Readers Respond: Flap over the flag

When Walmart, Sears, and Amzaon all announced plans to cease and desist the sale of confederate-flat-related merchandise, HBSDealer took a quick pulse of the hardware and building supply industry.

We asked “What is your store’s policy?” Here’s the results:

• 62%: “Don’t have it. Don’t want it.” 

• 38%: “Our customers want it. It’s part of history. It’s in.”

At press time, 77 readers participated in the poll, which is still open. Cast your vote here.
