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.
