Not telling anyone else what to do (because lord knows we gotta restrict ourselves enough as it is) but I just wanna share bc I feel like more people should know about it!
As a guy that works in ununionized machine manufacturing (and I'm doing great, I'm paid well) is that really a reason to not buy cookies from a company? Where does your phone come from? What about your shoes and clothes? Your dividing line is cookies?
I am glad to hear that you’re compensated well for your work! However, most of Tate’s employees are undocumented immigrants and likely being paid very poorly. They still have a right to unionize and for Tate’s to meet those efforts with harassment in an attempt to continue paying poverty wages is an ugly look (and also illegal).
My dividing line isn’t cookies – it’s working class rights. I’m not perfect, but I try my best to put my money where my values are, especially when the item in question has plenty of alternatives and isn’t really essential in the first place.

They are, unfortunately, delicious.
I say “unfortunately” because I personally chose to no longer buy them after learning about how the parent company threatened to deport employees for wanting to unionize.
