Whole food Markets Bans the poppy

[Beach Ball Bitch]

An international chain of supermarkets is banning employees from wearing poppies this November while working. On Wednesday, Whole Foods ordered staff to take them off, saying they are not part of the uniform.

this November, no poppy can be on a Whole Foods uniform. The company’s policy prohibits staff from wearing them at work and it’s become a sticking point for some that work there and those that shop there as well.

Whole Foods has issued the following statements.

“The updated company dress code provides our Team Members with one simplified and unified policy to follow when working in our stores. Like many of our policies, our dress code is in place to ensure that we are prioritizing operational safety and serving our customers by keeping the focus in our stores on selling the highest quality food and fulfilling Whole Foods Market’s purpose of Nourishing People and the Planet,”

And let’s not forget that liberal city council in Ajax, Ontario Canada thought it was a good idea to name a street after a Nazi admiral who scuttled his ship in Argentina to allow Nazis to escape.

and who do you think damaged the unknown soldier in ottawa? Not right wing people who have a love for this country even though the libs hate it.

Let’s not forget Pierre Trudeau harassing Jewish people in montreal dressed as a Nazi either. Justin is just like his father.



pierre trudeau during WW2.



yet people have the Gaul to say I am a Nazi, a white supremacist. When in fact historically and currently it has been those on the left who are.

upside down world.

hmmm, wonder who damaged the unknown soldier in Canada. Not one of those people who love this land.

Another case of government pointing a finger at someone, not realizing the same hand has three pointing back to them.

Wow what a nice guy

[Beach Ball Bitch]

As riots break out in Toronto, because you know. Police have to be defunded and this is a racist country and city. Lol. I guess toronto as a test subject for the UN is working out well. I guess trudeau opening up the immigration doors to the land of opportunity didn’t pan out. I guess labelling streets in Toronto as black slave streets has improved things too. I guess those transwomen want their free tampons. People who bleed need them.

[Dr. Doom]

Now you guys are having that shit too?
Good Lord..

[Beach Ball Bitch]

Yes we are.

[Undies]

That seems awfully specific and random. Is wearing poppies a thing at whole foods?

[Beach Ball Bitch]

Poppies are for Remembrance Day. November 11th ... buy poppies to wear and the money goes to veterans. They have banned them. It is a UK , Canadian, and Australian thing too. Might be a New Zealand thing as well. Not sure, to ban them is a disgrace. Apparently it is offending some people.

its a big thing in Canada...we all tend to wear the poppy from nov 1 to nov 11

i keep one in my truck so i dont have to constantly donate to the door beggars ....theres none this year though due to covid

I was also wondering the significance of the poppies? There is something deep in the dusty attic of my memory that says the poppy might have something to do with the royal family?

Edit: Nope, I just looked it up and it is for remembrance of veterans.

[SpaceMan]

look up the poem "in flanders fields"

[Beach Ball Bitch]

Yep written by a Canadian WW1 vet. My fav poem was written by him.

High Flight it is called.

[Youfreeme]

Whole Foods claims that they do not allow employees to wear things that show support for a specific cause, and the poppies are supporting a cause.

[Youfreeme]

What does it mean to me? Not much, as long as Whole Foods is consistent with this. I think they need to enforce it equally for ALL causes, not just this one (so no BLM pins, no Pro-vegan stuff, no MAGA, etc.),

Alternatively, they are a private business and can do whatever they want. If people don't like, it--they don't have to shop there.

[Beach Ball Bitch]

Exactly. Double standard is the problem. But our role in WWs should not be shunned in any way. Nor hidden like some dirty secret.

[Dr. Doom]

Being made to conform to stupid shit is one of the first steps in making people adjust and learn not to think for themselves. Iow, Socialism.

[everything bagel]

I should care, but I live in a world where people outraged by this would support a business banning the wearing of rainbow flag pins, so whatever.

It's a shame but it's not like there are any WW1 veterans around to be offended by this. I mean, the same people who lose their shit over reparations because no slaves are alive today, are losing their shit over this despite the fact that their are no WW1 veterans alive today (maybe literally a couple)

lol I don't even know how to react to this hypocritical outrage anymore

[Beach Ball Bitch]

Someone is cracked if they think Canada doesn’t have any WW vets around or veterans around. Plus someone needs education on which WW the poppy came from. Lol And what, who it represents today before they decide to respond.

probably one of those people who think old people should die.

No, passive agressive asshat, no one is cracked. I know exactly what world war poppies came from. WW1 which concluded almost exactly 102 years ago. November 11th will be the 102nd anniversary of the end of WW1. I also acknowledged there may be a couple of WW1 vets still with us.

Is common sense just not your first language or something?

[everything bagel]

Yes, I typed "their" instead of "there."

But "burn the rainbow flag." Now we see who you really are

[Beach Ball Bitch]

Lol. Someone doesn’t get it. Ban the poppy, ban the rainbow, ban blm. Burn the flag, tear it all down. But you are always Quick to call people racist because they don’t agree with you. Lol. They will turn on you too and have.

[everything bagel]

Beach Ball Bitch ok thot, I CHALLENGE you to PROVE that I call people who disagree with me racist. Failure to do so makes you an assole.

Annnnnnnnnnddd.....GO!

[everything bagel]

I mean, fuck

Burning the rainboww flag isn’t racist. Just like burning the american flag isn’t. It is just making a statement!

no one cares about the rainbow flag. It is old and needs to be torn down too, destroyed.

she is always quick to claim racism and make the go to assumption because it serves her purpose.

ban the poppy. Lol. It does not represent the freedoms we have today says the left... it is racist too on this land but it is more offensive to people who are not of here.

nice to see someone who is really triggered though. Lol

[everything bagel]

lol Jesus fuckin Christ

When you get around to proving me a racist for people disagreeing with me, let me know

[Beach Ball Bitch]

I never called you racist. You on the other hand suggested I was. Gaslighting again? Go ahead and lie. Bagel -l Burn the rainbow flag, now we see who you really are.l That is a quote from you. Implied but I am sure you will claim this is not what you meant. It is what you do.

[everything bagel]

Anything else? Or are we done here?

[Beach Ball Bitch]

It is all up to you sweetie. You can always block me like you said you did.
