Blue Lives Matter Cake

WTF is with Americans and your cake wars?
 
My response to this is the same as my response would be if they refused to make a "Black Lives Matter" cake. And that response is as follows:

Meh.

Sorry. This "bakery activism" has become asinine.
 
Walmart cakes are disgusting anyway.

If true that's a very odd perception by the employees. They have no right to refuse and can be legally fired. I personally would fire them. They lady denied the cake really has no legal standing to sue but Walmart should do right and make the cake for her if she still wants it.
 
I can see lots of orders for "Blue Lives Matters" cakes in the near future. It would be interesting to see how they handle them.
 
It seems the employees refused to decorate the cake, so the manager did it.

The GM should have terminated them on the spot.

I guess they better haul the shoplifters to jail themselves.

And what are your thoughts on gay wedding cakes.

I think in both instances, if the company took a stand one way or the other on BlueLM cakes and/or gay wedding cakes... that would be fine, up to them. I am not sure Walmart did in this case. I think those employees should be fired if its their job to bake and decorate cakes and the company that hired them has no problem with it.

If they want to go out and form their own bakery, raising and risking their own capital, establishing their own brand, making their own rules, hell, they should be able to not bake as many cakes as they want. Up to and including baking their own going-out- of- business cake...

Or not.

That is something you would have to ask the bakers. It makes no sense to me.
 
Wow, that guys retirement was worth nothing more than a WalMart cake? Those things are terrible, bake a cake yourself.

Regardless, they should have made it. As I understand it, cakes cannot be refused any longer. And even if they did, I doubt that WalMart's policy would have been to do so. I haven't heard too much more about this, but I presume the employee was fired. Or maybe that was even the intent? Get fired, and make a huge thing out of it, then sue? Who knows.

Ah this makes sense. Were the employees African American by any chance?

In this case the employees were wrong for not making the cake since Walmart has no issue with this. They should have been fired or reprimanded. And I fail to see how that decoration is racists since there are black officers currently serving in the department.

People have a funny view about racism. The Charlotte case proves that. We have a black officer who did the shooting and a black chief of police and yet the department is still racist. In the Baltimore case a few years ago we had at least two black officers charged and eventually exonerated and yet the department was called racist. I live in a city where long ago Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and the like visited many times due to police matters and I was so glad when we appointed an African American as chief of police. It really helped and stopped a lot of this stupid nonsense. But, that was several years ago. Now all police departments are racist, even when black officers are involved.

Correct. There is a problem in many shootings but I don't think the problem is rooted in racism, rather it is rooted in lack of training and experience I think. This could be a reflection of police department funding issues or mismanagement of those funds.
 
Big difference. When liberals show up intent on being refused service they already have their attorney and their intent to sue letter all ready. Apparently, these people just wanted a cake. They aren't suing Walmart, they aren't suing the idiots who didn't want to decorate the cake. They just wanted a cake.

I've never bought a Walmart cake but we get all our birthday cakes from Sam's Club. Excellent cakes.

I agree. The Black Lives Matter movement has turned it into a racist thing and is more interested in promoting that agenda rather than addressing the real problem. There aren't really that many "bad" cops out there. Of course there will always be some but these people - male, female, black, etc. are thrust into tough split second situations where better training can help but we have to also realize that anyone can make the wrong decision in these split second life or death situations. As a result of this and the hate spewed by the Black Lives Matter movement, many officers have become too hesitant and have paid the price for it.

What is your thought on the OP.

Your first reaction shouldn't be to deflect.
 
Oh look, more cake asininity. Oh America, if only the Founding Fathers were around to see what their progeny devolved to.
 
Police should start refusing to respond to calls that come from TLM supporters.
