Hobby Lobby — Local services in San Luis Obispo

The store is immaculate, well stocked, and full of wonderful items. I have ambulation problems, but I am not confined to a wheelchair. I asked for the availability of a battery operated scooter or an electric scooter and they said, no they didn't have one. They offered a wheelchair. (A wheelchair without a "pusher" is useless). They suggested contacting corporate, which I will. I asked for a place to sit down as I have an injured toe and had to take my shoes off, wanted to put some socks on. Was directed to sit in a plastic chair in the children's section of the display in the lobby. I'm not exactly lightweight so I was a little hesitant but it did work out. Then I started strolling around the store and found that there are quite a few places I could sit down: The fabric area, The art area had chairs. I would gladly have sat in an adult chair if I had been directed there. I'm going to contact corporation about having more accessibility options. All staff I spoke to were kind and polite, but none seemed very interested in seeing how they could help me with my issues.... Many staff saw me walking around in my stocking feet. If I worked there I would have directed the customer to the "on sale" beach shoe and sandal area they had. Eventually I bought a pair of on sale slippers and asked the check out gal to please cut them and untag them for me, which she kindly did. As I say, no one was unkind, but they were all kind of clueless about how to help a mildly disabled customer who was...

I'm sure the staff who work here are wonderful, but the owners of Hobby Lobby/ the Hobby Lobby corporation have done the following things: won a case at the US Supreme Court to limit access to birth control on their employee health insurance plan (see Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.) purchased looted historical artifacts, knowing of their illegal provenance (see United States of America v. Approximately Four Hundred Fifty Ancient Cuneiform Tablets and Approximately Three Thousand Ancient Clay Bullae) suspended PTO and health care benefits to employees during the 2020 COVID-19 shutdowns refused bathroom access to trans employees until forced by law to provide it

So ask yourself... does Hobby Lobby deserve to make a profit off your crafting? Is the art you are creating worth a betrayal of your moral values? Are human dignity and bodily autonomy of less value than cute holiday...

Hobby Lobby should be absolutely ashamed of itself. Thinki it can move in to a new community and NOT respect a tradition. Dictating that the local farmers market to be removed from the shopping centers parking lot. With no regard to the locals who provide locally grown food . For the community and the farmers livelihood.

As far as I'm concerned, thats not very Christian like. As you claim to be HOBBY LOBBY. Shame on you. And the fact that you do this to most communities you come to.

I ask all to not shop at...
