In one Facebook post, the bakery's co-owner wrote, "We are doing business in a gentrified neighborhood in a racist city within a racist state of a racist country.”

The horror. They should end it all.

After closing? She could’ve have been waiting to rob the place while they were counting the cash drawer.

“the employees were fired because the woman and the “clamoring public” demanded they be fired.”

Tell me again all about that WHITE PRIVILEGE.

Why not? I’ve been told to get lost plenty of times when I arrive at an establishment after hours.

In one statement, the bakery admitted that the employees did not necessarily do anything wrong, “this is more about how a black woman was made to feel” at the business.

And there’s your lawsuit for wrongful termination.

The bakery is vegan, pfeh.

If I happened to live in Portland and had nothing better to do, I could think of a number of ways to have fun demonstrate the bakery's commitment to progress.

Looks like they were fired from a shitty job with a shitty company run by shitty virtue signalling owners.

The bakery needs a sign that says:

Closed Means Closed, *****.

>>>The bakery’s statement says that even though it does not consider the employees to be racist and that they were following the business’s protocol of closing at 9 p.m., they were fired because “sometimes impact outweighs intent.”<<<

Is that reason listed in the Employee Manual?

I didn’t think so, since they obviously don’t have an Employee Manual.

Lawyers must be salivating...

“Lawyers must be salivating...”

It depends. In a liberal city, a jury might be filed with people who think like the owners.

If Lillian gets the munchies around 2am, just call the non racist owners and tell them to meet you at the shop so you can buy a donut.
