Anthony Cook+FollowDollar General Drama: Should We Care?So, Pastor Jamal Bryant is calling out Dollar General for not playing fair in rural towns—think fewer fresh food options and not enough chances for local folks to move up at work. He’s not asking for a full-on boycott, but wants people to speak up online and let Dollar General know we notice. If you shop there, maybe ask yourself: are they really helping your community, or just cashing in? #MoneyTalk #CommunityMatters #ShopSmart #Shopping1537Share
gordonangela+FollowWhy Costco Wins When Target Fumbles DEIHere’s a hot take for your next coffee break: companies that stick with diversity and inclusion are actually winning with shoppers. When Target dialed back its DEI efforts, shoppers noticed—and so did their sales, which dropped almost 3%. Meanwhile, Costco doubled down on its DEI game and saw both its reputation and revenue jump. The lesson? People want to spend where they feel good about the company’s values. So, if you’re deciding where to shop, maybe let your dollars do the talking! #MoneyMoves #ShopSmart #DEIMatters #Business110Share
Jordan Williams+FollowWhy Walmart & Target Are Sweating BoycottsHeads up, shoppers: Walmart and Target are quietly stressing over possible boycotts as customers get heated about new store policies. Both brands are caught in the crossfire over social issues—think diversity programs and price hikes. The drama? When these giants tweak their stances (like pulling Pride merch or rolling back diversity efforts), they risk ticking off just about everyone. For us, it means more policy flip-flops and maybe even higher prices as stores scramble to keep everyone happy. #RetailDrama #MoneyMoves #ShopSmart #Shopping132Share
