This is horrible, I’m not completely surprised. Five years ago when they opened a store in my Pennsylvania suburb, the door chime played Dixie. I complained to the company and they changed it to the national anthem. 🙄 Won’t be shopping there again.

I figured the new manager must have been a son of the south and wanted to make a statement. I guess if the same happened today, TS would laugh at me and put up confederate flags.

There's a weird breed of folks who have never lived in nor otherwise tied to "the South" and yet they act like they have/are. Hell, I've seen the true lunacy of CANADIANS saying stupid shit which isn't even relevant to their laws/Charter.

My paternal family is still in racist ass western Virginia. Some in-laws live in North Carolina. We visit a few times every year, and there is a difference in the last 8 years or so. So, I do have experience with those who still embrace “the cause “.

We have some who fly confederate flags outside of their rundown houses here. This is a little slice of Alabama north of the Mason Dixon. It’s probably due to the racism in the area. Sad sad spot.
