How much better would this country be if companies didn’t bow to the mob on everything?

Whether it’s from social justice types to busy body Karens on Facebook bitching about employees not wearing masks (among other things). What if companies just told them to kindly go frick themselves instead of bending over backwards to try and please a group of people that will never be pleased?
In my time in the workforce, I’ve learned that the whole “customer is always right” thing is horseshite. The customer isn’t always right and I’d venture to say that most of the time, they’re wrong.

It would make a massive difference. Part of the reason so many of us are quiet about politics is fear of losing our jobs.

Chick-fil-A stood up a couple of years ago and it didn’t affect their business. Let’s see what Goya does.
It’s funny it seems the people that don’t apologize end up better off in the long run.

It certainly would be a better look for corporations. The “silence is violence” types are mostly not big spenders anyway. By not taking a political stance, you can still provide the best possible product without alienating half of your consumer base

It helped their business if anything. But now they’ve gone woke as well.

Enterprise Rent a Car has a great corporate structure and they gave me the tools to be my own boss.

A lot.
Allowing anonymous Skinny Jeans Sky Screamers (who hate business and commerce anyway) to brow-beat their way into a board meeting is insane.
Take a chance, corporate pussies....They'd all come back.

I’m thinking the only way to fix this is for the right to do the same exact thing.
If the right was as fervent about boycotting companies and sponsors as the left is, businesses would realize the smartest course of action is to simply stay out of the political fray.
As it is now, they bow to the leftist mob because they know there will be no real push-back from the right.

Times were better when it was frowned upon to talk politics in public and was only social acceptable among close friends.

Today, people think they know better and those norms are “out-dated”. We’re now finding out why those norms were there in the first place. People back then knew what society would be like without the tried and true wisdom they lived by.

I'm just waiting for my time to be part of the mob.

Yeah, Chick-fil-A actually benefited greatly by standing up to the Twitter mob. I was still a senior in college working there at the time. There was a line out to the street all day long, and I believe the store sold out of almost every single item that day. The same thing happened at a ton of other Chic-fil-A stores that day.
I would love to see companies tell these people to frick off. Would definitely go out of my way to support any business that did.

This nonsense certainly wouldn’t have gone as far as it has if corporations would’ve told their loud employees and customers to get fricked. Unfortunately as we’ve seen in the last 2 months is no one is willing to take a stand and the pressure of everyone else apologizing, bending the knee, and making a ‘statement’ just snowballed.
It’s pathetic and will do nothing long term to help their business. I’d wager those who do take a stand may end up profiting more.

As a former employee of Chick-fil-A you should know better than to use that type of language.
