A Whole Foods worker walkout took place at a Portland store on Sunday afternoon after an employee said he had to resign for refusing to take off a button that said "racism has no place here."
Dylan Woodruff, 23, said he was told on July 27 not to come back to work because of the button, Street Roots reported. Woodruff worked at Whole Foods' Laurelhurst store east of downtown Portland and was expected at Sunday's walkout, a spokesperson for Portland Jobs with Justice, a group supporting the walkout, told FOX Business.
"Firing a worker for wearing [Whole Foods'] own slogan is just another indignity on top of the unfair conditions private sector retail workers have been speaking out about for months," a spokesperson for Portland Jobs with Justice told FOX Business.

A piece of Flair too far.
One of the reasons I never have WF on my list of grocery emporiums to stop by is that the workers seem to be from a different Planet.
Given that it is Portland, they could just close the stores and walk away before the demonstrations turn violent and they get burned out.
OREGON PING

Leftists are eating their own. Yum Yum.
Sorry buddy....virtue-signal on your own time, not on company time. Life lesson.
WF told him he couldn’t wear that? Hippie liberal Whole Foods? Hmm ... this looks like a candidate for the $h!t That Never Happened file.

Well, when you want to know the truth, I guess you go to the horse's mouth..
In this case, maybe they got the wrong end of the horse... :(
Yes it does, the place is in aisle 13 between Aunt Jemima flour and Uncle Ben's Converted Rice. Oh, wait, now it's between Workers' Paradise Third World Flour and Long Live President Xi Glorious Revolution Re-educated Peasant Rice. In the Fair Trade section by the non-GMO display. Can't miss it. The old product titles were catchier, if you ask me.
And the guy in Office Space did fall in love with the woman without enough flair on her work outfit. Love conquers all.
In normal times, I’d defend Bezos, but since he’s throwing conservatives overboard for his own power, the mob can have him.
I expect to shop in peace without political slogans shoved in my face.
Of course, that doesn't include the brain dead white women and soy boys who lack critical thinking skills as they have been hopelessly indoctrinated to the point of no return.

I guess they keep moving it. Last time I saw it, it was over by the Black Pride cotton balls and the padlocked Soul Glow hair relaxer.
One flare over the line!
Whole foods doesn’t allow open or concealed carry; needless to say, I don’t shop there anymore.
I was going to ask for those but I thought that annoying kid would jump out at me and say “That’s raciss.”
Well if they’d allowed the button he wouldn’t have even had to speak through his My Little Pony mask.
BLM is the most racist public statement since the KKK
