I hope my personal boycott helped, I did like the 1000 count Wamsutta sheets, I bought my last set during their closing sell for 70% off.

The woke will not understand why this happened. They still think that their ideology is what the majority of Americans believe.

I guarantee that the C-suite folks in Bed, Bath, and Beyond understand why this happened.

Who knew pillows and bedding products would play such a hike roll in 2020 era politics?

I have no idea what they did that y’all consider “woke”. I guess there was a woman or black person in one of their ads, but this company has been on its way out since well before racists and sexists starting using “woke” to explain their bigotry. They were killed by the rise of Amazon.

I am glad to see this. I stopped shopping there when they quit selling My Pillow.

How do you think Amazon can get a set of bed sheets to your door in less than eight hours after you order them?

A couple months ago my wife said she was going there to get whatever. I told her they pulled Mike Lindell's products because he is who he is.

She said she was going elsewhere.

No, you are the dumnass. Bed Bath and Beyond has been losing sales for the last 10-12 years now. They have been following the classic trend of slowly dying to on-line sellera, like Amazon. Not everything is about Cultural Politics, so get over yourself. Ten years ago, Target started going after their customer, and had some success, as well.

LOL. The left developed that term to describe themselves. We're calling you woke fricks what you wanted to be called.

And you note the absurdity of casting a 50+ year old morbidly obese female lesbian rapper as the Equalizer then you must be racist and sexist. That’s the only possible explanation. Beautifully done

Their stock price is the lowest now than any point in the last 5 years (besides April 2020)

I won't argue their business model sucks, but going woke was a big nail in their coffin

If theres anything women hate, its shopping around in a store full of bedding, pillows, and trinkets for the bathroom and kitchen. How could a store like that ever survive??

So the company decided pissing off 1/2 the country by not selling a red blooded Americans highly sought after products due to his politics was going to buck that trend?

Bold strategy Cotton. The reality is the best way to boost would have been to take the opposite approach. Scorched earth USA products home store. They chose poorly.
