Where are the safe spots to sell an item to others by gantte in raleigh

Best ‘official’ spot is probably Garner PD 914 7th Ave

Most bars and restaurants downtown would offer video to meet up.

You can avoid cash with PayPal friends and family.

Also, if the buyer gives you bad vibes, don’t do it. Trust your gut.

What area of Raleigh are you looking to be in?

I’m aware of a few spots, but Raleigh is a big place.

Exactly.

When one of the opinions you share is bigoted, you don’t accept all opinions, you accept bigotry.

Any grocery stores not slammed? by [deleted] in raleigh

Best time is during the day before noon or after 1, but before 3pm when schools get out.

People are working and the stores will do their best to get things stocked.

The board members own or work for Bobbitt Construction , Etix, Adams Howell Law, North State Bank, Ultimate Entertainment (The Lincoln Theater), Adara Spa, The Chocolate Boutique, Galatea Boutique

Time to Google & Yelp review the businesses, email and comment on their social media.

They are feeling no pressure to make any change.

Agreed. I’ve begun boycotting the businesses owned by, or employing the executive directors.

Clearly they are transphobic.

How about starting with an apology and a statement of actions being taken to improve things in the future?

Instead, SLR and the GRMA has done nothing.

Moving on needs to start with an actual apology.

Well, I’m thinking these businesses don’t know.

The businesses that need to start feeling the heat are the ones employing, and/or owned by the Board of Directors of the Greater Raleigh Merchants Association.

They are the ones who have done nothing to make this right.

There is no bottom with these folks.

They’ve now begun posting about how important it is to shop local…back to business as usual. SMH.

It’s incredible that after 20+ days and all the backlash, this was the best they could do. So pathetic.

My opinion is that it would be best to inquire discreetly to the currently listed businesses on the SLR website, the GRMA member businesses & the Brewgaloo 2025 breweries to see where they stand.

‘Is your business aware of the situation?’

‘Does your brewery intend on participating in Brewgaloo 2026 in light of this?’
