Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

How'd that go then.
As a retail manager it was business as usual, except an extra amount of Trump supporters being extra vocal about why they came out to 'stick it to the libs'. We actually did more business that day than we did the prior year.
A one day event isn't a boycott of you just give the same people the money the next day. If you want to make a difference, you have to make bigger waves. Stop shopping at Walmart forever. Don't buy another Nestle product. Cancel your Amazon prime and start buying local.
so was there additional business the next day as well then?
Seemed pretty busy. I won't know actual numbers until I run my reports today.
I doubt we will know for sure for a few days but I don't see anything so far to indicate it had a big effect. Still this is just a start. No one thinks any single thing will be silver bullet.
I'm happy to stop buying American but have no idea if it would make any difference, or even have the desired effect.
boycotting movements are over long time .this was only done one day
