PJ's Coffee chain cans Chartres Street franchisee who tweeted vulgarity at LeBron James

The PJ's Coffee chain has removed a franchisee who responded in a vulgar manner to a social media post by NBA star LeBron James that said "Protect our young Black women and men." A company spokesperson said Wednesday afternoon that Stephen Bruno Jr., who owned and operated the Chartres Street location with his father, Stephen Bruno Sr., and his brother, Roy Bruno, has been removed from that position.
Underneath the post, which James tweeted yesterday, Bruno replied, "Eat a" followed by an eggplant emoji, which is generally accepted in internet slang as a substitute for a penis.
quote:Boycott PJ’s
The company responded with two tweets just after 1 p.m. saying: "PJ’s Coffee does not tolerate hatred or disrespect of any kind. The words used by Stephen Bruno Jr. were inappropriate and uncalled for. Our PJ’s Coffee brand and our locations take pride in supporting the diverse communities in which we serve. Stephen Bruno Jr. has been removed as a franchisee from the locally owned and operated franchise location ..." The Chartres Street location is still owned and operated by Bruno's father and brother, who own three other locations in the metro area. It then asked customers to view a page on its website articulating its stance on social justice issues.

Is LeBron allergic to eggplant or something?

I, too, want Lebron to eat and choke on a dick, but that wasn't the tweet to respond to that with if you're a business owner at the mercy of a franchise company.
Gotta be smarter than that.

It's real amazing how IQs of some people drop when they respond to LeBron.

It's called fighting fire with fire.

Yep. But LeBron can basically threaten a cop on social media with no repercussions. America!!!!

The tens of people that saw that I'm sure are in tears, but if you are a business owner, especially a franchisee, you have to be smarter than this.
