Carrefour recently announced that it will not open branches of the chain in communities of Judea and Samaria, communities over the "green line". This has led to many calling to boycott Carrefour.
The administration of the BIG malls announced that if the government will pass the law regarding the Reasonability Clause tomorrow as expected, the BIG chain will strike for the day joining the protests against the judicial coup. This has led to many calling to boycott BIG.
So I am wondering.... if we boycott BIG, in Bet Shemesh, are we automatically boycotting Carrefour too? If we boycott Carrefour are we automatically boycotting BIG? Are we able to somehow boycott one and not the other? Can we boycott one and get two for the same price? A bird in the bush and all that...

Carrefour is no different than McDonalds
ReplyDeleteIf a corporation can decide that they will strike if they don't like some government action, then big corporations will be running the country. The electric co. the oil companies. manufacturers etc. can shut down for various reasons.
ReplyDeleteThere are no branches of Osher Ad in Yehuda and Shomron, either.
ReplyDeleteis that a policy issue for them or just something practical? Osher Ad is not a large chain. I think they have 8 or 9 stores around the country, not the tens of stores the other chains have, including Carrefour
DeleteAccording to their website Osher Ad is up to 19 stores. I know they are currently building another store in Kiryat Yam to take pressure off their store in Kiryat Bialik. Those stores combined with the one in Haifa brings up the count to 3 near me.
DeleteIronically I had never heard of Carrefour until the scandal broke. Apparently there are 2 stores in Haifa, which are the only ones anywhere remotely close to me.
19??? wow. I wasnt aware they had expanded so much. Carrefour is brand new, just opened the chain officially a month or two ago, after months of prep and some media noise
