Black Lives Matter protesters pushed their way into a Seattle Trader Joe’s demanding the company give “15 percent at least.” The group has repeated the tactic of harassing the store’s staff and customers over the past few months.
A video tweeted Thursday night shows a large group of BLM activists entering a Seattle Trader Joe’s store. They chanted and beat drums as they marched through the grocery chain location.
The marchers chanted demands that the store donate “15 percent at least” to the Black community. They went on to harass customers and store employees, demanding they join the cause.

They are just trying to make Jackson & Sharpton proud by taking the scam to the next level.
Black privilege discounts?
Racists.
I shop there and have witnessed the store aisle stock clerks rudely talking to customers to wear their masks properly.
It’s not what they say, it’s how they say it.
It’s been rumored that some of the store employees are BLM/Antifa, typical white young people attending the local colleges with a gig at Trader Joe’s. Most of these young people there are hard working and polite but a few seem to have adopted a Marxist mindset. These latter need to go.
The Store’s headquarters in California had shut down this store temporarily during the nearby riots and were thinking to shut it down permanently based on BLM influences but tens of thousands of its customers signed an online petition to keep the store open.
So it’s still open but maybe it should be shut down. The next store is a further 4 miles away. Not a big deal.
But after the rudeness I witnessed, I am thinking to divorce myself from Trader Joes.

Someone should ask them if they want that 15% based off of gross receipts or net. They would have no clue what either word means.
“Pigs in a blanket; fry ‘em like bacon”. NOPE. No 15% to you. Get lost.
BTW, that was one of Trump’s excellent zingers last night to Biden AND the moderator.
Yep...protection scheme....aka extortion like all the race baiters do...
I have mixed feelings about that.
BLM in Louisville did this, too, to Hispanic businesses.
Their demands include:
* “donate money”, hire blacks and pay diversity trainers
* put up pro-BLM signs
OR
* they’ll interfere in the business such as setting up shop in front of it
* give bad reviews on Yelp (see Yelp’s flag a racist feature)

The mob guys usually didn’t ask for as much and were nicer about it (initially anyway). Not defending the mob just saying BLM appears worse!

These black thugs have already threatened to flag businesses as racist if you don’t hire them and buy their stuff or “donate” money.
Seattle was an amazing place up until 1998.
Do these admitted “trained Marxists” not know that Marx himself was a virulent racists who used the “N” word liberally?
Black Lives Matter are terrorists and have degraded all those who are black to the point they no longer matter.
America is what matters
They pretty much have. No arrest for thieves under a certain amount.
If their prices go up, then you should stop shopping there—otherwise you are subsidizing BLM.
I would gladly pay the now $3 for a bottle of their 2 buck chuck wine just so I could then crack it over one of their heads.
