Customers at a Staten Island Home Depot were shocked to see one of the company’s employees wearing an “America Was Never Great” hat earlier this week.

Krystal Lake, 22, of St. George got political during a shift on Tuesday. Her twist on Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump’s slogan was immediately shared online.

Ms. Lake said the social media furor between those who said she correct, and those who thought she was both unprofessional and wrong, was unexpected.

This is the kind of thinking produced by a public education these days.

There are a number of black Africans that drive taxi’s here in the UAE. I like to strike up a conversation with the drivers and to a man, all of them tell me how great Americans are as customers and that we treat them with respect. They also would love to come to America to work as they envy the freedom we have. Maybe Ms. Lake needs to visit Uganda and get a different perspective.

Home Depot’s policy used to be only company approved hats and local sports team hats can be worn. Maybe they changed their policy in this PC world.

Do US retailers have a death wish?

In my experience, pissing-off one’s customers is not a good business strategy.

I’d ask to see the manager, leave my cart, and tell him why.

So Home Depot allows their employees to bash this country during their shifts. Here is another store to not shop at.

With Ross, TJ Maxx, Target, Home Depot, etc seeming committing suicide, it would be wise to open a Christian/Pro America based department store to pick up the pieces and allow good God fearing Americans a place to shop and feel safe to do it.

It was great before SHE came along.
She is too young to remember when America WAS great, and of course, is ignorant of the historical time when it really was great.

DJT selflessly sacrifices his former life and endures this to work for his country (and her benefit), but alas, she is too neurologically-challenged to understand that.
