Hobby Lobby, the new Chick-Fil-A

[J P Sousa]

Since the brouhaha erupted with chick-fil-a, I've made a habit of grabbing lunch from there every pay day.  It looks like I may be buying a few things from Hobby Lobby, too.

I didn't go to chick-fil-a until the DUmmies put them on my radar, now I go at least once a week. I discovered they have a great carrot and raisin salad that I haven't seen since Parris Island.  

Thanks, DUmmies.

We LOVE Hobby Lobby, it's always our first stop when looking for any crafty thing or decorations.  We don't have a Chick Fil A close, but HL is just 3 blocks from my job.

I like Hobby Lobby.  In addition to the usual refurb/restoration items, they have some decent interior decoration things.

You douchebags are forcing your belief system down the throats of Hobby Lobby head bosses.  The employees are free to do as they desire with their own paychecks, but you want to force Hobby Lobby bosses to go against their beliefs and pay for birth control.  It is you forcing your beliefs, not anyone else.

Exactly right.  That is what the internal memo David Green sent out to all the stores says, in a nutshell.  You can have it, but you'll be buying it on your own, since it violates the company owner's freely practiced religious beliefs.  That's pretty cut and dry, for normal civilized people to understand.   

My spousal unit thanks you all for shopping at her employer, too.   

You guys that are going, don't forget to print off or show your cashier the 40% off coupon! http://www.hobbylobby.com/weekly/coupon.cfm?email=1

If you're into bar- or tiki-style decoration and domestic cars, the store here has plenty of stuff.  I have enough wall hangings and don't need another faux road sign.  It was the only place I went to that still had enamel paint in a jar though.
