    I think it would be fair to destroy product you see in stores. something to weaken plastic on the outside of bottles, or shaking them. things that make product unsellable, or make it make a mess.

    these companies are beyond evil, clearly simple “im not buying this” doesn’t work; retailers must be punished for stocking this shit.

            see, reducing demand at a retailer level is a lot easier to democratize and give kids to do so they feel empowered. plus it makes them think about OTHER products that are associated with awful shit. maybe, someday, I could even go grocery shopping without having to google every single god damn thing I put in my cart!

        Some retail stores now operate on a model where they essentially rent shelf space to wholesalers, who are responsible for stocking the shelves and keep all the money from sales of their product.

      Your motivation is honorable, but this plan would only impact innocent retail employees and would not hurt Coca-Cola at all. I like your initiative, though.

          And small corner stores lose money?

          If you want to do something, go slash the tires of Coca Cola execs. Or put some sugar in the tank of their private jet

            if those small corner stores can’t be ASKED to stop stocking coca cola, their profits are not my concern. they are choosing to stock that shit. may as well say the power company can sue me when I install an efficient fridge.
