A friend of the family posted an item about the incident on Facebook and it wasn’t long before the Walmart store manager called the police officer’s wife and daughter — and apologized.
“He said he was so sorry,” the daughter told me. “He offered to make the cake free of charge and he gave me a $50 gift card.”
A Walmart corporate spokesperson confirmed most of the story.
“Our goal is to always take care of customers,” the spokesperson told me. “But, sometimes we misstep.We’re glad we were able to connect with the family to apologize and make this right.”
Walmart did not say if one of their associates called the cake racist.

They are good at what they do, but I see lots of ways a person could do it better and take a market share or two away from them, if they wanted to do something besides gripe. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

The USA with 350 million people has a tiny, tiny percentage of folks that give gunowners a bad name. Walmart has a tiny, tiny percentage of its 2 million employees that make stupid decisions.
Seems you could find a better reason to boycott them, if that's your decision, than the referenced issue.
Imagine your grave on a windy winter night. You've been dead for 70 years.
It's been 50 since a visitor last paused at your tombstone.....
Now explain why you're in a pissy mood today.

Used to know a lady who was a Wal Mart stockholder, back when Bill Clinton was in office, She said Hillary was on their board of directors at a very generous salary, although company records did not show her ever attending any board meetings or otherwise taking an active role. Her speculation was that this started when Bill was governor, and was just a business decision to buy off the wife of the governor of the state where your corporate headquarters was located.

Let's see if I have this right. Some folks here want us all to boycott Walmart, and Target, and Sears, and Wendy's, and Chick-Fil-A, and Outback Steakhouse, and Levi's, and Chevy, and Ford, and Smith & Wesson, and Ruger, and...
So tell me, where do you guys buy anything?

I personally have never been inside a Walmart store, Nor will I ever go into a Walmart store. What is there saying, live better buy Walmart, they pay their employees [bleep] put them on a 35 hour work week no benefits, help them get government assistance, food stamps. Treat them like garbage, I knew a person that was a manager for them for a short time. Yet the Waltons are filthy rich.

Some here sell guns, some don't. miles The Walmart stores that sold firearms stopped stocking "assault" type guns in late August of last year but continued to sell conventional sporting type guns. Their claim as to why was because sales of that style guns had dropped significantly. To my knowledge Walmart stopped selling handguns a good many years ago.
