It’s shameful
– – you would THINK that they would make an ECCEPTION with this wonderful “poppy Badge” that symbolizes the HONOR and RESPECT that we have for all of our Vets and their wonderful families !! – – …..( who also prob. shop there ) – –
Agreed
Our symbols are more sacred than our reasons.
Outrageous!
Just like elderabuse
– SHAME -……..wear the poppy proudly with GREAT respect for them !! !! –
Looks like I will never set foot in Whole Foods again 🤷
Like you ever shopped there before peasant
@bonbonvega Bon 😂 funny
You and I both have no use for this arrogant company this is totally disrespectful to our veterans and an insult to all Canadians take your whole company and stick it up your kazoo I’m being polite because I’m Canadian but when it comes to our veterans you better be respectful
See you next week
Well that was dumb it’s going to bite them in the rear
Amazon owned company..
Too many yankee owned companies here. Their decisions are often disrespectful of Canadian beliefs, case in point. We need to get back to having more major chain stores be Canadian owned.
@grunf0094 wholeheartedly agree with you. Instead former manufacturing facilities are being tuned into condos for foreign investors; also, 2 of 3 major cities in Wloo Region have Amazon warehouses opening soon along with drones slated to start servicing the region for deliveries and other uses too..
Another reason I will never shop in Whole Foods again!!!
I will never shop there ever again! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
So is this the same policy in the other Amazon companies?
No more whole foods for me!!! You just added yourself to the blacklist!!
Cant wear a poppy….but ya gotta wear a mask?!
Wear masks with poppy prints!
if they dont change their policy, we will not shop there.
They have reversed their decision but to even suggest such a policy is enough for me. I’ve shopped at one of the first Whole foods in Canada for over a decade…. I’m done!
then the RCMP should close them down and send them back to the USA.
Cops dont shut down companies in Canada dude. Canada is a democracy not a fascist dictatorship. Get educated fascist loving con!!
so I’m never shopping there now. isn’t this owned by Amazon anyways? why even support an American chain?
I boycotted Whole Foods. The poppy is not a fashion statement, its a show of respect for all the freedom we have as Canadians. It comes for a brief time once a year.
Perhaps each Whole foods store could donate about $10,000 to to closest legion for poppies.
Veterans want reparations.
Whole Foods is owned by Amazon, their parent company, which means Jeff Bezos is behind this.
