The TS in my town looks to have gone far and wide to find the freakiest looking folks to hire. Purple haired he/shes. The customer base are country folks who really don’t condone this BS. Go woke go broke. I go to the mom and pop folks for my feed needs. Plus they are about $2-3 cheaper on bags of feed.

Could be the country folk ain't applying and given what a place like this pays - it's likely people aren't driving 45 mins to work there. They're part of your community - hair and all.

I’ve pretty much gave them up for most things not because they are woke but because it’s mostly overpriced Chinese garbage.

TS working with a queer group isn't corporate window-dressing - those faqqots will scream to high heaven if they're being 'used'

When I moved here 20 years ago, there were two mom and pop feed and seed stores and one Tractor Supply. I stuck to the mom and pop stores. Then one closed down about ten years ago. Then the other one burned to the ground and never reopened, so I switched to Tractor Supply for my chicken supplies. Now what am I supposed to do? Order everything mail order? Same here. They are the only game in town. My source for dog food, of which I use a lot!

And yet 90% (a guess) of their products are made by chink slave labor..
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

The local TS, WM etc and even a privately owned local farm store are staffed with pink/green/purple haired weirdos: some of them wearing tags that say "What's your pronoun?"
I avoid them and go to another checker if possible. One of the guy-girl things was working the register and without thinking I said "Have a nice day ma'am."
It replied "I am a sir!"
I said "Sure thing lady" and walked off.

The only place I've ever seen the pronoun thing on the tags has been Harbor Freight.

Never trust a woke guy like Hal Lawton.He worked for two woke corporations,Ebay and Home Depot, before joining tractor Supply.
He was responsible for their program that pushed vaccinations on "rural people".
He wrote a column in The Tennessean which was titled "How Tractor Supply Company is helping vaccinate rural American against COVID-19".
He wrote another op-ed in The Tennessean titled "Why businesses should follow Tractor Supply’s push for diversity, inclusion, and climate change prevention".
More than a few businesses have been ruined by these type of woke,educated ass-holes.

F them. How about hiring on merit. Period, the end. Racist to do anything else.

there's a couple TSC in this area don't go in one much maybe there's a reason for that I never noticed. it does seem like it's more of a city farmer kind of store.

Every corporate mission statement or vision has to include that garbage now.

During Covid scamdemic, local TSC, required picture of horse for Ivermectin sale. Counted and limited number of patrons. All patrons had to wear mask and get (forehead temp gun) temperature checked before admittance. Never went in, will never return.
Got a new Rural King 40 minutes away......Much better store IMHO. Hope they don't fúck up.

I didn't need another reason to dislike tractor supply stores.
Something clever here.

This obviously ain’t about their customer base. I suspect it’s directed at investors, since the big funds are all over this schitt. 'cept Florida who just yanked $2Bn from Blackrock... I would add (a subset of highly vocal) employees to the driver of this farce.

TSC was the only game in town here for many years. 3 weeks ago a new, modern, full stocked Atwood’s Farm and Ranch store opened. Armory, ammo, feeds, implements, et al. And BOOM. Just like that TSC is on life support.
