The return of two $30 pairs of gloves will not impress Linda Bean or move the needle at L.L. Bean, but it makes a big difference to me.

Dear L.L. Bean,

When I lost my favorite pair of L.L. Bean rag wool gloves last week, I immediately purchased a replacement pair online. Chronically prone to losing my gloves, I even bought an extra pair.

I’d like to explain why I canceled that order.

I’ve been a customer of Bean’s for nearly 40 years—since the days when the clothes in your catalog were modeled by staff members in the office parking lot in Freeport, Maine.

I even worked as a technology consultant to L.L. Bean in the 1990s when the catalog was integrating its first workflow software. I was told all about “Beanness”—the company’s expression of its unique culture and its guiding philosophy—and was taken on a tour of your fulfillment center. I still have the Swiss Army knife I purchased from the outlet store afterward.

I’ve played chamber music at summer festivals hosted by the University of Maine at Orono and by the Maine Maritime Academy in Castine, where I fell in love with the state’s rocky coastline; since then, I’ve always been happy to support Maine-based businesses. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on Bean merchandise over the years.

And I’ve always been willing to look the other way when Bean family members spouted lies, supported right-wing candidates whose beliefs were antithetical to my own, and endorsed right-wing causes that directly threatened me, my family, and my friends.

But this time things have gone too far.

You should read the rest of the OP link. It is delicious. Thank you Andrew Miller. I usually spend a few hundred with L.L. Bean each year - but no more.
 
I will not purchase anything from a company that I know support the orange clown. His support of an EU breakup, and the weakening of NATO borders on treason.
 
bean is pricey, I think you are cheap and do not want to replace your once free Obama gloves.

Funny how you'll call anyone who proposes policies and positions different from your established worldviews a traitor.
So you think that breaking up the EU is in the interests of the United States? Do you think that abandoning the NATO nations is a good policy? Which nations in Europe do you think that we should allow Russia to annex?

Let me ask you a question

you have three tyrants running for office

tyrant "A" promises to hit people on their heads on a daily basis

tyrant "B" promises to hit people on their heads on a weekly basis

and tyrant "C" promises to hit people on their heads on a monthly basis


Which tyrant would you vote for?

Do you invest in stocks or Mutual Funds? You better make sure none of the CEOs or Board of Directors of the companies you bought stock in "spout right wing lies". You wouldn't want to support their demagoguery, now would you? And also take a second look at all the things in your shopping cart. You could be supporting a Right Wing Fringe Hate group when you buy that box of Cheetos.
