Boycott Bed Bath and Beyond and Clean House in Senate and Congress of Pennsylvania update

Update December 1, 2014 After I sent a letter to Mr Eisenberg and Mr Feinstein the manager of my local store stepped in. In the store they had over priced Menorahs forcing Jews who needed a Menorah to pay ridiculous prices where the Xmas Shoppers had an array of prices on all items. The manager went out of his way to fix a wrong that Customer service made. Thank you Russ for stepping in and correcting a wrong and making it right..
And for those who called me all sorts of names on here because I am Jewish I wish you nothing but coal in your stockings.


November 29, 2014
With all the Jewish money used to buy kitchen, bath and and bedding I beleive all Jews need to be aware that this company has not supported or given on dime to Israel. I encourage all Jews to stop using and buying from  Bed Bath and Beyond  They hire anti Semistes and when you ask why a simple Menorah is not in their store this is their customer service response.

Andrew M.: I'm not sure. The stores just chose not to carry it.
Andrew M.: I doubt it is restricted by the area. The stores can sell whatever they like.
loretta miller: do they think Jews dont live in Harrisburg?
Andrew M.: I'm not why they don't carry it. I would call them an ask.
loretta miller: So these stores are privately owned
Andrew M.: Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
loretta miller: I asked you if these stores are privately owned
Andrew M.: The purpose of LiveChat is to help people with technical/ordering issues.

loretta miller: No it says ask a question so I am asking
loretta miller: this one  I signed up 3 times
Andrew M.: I'll make sure leahlax1234@aol.com is signed up for coupons.
loretta miller: Now since I know you discriminate against Jews why would I want to buy in your store
Andrew M.: If we discriminated toward Jews wouldn't it be better to not carry the item at all rather than not in a certain area?
Andrew M.: Thank you for choosing Bed Bath & Beyond LiveChat.
Andrew M. has disconnected.


This is the Menorah link in question link http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/black-electric-menorah/1016752975?Keyword=menorah

Plus this is a religious item and they charge TAX! The State of Pa because they need the money has now taxed certain religious items  Menorahs are not listed.  Time to clean house and remove this tax on religion. Thank you Governor Corbet glad you no longer will be in office
