There are many times in life when a company or organization may do something or implement a policy that you strongly disagree with and you may want to do something to make a statement exhibiting this opinion. Generally, one person taking action such as not shopping at a specific store or doing business with a certain company is not going to have much of a long-term impact, but it might make you feel better in the meantime. However, if a large number of people all band together and take action the public can influence the policy of these large corporations, it just might take a heck of a lot of people.
The question though, is just how far would you go to make a statement? At what point is your own convenience more important to you than the statement you are trying to make? I would presume that this would depend significantly on the issue and how strongly you feel about said issue, but it is an interesting point to ponder nonetheless.

While it has been an inconvenience at times, I haven’t spent my money at a Best Buy store in more than 10 years. Some of my family and friends have joined my boycott of Best Buy and while I know the store doesn’t care, it does make me feel better.
I thought of you while I was writing this post because I remember reading about that on your site some time ago. Here’s something to take this a step further for your situation…What if a new product that you really wanted was being released and they had been signed as the exclusive distributor for said item and/or had a significantly lower price on it than any of the competitors?
