Kroger faces backlash after police, officer's wife say employees refused to serve them

A Houston-area woman says a teenage cashier at a Kroger supermarket in Spring, Texas, stepped away from the cash register and refused to check out her groceries last week because she was offended by the message on the customer’s T-shirt. It read: “Police Lives Matter / All Lives Matter.”

The incident occurred just a week after a similar situation in Alexandria, La., when a police officer in uniform said a cashier declined to check out her groceries.

In Texas, the woman, who says her husband is a police officer and gave only her first name — Meredith — told KTRK Eyewitness News:

"She was stating that the shirt I had on was basically a slap in the face to her and she was doing everything she could not to cry. She made me feel ashamed to have the shirt on, and I don’t appreciate that.”

The incident has led the Blue Bow foundation, which works to support police officers and their families, to sever ties with the grocery chain.

Kroger accepts open carry of firearms in TX by concealed carry permit holders.

HEB does not.

Anyway: what is the name of the ghetto savage who needs to be fired? Lets name names, even if we cannot pronounce them.

It appears that nearly all others on the thread are concurring with my assessment of your foolishness.

Go tell your mommie.

You’re a knee-jerk nut case.

Agree.
