| Walmart apologizes for refusing to make police officer’s cake | |||
| 2016-09-27 | |||
The police officer’s daughter, who has remained anonymous, told radio host Todd Starnes that she went to a Walmart in McDonough, Georgia on Thursday to ask for a cake with the American flag in black and white with a blue stripe added in. But one of the employees at the bakery balked at the common police officer emblem, telling the woman "the design could be perceived as racist and nobody feels comfortable decorating the cake," she recounted to Starnes. When she asked for a simpler cake, with just one blue line on a chocolate background, the employee said she didn’t "feel comfortable" with that design either. "I asked her, ’Is there something wrong with cops?’" the woman recalled, according to Starnes. The employee again refused to make the cake. Taylor Wilkes, a Georgia police officer and family friend, originally posted about the cake incident on Facebook early Friday morning, criticizing the store for their "appalling" behavior. "There is nothing racist about the symbolism behind the "thin blue line," yet people CHOOSE to make EVERYTHING about race," Wilkes wrote. "I'm so tired of it."

| #6 That cake is personal property of those whom paid for it. Tell the fascist commies you will file suit because your desserts are not public unless you make it so. And who the F cares? You hate cops? GOD knows you need them , wallmart. You had do better than this. For your stores are where many Police Officers spend most of their day hauling people out of that place with their paws flying. You had better straighten up, people. But for the LEO, May I suggest Golden Corral a better place to protect? Or better food maybe? |

| #3 But one of the employees at the bakery balked at the common police officer emblem, telling the woman "the design could be perceived as racist and nobody feels comfortable decorating the cake," she recounted to Starnes. At that point she should have just stopped, asked for the server's name, and left. Complaining to the Store Manager, and asking for a complaint form for Corporate, on the way out of the store is optional. Would you trust them not to spit on any cake they made? |

| #1 Walmart is apologizing for refusing to make a police officer’s retirement cake last week after an employee told the cop’s daughter that her "thin blue line" cake design might be considered racist. Seems like PC has replaced common sense for liberals. It certainly keeps them from having to think, and it sure makes them feel good when they get to single-handedly save the planet from whatever imagined threat they perceive. "Oopsies, sorry about ruining your retirement party. Maybe next time." |
