Walmart employee refuses to print shotgun wedding photo

The clerk told Wehner that the photo couldn't be released because the weapon would promote a "gang culture."

The 12-gauge Ruger though is a common hunting rifle and lists for just under $1,400 on the official Ruger website. Meanwhile Strobl happens to make his living writing manuals for hunting and outdoor recreation types, which would lend itself to spending time outside with a shotgun.

Gang culture?

Do these people look like "unarmed teens"?

I’m thinking law suit, as in gay (queer) wedding cake thing.

Who still prints photographs from film?

They look like a double barrel of fun.

What a cute couple. Ok since gays can sue Christian for making them a cake. I hope this couple can sue Walmart - just wishful thinking.

Who still prints photographs from film?

Almost no one, and there's no mention of film in the article.

I see normal, well adjusted Americans, starting out on a life together. Good lord, when did this become deviant, or something that people would not celebrate.

Since it was an online photo lab, sounds like it was prints from digital

[Red Badger]

A clerk making up stuff to suit her own ideology, no doubt, projecting he politics on top of a store policy that doesn’t exist...............

[TexasGator]

Where did you see film?

[Mears]

Very cute couple.

Of course if they refused to print a gay wedding photo, they’d be sued out of existence.

[DJ MacWoW]

But it does say "develop and print for customers."

And people do still have film cameras.

That’s a pretty darn wholesome picture!
Where must your head be at to find that in any way offensive?
Please don’t answer that.

I suspect that the clerk, “who told Wehner that the photo couldn’t be released because the weapon would promote a ‘gang culture,’” will be rebuked by someone higher in the organization, as the flood of protests come to Walmart’s attention. I seriously doubt that this reflects Corporate policy at Walmart.

Hey, every business has a few stupid employees.
