Yes, I always shop according to my beliefs.
Yes, but sometimes I don't because there are no viable Alternatives.
Nope, I don't care it's all about me and NOW!
No, But once in a while you have to take a stand on something like Chicken.
Chick Fil A : Political (and overrated food)
Barilla Pasta : Same
Google : Weaselly advertising company building profiles on everyone
WalMart : Terrible business practices

Yeah I refuse to step foot in a Wal-Mart after working there. I mean I hadn't been in one in ages, but when I needed a job it was the only place I could get one at the time. Such a hellish experience.
Plenty of other companies I 'boycott' though for this or that reason. Unfortunately a lot of the baddies own like 15 different companies so their likely to get your money at some point.
Yes, there are places I won't spend a dime at, and companies I won't knowingly support.
I trash talk papa john's every chance I get, and haven't bought a pizza from him in years because of his rallying against obamacare.
Don't know just everywhere I have checked the price for a vehicle of the same type, preowned seems to be more expensive than new, maybe it has to do with safety features added and what not, I am not sure. But Certified pre-owned isn't out of question, just as long as it's practical.

Yeah, I am the same way problem is Papa Johns Pizza is terrible, so I didn't add it to my list, because it isn't a product I would ever purchase anyways.

I've "boycotted" a local supermarket once (never bought there again) after they sold me a broken item and refused to replace it / let me return it. I've no longer live there, but afterwards I only did shopping in 2 other shops in vicinity, never that one again. Screw the scammers.
I think about all the struggling individuals that work for these companies and realize that even if I manage to hurt the companies bottom line, its not the executives that make these decisions that will suffer. It will be the $9.00 per hour employee that can't eat.
So no, I don't really do that type of thing.
I'm really good at avoiding things for personal reasons. Maybe that's not a good thing? I don't know. Anyways, I have not shopped at Chic-Fil-A or Hobby Lobby since they...well I'm sure you know. I've also never been back to burger king after being served an undercooked burger. I mean undercooked. Also haven't had absinthe since it gave me 3 days of feeling sick...but that one is a little different. The smell or sight of absinthe makes me nauseous.

absolutely.. ive been in a personal boycott with Kitt-Katt candy due to their extremely horrible latest advertising stint. i cannot stand, hearing people crunch and chomp and chew with their mouth open thru that whole commercial. ive boycotted kitt-katt instantly ≈3 yrs ago. to this day i still avoid buying anything that associates with kitt-katt, offers a kitt-katt, and anytime one of those commercials come on tv, i instantly change the channel. this will continue until my death or they change ad agencies and produce a better commercial.
