    Yes, and the sad part is that almost no one will have the guts to boycott these 12 stores. I know it’s not the customer’s fault the penalty is so small, but it’s almost like people in power could be found to have murdered families and children and people would still buy their stuff.

      Less about guts than the fact no-one will see this ruling; news content is so global and so quick that it will pass up most who need to see it.

        This is the reason that “just don’t buy from bad businesses” is a terrible solution. Even if someone magically know who was bad at a point in time a company can change for better or worse and there is just too much to keep track of.
