Good – fire their asses

BLM on our faces and in yours

But instead, I’m sure Whole Foods will cave.

Protesters boycott Whole Foods over BLM facemasks

Critics are calling on Whole Foods Market to change its policy banning workers from wearing Black Lives Matter masks while on the job, saying there should be “no place safe for racism” in corporate America.

More than 40 people protested Sunday outside the chain’s Cambridge, Mass., location, where seven employees walked off the job June 25 after being turned away when they showed up to work wearing BLM masks, the Boston Globe reported.

….

One of the employees who was turned away, Suverino Frith, 21, accused company officials of being “careful people” who don’t want to take a stand either way on the issue.

“They don’t want to alienate anyone,” Frith told the crowd. “They don’t really want to choose a side; they just want to seem like they are. Only that’s too bad, because we’re choosing a side for them.”

Reached for comment Monday, a Whole Foods spokesperson confirmed that employees are barred from wearing clothing with slogans or messages that are not company-related in order to operate a “customer-focused” environment.

“Team members with face masks that do not comply with dress code are always offered new face masks,” the spokesperson said in a statement to The Post. “Team members are unable to work until they comply with dress code.”

Starbucks, meanwhile, reversed its policy banning Black Lives Matter masks and apparel worn by employees after similar backlash.

Not that I shop at Whole Foods, but wherever I choose to spend my money, I don’t want to be confronted by some 21-year-old illiterate whose highest and best use is grocery bagging lecturing and accusing me of racism, which is indeed what the BLM mob is proclaiming: “I’m a racist, you’re a racist, and ain’t we got fun!” Young Master Frith may ridicule Whole Foods desire “not to alienate” its customers, but that just exposes his ignorance of how retail works: no customers, fella, then no one to pay your cashier’s salary.

Another 21-year-old, Ms. Samantha Kinzer, who sorts bananas for a living despite [sic] graduating with a degree in environmental studies and public policy, claims that her employer’s refusal to let her wear a political banner across her mouth is “silencing our support for black lives [and] is silencing the customers and communities we hold dear.”

That’s the whole point of a face mask, Samantha: to keep you muzzled while you’re interacting with your employer’s customers. I’m sure you’re a wonderful, kind-hearted young woman, much loved by your parents and all who know you, but leave your politics and home and go spray paint Lincoln on your own time.
