[@april1947]

one thing about hobby lobby that is also extremely suss to me is the lack of barcodes. I think at one point they claimed it was some "mark of the beast" type fear (which was honestly a big fundie fear when they first came out) but I (allegedly in my opinion) just think it makes money laundering easier because everything is just rung up as a category with a price

[@alexia3552]

Fascinating. And even if it’s just the paranoia it’s still hilarious and pathetically sad

[@christinescott5002]

Because handbaskets need barcodes on their nonexistent hands and forehead to go to hell.

[@amandamandamands]

They must have great inventory systems too. Cause that means that they have no way of tracking how much of a specific item they expect to have in stock so also can't know if it is experiencing shrinkage.

[@JaimeLeighArt]

Even if you told me Michael’s was run by Satan himself, I would still shop there over Hobby Lobby. As a professional artist, I have been so disappointed as they shrink their actual professional art supplies down to about two aisles while pushing their mass produced decor items into the whole rest of the store. Also, they took other art brands out of the store in favor of their house brands.

[@rebeccaabram2312]

A deep dive on TLC is needed.

[@TheMiikka34]

Sadly, it isn't that deep, mostly just greed. The Learning Channel was bought by Discovery. At the time, they played similar shows. The Learning Channel started showing more reality type educational shows and crafting/hobby/DIY instruction shows. Over time the more educational shows made less and less money until they just stopped making them. I watched it from the early 90s until sometime in the early 2000s. Discovery, on the other hand (to my knowledge anyway), is still mostly educational.

[@Chewy_and_rascal]

Never feel like you have to justify speaking about women’s rights and social injustice.😊

[@alexia3552]

I’m really proud of you for talking about women’s reproductive rights. Thank you so much. I found it very interesting to learn that before a certain number of months, the neural activity seen in the fetus is only chaotic and disorganized, a similar kind of chaotic signaling that is seen in people who are declared medically brain-dead and thus no longer living and who are disconnected from respirators and life support machines. Because you can keep a body’s lungs pumping but it doesn’t mean anyone is home, it doesn’t mean there is a live, functioning brain there that can sustain independent life. A heart pumping is an electrical signal, it does not indicate sentience or consciousness. Fetuses show a heartbeat relatively early on, but look at its neural activity. When you are making secular laws and regulations to govern a populace that has religious freedom, aka the freedom to be or NOT be Christian, then you must found the laws made on physical evidence. There is no physical evidence that a sentient, conscious nervous system exists before X number of weeks. Add to that that it is considered medically unethical to demand that one individual donate their body or body parts to sustain the life of another human. It’s not ethical to snatch someone off the street and demand they donate their kidney function to someone suffering in the hospital. It’s not even considered ethical to utilize the body parts of dead people for organ donation unless that person opted in to be an organ donor when they were still living. They’re dead now. They’re incapable of having emotions about where their corneas go. Yet we respect the bodily autonomy of dead people more than we do that of living women. That’s not okay. And regarding late-term abortion - it’s triage. Someone is going to severely suffer or die, and it makes ZERO sense to leave an orphan with no one to nurture it as opposed to a fully grown human. That would be demanding suffering occur. Babies need nurturing, they suffer when they don’t have their mothers. So many late-term abortions are desperately wanted pregnancies. There are cases where the baby was born, died two hours later, and the mother WHO ALREADY HAD KIDS passed away on the table and now those kids have to live the rest of their lives without their mother. As long as it’s legally mandatory for a woman to be forced to donate the use of her organs, all of us should have the right to point to any arbitrary human, including billionaires and senators and presidents, and demand the use of THEIR organs. Because it’s the exact same thing. Oh, they don’t consent? Boohoo. Or do you want roe v wade back now?

[@cheshiressecret]

Haven't watched the video yet, but wanted to comment as a former employee. Back when I worked for them in the frame shop it was a nightmare. A nightmare so many were willing to try and put up with because they were one of the few places who paid $15/hr which was big at the time in my area. Claiming to be "family oriented" is also a big reason why so many people think it would be nice to work there. I loved my job in the frame shop as far as getting to help people find something pretty for the stuff they wanted framed. Hated what they would try and make us do to drain every last cent out of a person. I can't say it was like this at all locations, but at least at my story if a customer so much as mentioned the stolen artifacts and we were close enough by them, the store manager would threaten to terminate us. I lasted a little over a year before I told them where they could stick it. I still do custom framing jobs on the side and feel happy any time I find out I've taken business from that place. Will it do anything to their pocket book? No...but at least I know it is one less person getting screwed over.

I opened a Hobby Lobby about seven years ago. I worked in the needle art/fabric department for about a year and loved it! My coworkers and managers were great. I didn't love all of the religious paraphernalia in home decor and it took me a long time to figure out why there was on an emphasis on that. I also didn't know about the stealing until the end of my tenure. The hiring team didn't bring up religion other than comparing HL to Chik-Fil-A when they explained why we were closed on Sunday. Ever since I've left I've heard more and more stories about how cult-like the company is, so I'm jazzed that you're covering this.

When she asked the district manager why they passed her over she was told that, well he has a family to support so he needed the pay increase. My aunt also has a family and at the time had 2 kids under 10. She quit. I will always have beef with Hobby Lobby for this and all their right wing Christian theocratic bullshit.
