Today I was very disappointed in one of the local businesses that I’ve been shopping at for a decade. This pandemic definitely brings out the best/worst in people. Employees had masks on (most the time) but instead of being greeted with a design or plain face covering, you’re greeted with a TRUMP 2020 mask. As a business I’d think they would want to make ALL customers feel 100% welcome and ALL customers comfortable. I asked if the owner knew they were wearing those masks and the reply was “yes, they bought them for us”. I’ll take my business elsewhere until Bredfields of CR can support ALL their customers. I don’t even care if it’s a TRUMPSTER business I’m supporting, as long as they are respectful of my differing political views. This was blatant disrespect and a poor ethical business decision.
I have shopped at Bredfield's True Value for as long as I can remember, and their courteous staff was always helpful. However, in my most recent visit (early August, 2020), I was greeted with a female staff member wearing a "TRUMP 2020" face mask. I found this to be very rude and disrespectful of others' opinions (political or not), and left the store immediately. Starting today, I will refrain from shopping at Bredfield's, so long as that woman's pathetic, partisan behavior continues to go unaddressed by store management.
I have never been more disappointed by a local business. At least big box home improvement stores respect their customers, and not just their money.
