SLIDELL, La. (WGNO) – A Louisiana man is asking for an explanation from Walmart, after they refused to make a cake with a Confederate flag on it last week, but OKed a cake with the ISIS battle flag on it.
“Alright Walmart, you got some explaining to do,” Chuck Netzhammer said in a YouTube video.
Netzhammer explained that he went to a Slidell Walmart (167 Northshore Blvd Slidell LA) with the hope of getting a cake that said “Heritage Not Hate” printed in front of the Confederate flag. But an employee refused, sending him a reject letter.
Nezhammer said he went back the next day and asked for a cake with the ISIS battle flag on it. That cake was made
Walmart spokesman, John Forrest Ales, told ABC News, and PIX11, “Our talented bakery associates take pride in what they create for our customers. It’s unfortunate that one customer sought to take advantage of an associate who did not know the flag or its meaning. This cake should not have been made and we apologize for the mistake.”
