Anybody else know who owns Mellow Johnny's?

That's right, it's the social justice warrior, disgraced Tour de France winner and former 'godfather' of an international crime syndicate, Lance Pharmstrong.

I don’t care that he took EPO and steroids.
All of the top guys were.
Our juice monkey won 7 times.

If they really wanted to stick it to the police, they should have kept selling them bikes but only sell them bikes with Presta Valves.

But seriously, give up a lucrative government contract because of 3 low level employees, are they nutz. Bike shop’s margin’s a thin enough with the competition from Walmart, Target, Dick’s etc. They will feel it burn.

“Staffers upset bikes being used for crowd control at BLM protests.”

The bike waaaambulance is on its way to comfort those poor. distressed employees.

Paal Gulli :" Staffers upset bikes being used for crowd control at BLM protests. "

These Bikes are now going to be sold to BLM,
so that protesters can now go to protest sites quicker than the cops, and silently !
Metal bikes don't burn,.. and rubber tires can be replaced.
Also, a bike rider can load his/her own weight in IEDs, and pyrotechnics.

Thar was bright. Employees should have been fired.

Get woked....go broke.

And really, you are too stupid to be in business.

You canceled a major and long term contract over three employee “objections.”

Your are probably going to lose at least 50% of your remaining contracts in the next 12 months.

“...Carlisle asserts that the store caved in to the woke employees by canceling the contact with Austin police that had four years left to run, “because three employees do not like police officers and did not like us in the store.”

[Sans-Culotte]

I do not understand how a business acedes to the complaints of three employees over a paying customer. Anyone who has ever worked retail knows that sometime you have to deal with customers you'd rather not deal with. But the company will always side with the customer, so you have to do what you have to do. Apparently that's not the way they do it in woke Austin.

Austin just keepin' it weird...

[KC_Lion]

Ping!

[Terry L Smith]

Fire the employees!!

[GnuThere]

Bike shops probably have some tendency to attract SJW fruit loops for employees, like coffee shops and bookstores. Maybe they can find an accommodating bike shop in the suburbs that actually wants dependable contracts.

[jimfree]

50 Treks a year is a non-trivial contract. Somebody is going to appreciate that windfall.

...Carlisle asserts that the store caved in to the woke employees by canceling the contact with Austin police that had four years left to run, “because three employees do not like police officers and did not like us in the store.”

So fire the employees who do not like to do their job. Or tell them that if they don't want to do their job to find another one.

No way should a business cave to the petty, immature demands of childish employees.

I hope the PD sues them into oblivion for breach of contract.

[Seruzawa]

Several other bike shops are lining up to apply for the contract as we type. Good riddance A-hole.

[TLI]

they have three employees who work for them that are complaining about providing bikes to the police department

And right there is where the layoffs need to start.

"Sorry, that contract brought in a lot of revenue."

Woke former employees meet reality face to face...

Mellow Johnny, the Wonder Weenie.

[Jane Long]

Mellow Yellow Bikes.

As in yellow journalism readers.

No thanks!

[lowbridge]

Bump

[the OlLine Rebel]

Another reason not to bother with bicycle police.

[Midwesterner53]

Sue them out of business for breach of contract.

[Lizavetta]

I am continually amazed that everybody in America, apparently, has lost the ability to tell some wokehole, Who the F are you to tell me what to DO, especially with MY OWN COMPANY?

What happened to the American spirit of I'll do as I please, independence, free will, individualism, and flat out orneriness?
