“We want to acknowledge some feedback received regarding our Juneteenth celebration,” Pezzuto said in his letter obtained by The North Carolina Beat. “Although our intent was to celebrate this nationally recognized day, some of you voiced your concerns regarding the associated food choices.”
In other words, we’re sorry you were offended.
Is it possible they ask the employees what food they wished to be served on that day? And the ones who are complaining were a minority who didn’t want it?
It’s equally possible that they didn’t consult employees and just didn’t something that they thought was appropriate.
It’s not clear how it happened.
