HEB may have found their equivalent of the Whataburger table tent, only they do not own it.

H-E-B partners on Twitter are losing it over this 'Here Everything Bussin' T-shirt
H-E-B is a culture, but especially so for Texans who work for the grocery chain. So imagine their excitement when they saw a photo of a bagger wearing a "Here Everything Bussin" T-shirt.

Earlier this week, Twitter user @israeldrown shared a photo of a young man bagging groceries and wearing the "H-E-Banz" design, and included the caption, "bro really pulled up to work wearing this shirt."

This quickly prompted H-E-B employees on the site to want to get their hands on the shirt, which also features H-E-Buddy with a grill, chain and oversized shirt, for themselves and maybe make a few jokes as well.

For folks who may not be familiar or assumed it had to do with the booty-shaking "buss it" TikTok challenge from earlier this year (ahem, myself included), Urban Dictionary defines "bussin" as "what you would say if something was really good." That seems pretty accurate given that most Texans would fight to death if someone dared to speak ill about H-E-B.
So all those virtue signaling tee cherts from February Black History Month are not as good as this negative stereotype tee chert?

Bad.
You always want to control your story.
All that virtue signaling is forgotten by a bad stereotype dance contest tee chert.
Looks like "Being the change" was not that important.

I'm too old to understand any of this. And I'm 38. Or maybe I'm just too white.

I guess it could be considered gangsta and using the brand in a negative way not approved by the company?

You never want any of your company's image items to be hijacked.
You always need control over them.
The HEB Buddy character turned into a black stereotype on a tee chert is not the image HEB will want to be associated with.


Last month they were so woke with their black history month tee cherts.
This month their staff want a stereotype.
So much for Be The Change.....

This has to do with the coming ESG rating system by big banks and tech. Mostly ALL banks have already signed on to the ESG system.

ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. Investors are increasingly applying these non-financial factors as part of their analysis process to identify material risks and growth opportunities.

Think about it like a credit rating system where low score is bad. You're about to see a lot more of this crap EVERYWHERE.

ESG is a "private" version of China's social rating system whereby your political and social compliance is measured like a credit rating, and you are rewarded or oppressed like a lab rat accordingly.

I believe HEB employees are showing up in shirts that say everyone at HEB takes the bus. Clearly in support of the bus driver unions!

Thanks to Google I found out what bussin is.

It's a viral tiktok phrase from some rap song.

Rapper is a little blonde female, the raping and music video looks like it's straight out of the early 2000s. Who knew in 2021 little blonde girls would be in the rap game.

I'm familiar with ESG, I just don't see how somebody photoshopping a perverse version of buddy has anything to do with ESG. I am missing the link between photoshopped photo and ESG.
