Whole Foods sues customer who falsely accused it of putting anti-gay slur on cake

In the first video shown below, A Whole Foods customer shows what he claims is an “unopened” box for the cake that he bought at Whole Foods, and shows that there is an anti-gay slur on the cake. He points out that the price sticker on the side and bottom of the box proves that the box has not been opened.

The customer then sued Whole Foods over the slur.

In the second video, Whole Foods responds by showing its security footage, which shows that when the customer bought the cake, the price sticker was actually on top of the box, not on the side, thus proving that the customer had indeed opened the box.

Whole Foods is now countersuing the customer for knowingly filing a false lawsuit.

I hope Whole Foods wins its lawsuit.

Does this mean the tables are turning?

There have been some ridiculous hoax hate crimes lately, but this one really takes the cake.

Good.

When I read the description ‘openly gay pastor,’ I stopped reading.

Stories like this really frost me.

Whole Foods has some secret libertarian impulses emanating from upper management.

Good. Make them pay double what they’ve been doing to those who just want to live and let live.

The Sleeping Giant is waking up...

Probably 99% of the “victim” claims are scams.

Does this mean the tables are turning?

No, it just means there is an upper limit to some of the litigiousness, especially if you pick on someone with the resources to fight back.

Under Hammurabi’s Code, the false accuser would suffer the same penalty which they sought for the target of the false accusation.

Wasn’t expecting that! I remember fixing their phones that they admitted screwing up. Got 2 free pies out of it. I’m sure the generous employee preferred the company of other men. Good guy-I’m ugly.

That fag probably has a blog.

The amusing thing is that the Whole Foods bakery dept employee who did the cake, is gay

“We stand behind our bakery team member, who is part of the LGBTQ community, and we appreciate the team members and shoppers who recognize that this claim is completely false and directly contradicts Whole Foods Market’s inclusive culture, which celebrates diversity,” the company said.

Whole Foods will be criticized for exposing a Hoax Crime and drop the suit. This is a bad optic for the LGBT community.

My big company gave $500k to Jesse Jackson’s Operation Push just to avoid being called racists. My hero was a Silicon Valley type(T.J. Rogers) who called him out on that. About time!

Of course, the ultimate defense of Whole Paycheck is that the person who decorated the cake was queer.

I see what you did there!

Ha! Won’t be able to have his cake and eat it too!

I walked into Whole Foods wearing my Vietnam vet cap and expecting to be confronted by angry aged liberals. All I got out of it was veterans’ discount at the checkout.

I shop & compare prices at WF like any other food outlet. No politics in evidence there. Kinda disappointed.
