I hope they cash in big and teach these Liberal CEO's a Got Damn Lesson. https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy...as-workers-who-refused-to-wear-lgbt-logoKroger is being accused of violating federal law for allegedly firing two employees who refused to wear a rainbow emblem, which they believe contradicts their religious beliefs. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission accused the supermarket in a lawsuit filed Monday of terminating the women after they asked for a religious accommodation so that they didn't have to display the rainbow. The lawsuit claims that a Kroger store in Conway, Ark., implemented a new dress code in April 2019 that "required all employees to wear a new apron with a new logo, a rainbow heart embroidered on the top left portion of the bib." The rainbow flag has long been a symbol of the LGBT community.

I have been invested in Kroger for ~30 years, and I agree with you...

It is enjoyable to see the other side get to taste their own medicine. I too, hope it costs them millions.

Kroger is chain that I once thought highly of, but have lost my esteem for them over stuff like this.
I know a family who has a young adult daughter daughter with Asperger's. Pleasant, highly intelligent and capable, she got a job last year at Kroger. Requested only that she not be scheduled before noon on Sunday's so she could attend church, which she did each week. People with Asperger's tend town/need routine. Can you guess when she got scheduled? Every Sunday. If she was scheduled 16 hours for the week, 8 of them would be Sunday. After a month, she spoke to her supervisor and asked once again. She was available any other day and morning. Net 2 week schedule came out and she was scheduled only on Sundays!
If she'd had worn a burqa, she could get any day off, and extra time to pray to Mecca if requested.
She simply quit, which I suspect was the intention of the store and supervisor. Grocery stores often hire Special Needs kids or those with disabilities, and some managers don't have the compassion to work with them. The family could have dragged them to court over this one, but chose not to.

Stores would not stay open on Sunday's if all Christians would start staying home on Sunday's with their families. Alabama stores had to close on Sunday's until the late 70's. Pharmacy's, gas stations, restaurants, and motels were exempt for people traveling. So, Walmart, K-mart, and others started having pharmacies inside, and selling gas. Some Super Walmarts had restaurants inside. Many states in the south had these so called blue laws. Eventually grocery stores used the food exemption with ready to eat foods prepared in the stores and started staying open. Then the local mall started opening from 1pm - 6pm on Sunday's. No one said anything and finally the state did away with the blue laws.
People once (1950's) went to church on Sunday, and had a family dinner with the whole family on Sunday afternoons. Eventually jobs moved kids around the country, people started traveling more, spending weekends at the lake somewhere, etc. and quit going to church. Country has been going downhill ever sense. I hated working on Sunday's when I was a kid while going to college.

Kroger also owns other supermarket chains.. they own Fred Meyer here in the PNW...
I don't shop there much... Walmart and Winco are always cheaper.. and are on the same block in our town...

The family could have dragged them to court over this one, but chose not to. If she had only told them she needed Sunday mornings off in order to play in softball tournaments they probably would have made the arrangements. Good on her and her folks for their honesty; don't know that I could have let that go without a legal challenge. We Christians tend to avoid confrontations, often to our (short term) detriment.
The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.
