This is a bit of a grey area because there are some asshole companies and asshole employees

I'd recently had an experience with a racist aldi employee only bag checking my mother because we where not one of the white people in line and that same aldi employee happened to lie about bag checking the white people ahead that we visibly saw her not check

This happened in Australia, but we live in one of the towns in Queensland not known for progresiveness

I'm planning to move to Brisbane or Melbourne once I am able too just to get away from all of the non progressive people here in my hometown

The comic isn't about boycotting locations as a whole, It's just done through a lens of someone working a minimum wage job who has to deal with people yelling at them. Especially about issues they're having and saying they're never going to shop there again. It doesn't impact them personally and getting angry at them personally won't help.
