Wal-Mart Store Apologizes For Baking ISIS Battle Flag Cake
The Daily Caller ^ | 6/27/15 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 06/27/2015 3:43:17 PM PDT by paltz

Wal-Mart is apologizing for a store in Slidell, La., which refused to bake a cake designed as the Confederate battle flag but accepted a request to bake a cake that looked like the ISIS battle flag.

Chuck Netzhammer, a local resident, presented his story in a YouTube video Friday, saying, “Alright, Wal-Mart, you’ve got some explaining to do. I went to go buy a cake from you all the other day with this image on it and y’all wouldn’t do it. I went back yesterday and managed to get the ISIS battle flag [cake instead].”

Netzhammer shows the ISIS battle flag cake to the camera as well as the rejection letter Wal-Mart gave him for the confederate flag cake request. Netzhammer also shows the receipt that went along with the ISIS battle flag cake that Wal-Mart agreed to bake.

I guess the Wal-Mart employees can’t read Arabic, and probably never even heard of ISIS. What a surprise!

A lot of us don’t read Arabic, and don’t recognize the ISIS flag.

Many Walmart employees I see probably do read Arabic and recognize (and likely approve) the ISIS flag.

How did stupid and illiterate Walmart employees know how to trace Arabic letters correctly?

If they had given this to me it would be upside down on the floor.

Half of their employees are immigrants, some of them probably do know Arabic

Nope. Sorry. An apology not good enough.

Walmart called late one evening,to inquire about a credit card used in Ohio???

Thinking it was a hoax, called Bentonville, AR the next AM.
They were most helpful on our adventure in the rabbit’s hole of stolen identity! The cards were used in many places, only Walmart called us.

Houston Tx PD was also called to press charges, no one else did. The rest said it was a waste of time, they go to the delivery address and nobody, knows nothing.

The delivery address was always on or near MLK Drive.

Since then I look for reasons to go to Walmart, beyond motor oil and ammo.

The help at Walmart are more engaged in the work of the store than other large retailers.

No, and why should people who bake cakes?

Do you read Arabic?

They could at least look right here on wikipedia to see what the flag looks like.

It doesn’t look like a flag, it doesn’t like anything particularly, just some Arabic words.

I shop regularly at a small Middle Eastern grocery, and there is lots of Arabic in it and on the outside, including fliers that people put up.

It’s all just squiggly gibberish.

I was referring to you. Reading Arabic had nothing to do with it. But you knew that..
