yes this is me WATCHING YOU<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Today we are discussing three more businesses across vegan food and clothing\/commerce I will not support: Papa John\u2019s Pizza, Wayfair home goods, and Forever 21 cheap ass clothing. I\u2019ve also got some thoughts on the hottest trend in capitalism: cashless businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Papa John\u2019s Pizza <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been vegan for 11 years now, so those of you who are\nlikewise not baby vegans can appreciate how difficult it was when we were just\nstarting out all those years ago. Remember those vegan \u2018cheeses\u2019 that were\nprobably made of cardboard? Remember making your own almond milk (out of\nnecessity and not preference)? Remember getting a dry portabella mushroom on a\nbun with an enormous roasted red pepper whenever you deigned to go to a\nrestaurant? Suffice it to say, being vegan nowadays, especially in big cities\nlike London, is unbelievably easy\nand fun and exciting. What new incredible product will be released today? What\nrestaurant will announce a fantastic new vegan option today? What new vegan\nsoft-serve can I find? It never ends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However exciting all these developments are, not all of them\nare good. I don\u2019t mean tasting; I\u2019m sure they all taste good. But something\nbeing \u2018vegan\u2019 isn\u2019t enough to warrant our support. The company has to not be an\nasshole, at MINIMUM. I think that\u2019s a pretty good rule! It\u2019s hard to enforce\nconsistently, but that\u2019s what I\u2019m here to help with and I hope you\u2019ll help me\ntoo: figuring out which companies are decent and which are Papa John\u2019s. Oh,\ntoday\u2019s Vegan Food I Don\u2019t Support and You Can Decide on Your Own I\u2019m Not\nTelling You Not to Patronize Them I\u2019m Just Telling You What I Do is Papa John\u2019s\nand their newish vegan pizza options. Listen. I\u2019m sure it\u2019s delicious. Well no,\nit is<\/em> Papa John; I\u2019m sure it\u2019s\nedible. And I remember how sad it was to not find good vegan pizza for like,\nyears! I get it! Pizza is the best food on the planet and you shouldn\u2019t have to\nstop eating it as a vegan! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there\u2019s no reason to have to choose Papa John. First of\nall, in London?? We have incredible\nvegan pizza options all over the city, including Purezza (man alive!), Picky\nWops (what a name), even all the big chains like Voodoo Ray\u2019s and Pizza Union\nand Basilico have vegan options. There are dozens of veg-friendly pizza joints\nall over the city I haven\u2019t even been to yet! There\u2019s a tiny shop that just\nopened around the corner from me that has vegan cheese! It\u2019s EVERYWHERE. I have\nno reason to get Papa John\u2019s when there\u2019s all this actually good vegan pizza\nall over the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BUT, even if these other options didn\u2019t exist, I still\nwouldn\u2019t. Sure, that\u2019s because I make my own really excellent pizza (Imah half\neye-tal I gotta that spicy meataball in my bloodah), but also because this guy\nJohn? He ain\u2019t my papa. He sucks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Schnatter, former CEO and founder of Papa John\u2019s, is a\nlong-time republican which sure used to just mean white businessman but now\nmeans an active racist, sexist, homophobe, anti-Semite, anti-everything good\npretty much little fucker. Don\u2019t believe me? He donated to the Cheeto Mussolini\ncampaign. He spoke out against Obama and the Affordable Care Act, and famously\nstated that if he was forced to pay for the ACA and give his employees\nhealthcare, his pizza prices would go up a certain number of measly cents. (To\nwhich the sensible world responded, \u201cyou mean you could be giving your\nemployees g-d health insurance if you just charged 8c more???!!\u201d and rightly\nboycotted.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, he was loudly on the wrong side of history during the NFL protest controversy. And while he did resign as CEO after his use of the n-word on that matter came to light, this is still the business he founded, and a company is built on the ethos of its founder. I would guess that his viewpoints and beliefs are reflected at all levels of management within this company. No founder, or CEO, or racist, exists in a vaccum. Also, John still retains a stake in the company, obviously, since he founded it, and he is worth more than \u00be of a BILLION dollars. So, like, fuck that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wayfair Furniture<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving is the worst, decorating a new home can be\nfrustrating, and finding affordable but still stylish furniture is a nightmare.\nThat\u2019s why online home giant Wayfair has become such a successful brand. But\nfuck them. Wayfair may have sold that adorable side table and pineapple lamp to\nyour friend from work, but you know who else they sold furniture to? The\ndetention facilities at the U.S. Mexico border. Wayfair is in a partnership\nwith the monsters running these concentration camps, and for that reason, I\ncannot support them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you may have heard, Wayfair employees recently walked out\non the job to protest the company\u2019s sales of furniture to the border detention\ncamps. The employees involved first wrote a letter asking that the company\nrefrain from such sales. The CEO rejected this request, naturally, because the\nkind of person who aids concentration camps is not the kind of person who cares\nabout what some of his employees have to say. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might be thinking, well the migrant kids that the U.S. government doesn\u2019t care if they kill have to sleep somewhere!<\/em> And maybe, if the Wayfair corporate leadership had said that what\u2019s happening is atrocious but their aim was to provide beds to make this horrible experience a little easier for the children, then that would be something else. Or maybe they could have sold the furniture and donated all the profits to charity! (LIKE SO OBVIOUS.) At least maybe some of them could be said to have good intentions. But do you know what statement the leadership team made? They said that they \u201cbelieve in the importance of respecting diversity of thought within the organization and our customer base. No matter how strongly any one of us feels about an issue, it is important to keep in mind that not all employees or customers agree.