Three Walmart workers in McDonough, Georgia refused to decorate a “thin
blue line” cake for a police officer’s retirement party because they said
it was racist.
A number of my Georgia readers alerted me to the story and on Saturday
night I spoke directly with the police officer’s daughter. She asked that I
not divulge her name and I’ve agreed to honor her request.

“I was so shocked,” she told me. “I didn’t know what to do or say or
anything. I was trying not to lose my temper or make a scene.”
The baker told me the blue line cake was racist
— Police Officer's Daughter
For the record, Walmart has confessed that most of her allegations are
true. I’ll have more on that a bit later in this column.
The police officer’s daughter went to the Walmart on Willow Drive on Sept.
22 to order a flag for her father’s retirement party. He was leaving the
force after 25-years on the job.
She showed the bakers a photograph of the police officer’s flag - the black
and white version of Old Glory with a blue line.

“One of the bakers told me the design could be perceived as racist and
nobody feels comfortable decorating the cake,” the police officer’s
daughter told me.
As an alternative, she suggested a chocolate-frosted cake with a
horizontal, frosted blue line.
But that design was also rejected by Walmart’s cake decorator.
“She said, ‘I don’t feel comfortable doing this,’” the cop’s daughter told
me. “I asked her, ‘Is there something wrong with cops?’”
After being rejected for a third time, the 21-year-old told the bakers,
“I’ll find another bakery, thank you.”
She was much more polite than I would’ve been, folks.
“I was disappointed,” she told me. “I go to Walmart all the time — at least
once a week spend hundreds of dollars. I just wanted to make my dad a cake
to show how much i appreciated him.”
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.
“I can confirm an associate made a mistake that has since been corrected
for the customer,” the spokesperson told me.
So how did Walmart right their wrong? The answer to that question is going
to curdle your Fruit Loops, folks.
The manager offered to make and decorate a new cake. But there was just one
problem — the cake decorators refused to comply.
“So the manager told me that he would decorate it — but it looked
terrible,” the police officer’s daughter said. “It doesn’t look
professional.”
I’ve attached photographs of Walmart’s handiwork — it’s absolutely
embarrassing and unacceptable.
“I work in retail,” the officer’s daughter told me. “If I didn’t want to
deal with a customer — and said ‘No’ — I would get fired.”
Unfortunately, her father’s retirement party is Sunday night - so there’s
no time to go elsewhere.
“It irritates me that in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Walmart was looted
and the cops were protecting them,” she said. “And you can’t make a cake
for the people who are protecting you?”
Walmart needs to make this right and they can start by delivering a
professionally decorated cake to the police officer’s family.
The three cake decorators need to be told: either decorate the cake or be
fired.
Just because Walmart is the home of low prices, doesn’t mean they have to
hire a bunch of low class, anti-cop bigots.

During a speech on Monday regarding terrorism, GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke about immigration:
"We want people to come into our country, but they have to come in legally, through a process… No one has a right to immigrate to this country. It is the job of a responsible government to admit only those who expect to succeed and flourish here and really be proud of what they've done and where they came from. They have to love our country."
