization for Women, told the newspaper.

| #3 Great example of leftie totalitarian instincts today on Mike & Mike. "I think pizza with pineapple on it is an abomination and should be banned!!. "If you don't like it, don't order it." That first statement though said in jest, sort of, reflects the proggie mentality. The second the capitalist one. |

| #2 Obama was great for one thing--gun sales. Funny how capitalism works. There are lots of decision-makers calling the shots (no pun intended) in a free-market economy rather than a centralized government economy such as is found in failed communist-controlled countries like Cuba and Venezuela. |
