When you go shopping, do you put things in your pocket before you go to the register?


You're comparing putting groceries in a grocery bag to putting an item in your pocket.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Actually it says this
quote:

, Gholston says she was accused of “putting two pieces of meat in her purse” after bringing a Trader Joe’s shopping bag into the store, which she says she has done countless times before.

It also says she has used the trader Joe bag to put groceries in before paying on several of her visits in the past.

It also says this

quote:

“He said I could dump everything or else, or get beat by police


And all the other bullshite that apparently happened. This is a nonstory



Let's say the worker said that
Calandros fires them and apologizes.

Is that not enough?

Typically most of the "I won't shop there crowd" either never did or they will still shop there.

Opie is misleading . The person who was accused of shoplifting did not claim racism.

Either way, y'all really think she's going to risk her bar license to steal a couple pieces of meat from Calandros?


Nope, but she would take a risk like this to gin up bogus racist accusations. It seemed to have worked as planned.

A) You're basing that one what?

B) Bogus racist accusations, yet the store admitted they fricked up. Interesting.

I'm good at reading these stories and realizing that most of them are bullshite.

We had a story like this last year in BR where a local restaurant served the woman a shrimp salad and she went all racial. It was 100% false.

Sammys story with the judge. False.

Noose girl. False.

N****r doll on door. False.

That's exactly how I feel. This isn't some big racist conspiracy. It was one shitty employee who was obviously way too big for his britches. I'd have apologized to the lady for the embarassment and worked on better hiring practices.

I understand wanting to make your mark on this community but these "activists" are pathetic. I do mean the usual suspects.

It would be stupid to think EBT will bring them anymore customers. These people that are trashing the store likely weren't customers anyway and the worthless people on EBT aren't going to go there because it's been deemed wassiss.

It would be a net loss. Meghan, gravy, and company never went there. They won't go there after.

I, an existing customer, won't be going back.
