Whole Foods Bans Employees Wearing Poppies

a reply to: Rekrul

In Canada, and other commonwealth countries, we wear poppies during Remembrance times in November, and up to November 11th, to show our support for fallen soldiers and veterans. The collection of money for poppy pins supports our legion, which in turn (usually) supports veterans, seniors, and communities.

It's a really big deal here. Like memorial day in the states, but very somber.

Wow that's pretty messed up whole foods is doing that. Thanks for the info.

They backpedaled pretty quickly. Cultural oversight.

Just another in a very long list of reasons not to give Whole Foods or that motherlover The Bezos any more of your money.

But you can still buy smack off the workers I hear.

Working at WholeFoods doesn't pay the bills. Everyone has a side gig.
