In years past I visited Hobby Lobby at least twice a month and would usually end up buying quite a bit more than I meant to. Loved that store. This past year, however, I’ve been in there maybe a handful of times and have left twice with nothing. Their outrageous prices and quality have always been a sore point but with that lovely 40% off coupon and weekly “sales”I could get around that. Without that incentive and the increasing availability of so many things online it has made HL’s greediness more obvious and their store less attractive as a shopping option. Additionally, their ultra conservative stance and decision to no longer sell Halloween related items just further reveals their total ignorance and biases. Anyone with even a little common sense can research the history of the holiday to see that it’s based on many different cultural celebrations of harvest and honoring those who have passed. If they are worried about promoting holidays with pagan roots then they should discontinue Christmas and Easter decor as well. But no, that would cut into their profits too much, wouldn’t it? So, good bye Hobby Lobby! There are many options out there to get what we need that are higher quality, less expensive and not owned by those who are ignorantly self righteous.
