According to THE BIBLE Jesus was a Jew. Jews are the CHOSEN people. So...this dude and this company are due for some lighting strikes.

i second that wish/prayer for lightning strikes!

Ugh, Hobby Lobby. You just keep on strengthening my resolve to never shop at your stores ever, ever again.

This. I will never set foot in a Hobby Lobby again. And since I do most of my craft shopping on Sundays and they're closed on Sundays, it's even easier!

i have never been a fan of hobby lobby, but last christmas season, my friend in canada sent me money to get her dad this specific brand of candles that she couldn't find anywhere up there, so i reluctantly went there.

the woman who rang me up was nice enough, but then when she handed me my bags, she was like, "merry christmas! merry christmas! i LOVE that i work at a place where i'm actually able to say that! isn't that wonderful?" -.- it pretty much told me everything i need to know about their business practices, tbh

Same. Never again.

These morons again. How repugnant.

We have a large local craft store that observes and closes every Jewish holiday

Many years ago, I had to educate my Texas born mother as to why it is never acceptable to refer to anyone as 'you people'. (She honestly had no idea, and now she won't say it.) That phrase just screams "Yes I am a bigot, why do you ask?"

HobbySnobby and others like them need to learn that freedom of religion is not freedom to be prejudiced.

Agreed. It seems like any sentence with "you people" in it is going to end badly.

"Soylent Green is you people!"

You're right.

Yep.

I haven't given them a dime for more than a decade. My blood pressure goes up every time I drive by the damn store because the parking lot is always full. Except, you know, on Sundays.
