Consider doing this in my supermarket.

As an American I implore you to start.

People are telling me to boycott Tesla and I'm over here like "I wasn't about to buy a $65k vehicle spontaneously but I guess won't now anyways."

My broke ass:

I won’t buy a Tesla this year. In fact, I won’t buy TEN Teslas.

When I was looking for a new vehicle last year, I had already crossed Tesla off the list because I think they're butt ugly, and I need buttons to at least operate the climate control. And I'm really glad I did.

I already skipped two/three products yesterday, one only after scanning it deliberately to find out whether I should avoid it.

Skipped products: Milka spread (Mondelez) and Schweppes. Bought European instead.
