no, “she” does not. The owner of the business does. Call me dubious that the owner has allowed his minimum wage cashiers that kind of discretion

Apparently it's owned by this guy:

quote:

[From 2021] Today, Klebba, 28, is the owner of 14 Smoothie King franchises in Michigan and Ohio, with 51 more scheduled to open over the next five years.

Klebba, who now lives in Brighton, Michigan, founded Northern Diamond Management in 2017, an equity management firm that acts as a parent for Northern Blends, the Smoothie King holding company.

I would call the owner of the franchise and call the parent company and have her fired and blacklisted from working at any of their restaurants

A whole generation of my actions have no consequences because my single parent home told me I was special, or my book shelf of participation trophies said I was a winner regardless of the outcome, or my angry loser HS English teacher told me I was a victim.

A lost generation is the Gen Z. I feel bad for Gen Alpha.

Not really. She'll be fired with cause. You're not supposed to be eligible for unemployment when you're fired for cause.

But she'll likely get it anyway.

Her company has the right to refuse service on the basis of political affiliation.

If that is company policy, then she won't suffer any negative repercussions.

If it's not, she'll likely be fired.

As an individual she doesn't have the right to represent her employer any way she wants and still retain her job or escape punishment.

I've seen times I catch people stealing and have video and they still get unemployment. Depends on the case worker, even if you protest.

She literally said they don't align with company values. Maybe she lied, maybe she was told that by the franchisee

They were fired.

Some mod moved this thread from the OT where most of the discussion was. Mods can be odd ducks at times.

The business has the right to refuse service to anyone. Trumpers are so god damn sensitive and dumb. This also isn't discrimination.


Are Trump supporters demanding she be arrested?

Dumb kunt is angling for a GoFundMe payout. She's hoping to get fired. Then she will cry that because of evil racists, she was fired and can't find any other jobs.

If companies are smart, none of them would hire her again, because it's obvious that she dgaf about working, she's only wanting to use her employment as a platform to create a scene and have it go viral.
