Precisely.

LOL. Best one today.

Relax, sit back, have a nice cuppa joe and enjoy a baseball game on tv...

Once upon a time, Whole Foods had specials that were accessible to all shoppers.

Now you have to be a member of Amazon Prime to get specials at Whole Foods, and you have to pay Bezos a fee to be a member of Amazon Prime.

That’s why I no longer shop at Whole Foods. If they’re also going to shove their politics in my face, I’ll stay even further away. PHOOEY!!

Given that it is Portland, they could just close the stores and walk away before the demonstrations turn violent and they get burned out.

There'll be organic food deserts! Organic food deserts everywhere! Oh the humanity!

None of this matters anymore, Portland has already lost their city and the state. If they do not get rid of the liberals in power by this November, Oregon will stay gone.

I was born and raised in Oregon....I loved that state when real patriots lived there, before the Californian invasion.

Imma thinking the button is not the reason Dylan was “fired” and there’s a whole lot more to the story. Perhaps even an attack on WF.

Everyone who was fired for wearing that (Whole Foods own) slogan has a HUGE (and justified) lawsuit/payoff coming:

No matter your view on capitalism -- no firm can justify firing employees for following company directives.

... and (he) was expected at Sunday's walkout, a spokesperson for Portland Jobs with Justice, a group supporting the walkout, ...

I think the precious little snowflake needed a few days to gather supplies and conspire with other anarchists.

The fake button story was nothing but a PR piece for the group.

[Flaming Conservative]

If it’s not per dress code, they can.

[Jeff Chandler]

Why don’t they just burn down the store?

Idiots.

“Firing a worker for wearing [Whole Foods’] own slogan...”

I’m guessing it isn’t an “official” work shirt. And the “slogan” is probably just part of a sentence from their company policy book.

I would have gone with the shirt that says “All employees must wash their hands after using the restroom.”

My daughter works part time for Whole Foods.

No Shirts or masks with any lettering or symbols. No buttons.
Don’t like it?
Find another job.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Sorry buddy....virtue-signal on your own time, not on company time. Life lesson.

Yes sir. I'll do that in the future.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Whole foods doesn’t allow open or concealed carry; needless to say, I don’t shop there anymore.

The last time I went in there, they didn't tell me to remove my concealed carry weapon and leave it in the car....

Jobs With Justice was an old Communist Party USA infiltrated, and often locality dominated group. They go back to at least the 80’s.

Check out their leadership and post their names here. We might find a few old comrades on it.

[KittyKares]

Um, no thank you.

[trebb]

Yep - (s)he’s probably been a troublemaker for a while and has “the racism chip” firmly on the shoulder...

[ProtectOurFreedom]

“Imma”?

Is that the sister of Aunt Jemima?

Speak English, man!
