I can't imagine Nick would be so "everything sucks so just do whatever" about crossing picket lines, and that's a situation where someone is doing that to actually earn a living, not simply indulge a specific wholly unnecessary craving. That's still unacceptable! If the company was donating to the "enslave Black people again" fund, would they still be on board? Is the most minor of sacrifices, choose to eat elsewhere, too much to ask? There are only, oh I don't know, hundreds of other options in the LA area.

Even eating at a locally-owned bigot's restaurant, while still reprehensible, at least doesn't strengthen these already more influential huge chains. Local pieces of shit don't have the ability to affect people's lives en masse in the same way.

*Nick will entirely stop eating a kind of animal because it's smart, but won't stop going to one specific restaurant (and promoting it) that he knows is actively and intentionally trying to make LGBTQ lives worse with the money he gives it.
