Kroger has agreed to pay $180,000 to settle a lawsuit that involved two employees who say they were fired for refusing to wear LGBT-themed aprons due to their religious beliefs.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of the women by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in the final months of the Trump administration. The EEOC is a bipartisan commission that includes appointees of both President Biden and former President Donald Trump.
According to the suit, a Conway, Ark., grocery store “engaged in religious discrimination when it disciplined and ultimately fired the employees for refusing to wear an apron with the company’s ‘Our Promise’ symbol because they believed it represented support for the LGBTQ+ community,” an EEOC news release said.
Kroger denies the allegations.

Oh, so that’s the usual policy. Thanks.
Did mostly insurance defense work. If I thought we had a loser, we would settle - unless the plaintiff demanded an outrageous amount in damages. Then we'd admit liability but contest damages (that worked remarkably well. Focus the jury on the issue.)
Kroger decided to cut its losses.
The county in which this Kroger is located has been carried by the Republican candidates for President in every election since 2000. In 2020, Trump won the county by 29 percentage points.

Good for them.
Red and Yellow, Black and White, they are precious in His sight... would have been a better choice.
Algonquin J. Calhoun: Your honor, not only do I deny the allegations, I deny the allegator.
I shop at kroger. Closest to my house. Burger king had the 2 bottoms or 2 top sandwich. Etsy sided with blm .. What’s left
It’s hard to find some company that hasn’t sold out.
Tomorrow we’re buying some furniture, and plan to go to Rooms To Go. There are things we like better, but RTG is advertising like crazy on Real America’s Voice. They may do some bad stuff that I don’t know about.
I went right down the street to Publix; they didn't bat an eye and gave me 8 free cartons for the My Coke Rewards coupons.
I suspect there is difference in corporate personalities between Kroger, headquartered in Ohio, and Publix, headquartered in Florida.
The rainbow hearts are just another way to alienate customers. How many LGBTQ people does Kroger think there are in our population? Virtue signaling is a disingenuous farce.
You clowns who continually talk to yourselves have some serious issues... On occasion I click into your “View Replies” and never see any!! You however had one reply, and that was to yourself and you didn’t delete the reply to box...
Fkn weird man...
So Kroeger execs didn’t even have the courage to admit why the fired these men?
