Yesterday, someone posted an article about HEB, and how they sponsored an event called Rainbow on the Creek, which included a drag queen story time.
I called my local HEB, and was told that was not true.
I looked into it more today. I went to their own website, HEB Newsroom. There is a calendar of events.
For June, HEB had 8 pride events. Pretty much all geared toward children. There were festivals, rodeo's, a zoo event, a picnic, and of course drag queen story time. Then, I looked at May to see how they celebrated our veterans on Memorial Day. Not one single event or mention of our vets. Disgusting. Let them know.
I'm sure they're instructed not to comment on these stories by corporate.
I was a restaurant general manager in my 20s and part of my orientation included not talking to the local media and referring any questions to the franchise's home office.
Oh, I understand what you are saying, but I would guess that you never had to turn a blind eye to this kind of disgusting stuff towards children. In this situation, would you have agreed with the customers and disavowed the sponsorship of children being read to by evil looking men in drag, or refused to comment?
I would want to end the conversation as quickly as possible, especially if I was stuck in a dead end job answering phone calls from angry customers.
