Sound like Calandro's thinks things were way out of line, no?


Sounds like they don't want their place looted and burned to the ground.

Pussies. I'd have my entire family with shotguns and rifles standing on the roof of my store.

I don't think people with EBT would go there because the groceries still cost more there, even if you have EBT. They could get more for less elsewhere, and that is what would keep them from the store.

Wait a minute! SJW's are boycotting Calandro's? Just found my new go-to shopping spot. Will gladly drive across town to avoid those mouth breathers.

It's a classic tactic of that group.

Cause businesses to spend extra money to right whatever grievance out of fear that they'll lose these people's business, then not patron those businesses after they fixed their expensive problem.

For some reason, these businesses can't help but bend the knee then end up being bent over the barrel anyway.

I know Lani pretty well. She's a very nice person.

Yep, she won't initiate litigation.

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



Did the store admit to racism? If they did, sorry I missed it.

Exactly.

That crowd is looking for paper thin ribeyes, not 3 finger NY strips. There's an Albertson's right down the street that they prefer anyway.

Tbh, I don't see them caving to them. They have too many people with money in that store in their ears.

That Albertson's got a new manager recently. Place is actually a normal shopping experience now.

I'd be shocked if they did cave.

I wonder if this will be the next cause dejour for gravy and the gingerbread twins. Find all places that don't accept EBT and bash them on social media.

Did Lani ever make racist accusations? If she did, sorry I missed it.

Lani accused them of fricking up. They admitted they fricked up.

Not a hard story to follow, for most.

So now it's racist if you don't accept EBT cards?? The word racism means absolutely nothing nowadays.


It's racist of the liberals to assume that EBT card users are black.

Admitting any wrongdoing in front of race pimps is like bleeding in front of a shark.

Right. Which is why I don't understand the hoopla. Calandro's employee fricked up, Calandro's admitted such and apologized. Why are people still hung up on this?

I'd be willing to bet that they'd lose more business than they gained. I know a lot of people who shop at stores like Calandro's just to avoid the people of Walmart crowd

True. But I wouldn't put that on Lani.

She got treated like shite and put Calandros on blast.