\u201d So they basically said, just because some of you easily replaceable employees don\u2019t like that people are dying in concentration camps doesn\u2019t mean we all do<\/em>, so we have to respect the views of our fellow workers who LOVE the camps. I mean. And then of course they said as a retailer, their practice is to sell their goods to anyone operating within the laws of the USA. So you know, it doesn\u2019t matter what\u2019s right or wrong or just, it just matters that the people in charge of deciding what\u2019s legal or not have determined that this particular atrocity, as with many they\u2019ve created, is \u2018legal\u2019. Cool cool cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So obviously Wayfair is now on my list, as is anyone and everyone who supports the concentration camps. If you\u2019re thinking \u2018but maybe people shouldn\u2019t immigrate illegally!!\u2019 or \u2018if they didn\u2019t want their children taken from them and put in cages then they should have thought of that before\u2019 or \u2018but it\u2019s a corporation that needs to make money and if they didn\u2019t sell the beds someone else would have\u2019 then please leave a comment with your contact info so I may persuade you to get psychiatric help and\/or turn off Fox News. If you\u2019re thinking, \u2018darn, that sucks, but I can\u2019t support them anymore either if they are supporting these ICE facilities\u2019, then congratulations, you\u2019re a decent person and you\u2019ll be okay without their products. Also, as far as I know Ikea is still run by magical unicorn people who love us all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forever 21<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know, at this rate there will be no more fast-fashion brands who are destroying the earth with their cheap production methods and their overuse of resources left for us to shop at! Forever 21 was a last-minute entry to this post, as just a few days ago I learned about their sooooo-fun new trick of sending free Atkins diet bars inside online orders. At first, it appeared that only those who had ordered plus size clothes received the diet bars \u2013 which is so unbelievably evil and straight-up rude that it\u2019s entirely believable for this bleak ass world right now. Fortunately (?), the bars were included in online orders across the board, not just in plus-size orders, so they weren\u2019t being totally snide mean girls all like \u2018you should rully try one of these barssss also thanks for giving us your moneyyyyy!\u2019 I mean I\u2019m sure they still were, but at least to everyone. (Do they just want all<\/em> their customers to lose weight?) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But even if it wasn\u2019t targeted harassment at plus-size customers (I feel it necessary to reiterate they were treating paying customers<\/em> like this, for fork’s sake), it\u2019s still absolute bullshirt to include diet bars that no one asked for inside otherwise unrelated and innocuous purchases. I’m sure they don’t care if a customer had an allergy to any of the ingredients. But I know for sure they don’t care if they are sending diet products<\/em> to people with disordered eating histories or body insecurity – and given, um, statistics and facts, many of the women who received this ‘gift’ fall into those categories. Here, wear our clothes and also lose weight! What a great idea! It’s not just ill-considered and rude; it’s disrespectful. It assumes, as most of the world does, that weight loss is a universal goal, and an always-positive one. Obviously, the lads over at corporate didn’t think this through, or if they did, they really don’t care about women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also WHO is still partnering with forking Atkins<\/em>? Is it 2003 again? Go fork yourself. Also your clothes are crap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cashless Businesses<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A friend of mine recently said that he was on a mission to no longer support cashless businesses. Since London seems to be going all cashless lately and I am very aware of le crime<\/em>, I was like but why? Isn\u2019t it easier and safer and faster and just funner? (I didn\u2019t say that.) Going cashless may help businesses thwart off potential robbers, I guess, but a) that\u2019s not actually an enormous problem to begin with and b) the real result is turning away a significant portion of the community. Cashless businesses disenfranchise part of our population that is already incredibly vulnerable: homeless people, migrants, poor people in general who are unbanked. Not everyone has a bank account! Not everyone has access to a contactless card that makes you feel like you aren\u2019t even spending any money because you just have to lightly tap it against the payment screen and then you\u2019re done and it\u2019s like whaaat was this all free? IT WASN\u2019T. YOU\u2019RE PRIVILEGED. As so many of our cities gentrify at alarming rates, these businesses are basically defining the clientele they want, and it doesn\u2019t include everyone. And that\u2019s bullshirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that I know it\u2019s bullshirt, I\u2019ve been doing my best to\navoid patronizing businesses that don\u2019t accept cash. It\u2019s a tiny little action,\nand it probably doesn\u2019t do anything, but aren\u2019t most of these little protests\njust acts of solidarity anyway? With London\nbeing on the fast track to complete cashlessness, it\u2019s been difficult. Just\nlast week, Husbo and I had lunch in Canary Wharf, as we frequently do because\nof work, and when we went to pay, I noticed it was card only. SHIIIIIT, I said\nto Husbo. It\u2019s cashless! I\u2019m supposed to be boycotting these places! But then\nHusbo pointed out that we were literally in Canary\n Wharf \u2013 an entire little city built\nby banks, for banks. Of course this was a cashless place; the entire place \u2013\nfilled with endless underground malls \u2013 exists for bankers<\/em>. Trying to support the unbanked sector of the community\nin Canary Wharf\nis literally nonsense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that kind of brings me to the point of all of this: you have to do what makes sense, for you and for the message you\u2019re trying to send. This extends to veganism in general too: Sure we\u2019d all love everyone to be vegan, but not everyone is able to, so let\u2019s all do the best we can, and act within reason. That\u2019s kind of the purpose of this series, after all. <\/p>\n\n\n
