I just received an email from @officedepot CEO Gerry Smith and he has assured me that the company has now fired ALL associates involved in this insane discrimination where they denied printing a Charlie Kirk memorial photo for a prayer vigil. Part of his statement below:
"We continue to closely manage our response to the unfortunate customer experience that occurred at Office Depot Store 3382 in Portage, Michigan on September 12. The behavior displayed by the associates was completely unacceptable and insensitive, violated our company policies, and did not reflect the values we uphold at Office Depot. On behalf of the Company, we sincerely apologize for this regrettable situation.
Upon learning of the incident, we immediately reached out to the customer to address their concerns. We also launched an immediate internal review and, as a result, the associates responsible are no longer with the organization."
