Georgia Walmart refuses to bake officer’s retirement cake [View all]

One Walmart is Georgia is drawing intense criticism after three of the employees refused to bake a cake for a police officer who was retiring, claiming racism.

The McDonough Walmart allegedly told the police officer’s daughter that they were unwilling to design the cake for the officer who served the community for 25 years. The daughter had shown an image of the police flag, but she says the bakers told her none of them felt comfortable making the design on the cake.

Reportedly, the woman then asked if a chocolate cake with a blue line across the middle could be done instead, a notion the bakers denied again.

She told media pundit Todd Starnes. “I didn’t know what to do or say or anything. I was trying not to lose my temper or make a scene.” The woman ultimately left the store to find another bakery.
