Should be ten times that.

What about customers who refuse to shop there? Do they get fired, too?/s

[lee martell]

Good. A rare instance where sanity prevails.
Hopefully, Kroger won’t appeal.

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

Kroger denies the allegations, while their “legal” denial costs a mere $180K? Cost of doing business seems to be queerly going up.

[MayflowerMadam]

Only $180,000? Shameful!

ACHTUNG!!!!

You don’t even need a religious reason to refuse the rainbow. It’s a POLITICAL symbol. Forcing an employee to wear it is no different than telling people they have to vote Democrat or at least agree with their agenda.

Anyone who forces faggotry on innocents should be sued into oblivion for violation of civil rights

Libtards should be taken to court for every illegal subversion of rights

[algore]

I almost had to sue Kroger due to their demanding to scan Drivers License’s which could result in identity theft or worse.

They even called the cops on me when I tried to serve them

LGBT Rainbow = Gibberish

[ProtectOurFreedom]

It should not be limited to “religious” reasons. It should be sufficient that you don’t want to be forced to display something with which you personally disagree as a condition of employment. I’d feel the same way if a store or business made me wear ANY political statement.

Imagine if they forced you to wear a BLM pin, an islamic crescent ribbon, a DNC badge, or a Christian cross! It is totally inappropriate for any business to require you to wear any of these things no matter what religion you are.

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

Funny thing this is in Arkansas.

[Openurmind]

Good... The local Kroger here went full woke and stupid. Kroger deserves to get hit for their foolishness.

[HYPOCRACY]

[rellic]

Hard to believe that was disclosed. Usually EEOC settlements require a Non-Disclosure Agreement that invalidates the settlement if revealed. I know this. Big corporations don’t like to look bad.

[StAnDeliver]

"One woman “offered to wear the apron with the emblem covered, and the other offered to wear a different apron without the emblem, but the company made no attempt to accommodate their requests,” the EEOC said.

When the women “still refused to wear the apron with the emblem visible,” the EEOC said, Kroger “retaliated against them by disciplining and ultimately discharging them.”

Extremely well-played. Dream clients. Nice payday all around. Now where is their suit against the Teamsters for failing to back their objection?

[Wdempsey]

Supposed to sell quality groceries to FAMILIES not promote buggery!

Goodbye

[SaveFerris]

[two employees who say they were fired for refusing to wear LGBT-themed aprons due to their religious beliefs]

Good for them.

Red and Yellow, Black and White, they are precious in His sight... would have been a better choice.

I haven't been in a Kroger store for at least fifteen years.   They torqued me off one too many times.   Their employees were always rude.   The last straw was the day I tried to use 8 My Coke Rewards coupons for 8 refrigerator 12 packs of Coke and they refused to honor them.   I was told I could only use one at a time.   They would have been reimbursed by Coca-Cola, so there shouldn't have been a problem and in the past they had let me redeem more that one at a time.   I had been visiting that store for twenty five years.   The lead person at the store was a Turkish woman named Donia and the Manager backed her up.

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.
