In the past I used to love Hobby lobby and the fact that it was owned by a Christian appealed to me. a store that shared my values and beliefs as well as carried scrapbook items for one of my hobbies. After an unnamed friend shared with me some background information about the CEO David Green and the man he really is I've decided to boycott hobby lobby. Yes they are "Christian" owned and closed on Sunday but that is where the values and "christian" part of the company ends. Employees have been treated unfairly, the store has been short staffed and other poor choices made by the corporate headquarters. I feel that as we shop at Hobby Lobby we are funding Mr Green's lifestyle. He doesn't appreciate his hardworking "little people" aka the employees that run his company. Join me and standing up for your beliefs.

I am hearing from more former employees who were pushed aside by corporate decisions. Post this link on Facebook to show that we see exactly how they treat their staff. Email your local store manager today to tell them why you are taking your business elsewhere.

The momentum behind this boycott is undeniable and shows that people are finally seeing past the company marketing. Post this link on your Facebook wall today. Send a direct email to your local representative to demand better labor standards for retail employees.

I am a Christian. Hobby Lobby does not exemplify Christ's teachings. Its motive is to make a profit from cheaply made and likely unregulated potentially cancer causing materials made in other countries by poorly paid exploited workers. It promotes male sex and unlimited Viagra. People who call themselves Christian but don't read the bible (name a passage where Christ said anything about birth control) do not get my money
I shop quite a lot at Hobby Lobby. This will no longer be the case. I have a choice of various other craft stores near my home, so good-bye Hobby Lobby. Too bad you care so little for your employees. I do see a lot of "Made In China" products in your store. China is a communist country aka: not Christian. It just seems hypocritical to enforce your so called religious views on your female employees but still support a communist country. So, guess I will choose to shop elsewhere. I will try my best to influence my friends and family to boycott your stores.
I have been going to the new store in Davie two to three times a week since it opened; no more! I'll go out of my way to find a replacement store that does not push their beliefs on me or their employees.
Hobby Lobby, most of your customers are women. Well, you have sealed your fate with most of us. I have spent thousands of dollars at your stores. Never again. And I will encourage all my friends and family to avoid spending money with you.
Hobby Lobby was already paying for the offensive forms of birth control before Affordable Care Act and didn't have a problem with it and also they have invested lots and lots of money (of the person known as Hobby lobby) in these evil forms of birth control on their own without anyone forcing them to make money off of birth control they are suing over. It is a fact they invest money into company's that make these birth control and pocket that dirty money. Hypocrites!
The Bible commands employers to treat their employees fairly.
they are awful. there are so many petitions against their un-American stances. They don't really "love thy neighbor", either.

All this is true, but how about not offering birth control for women. This is sexist. I'm sure they allow men their Viagra.
