Seems like the most countercultural thing a Christian could do is love their political opponents in thought, word, & deed.

Grocery run today. Already hit Sam’s Club & about to head home. Spotted this post… doubled back & picked up @redbaronpizza. It wasn’t on the list, but I support companies that do right by their people. Talked to the kids & they agree we’re gonna eat red Baron going forward.
He’s still here. He’s got a fan club. Including us.

A quick disclaimer, I don’t typically post about my shopping decisions based on social media outrage or whatever. I don’t want to be a part of virtue signaling or any of that other nonsense. Watching the guy’s reaction just broke my heart. I don’t plan on doing this again.

Vacation day 4… it’s 10:30 in the morning and I’m still laying in bed with Jack, Who is very cuddly today. He is going to the vet tomorrow. Hopefully he will be done with his surgery recovery… I need to go grocery shopping, but I don’t want to. I’m enjoying doing nothing.

Replying to @redbaronpizza
@redbaronpizza read the quote tweets and comments. This guy struck a chord. You have an opportunity to stand with this guy and win so much credibility. Help him out and you’ll win more loyal customers than you can imagine. It’s an opportunity for a reverse bud light.
You can hear the hurt in this guys voice. It’s so relatable to me, because he’s most likely a truck driver like I am. When I told my company a few years ago that I needed to be home several months in advance, sending constant reminders, because I’m moving, they got me home a day late and I nearly missed my move in date. I was angry and I almost quit on the spot. Now imagine having kids and your company tells you that you have to work a little extra, when you were supposed to be home an hour ago, but have 10 more stores to deliver to. If someone does launch a GOFUNDME for him, I will donate a considerable amount. 🙏🏾

This is how you do it… it’s such an easy win…
If @redbaronpizza seized the moment, paid the guy’s debt, gave him a vacation with his kids, covered some therapy, & billed it as standing with American workers they’d win more customers for life than any advertising campaign, could ever hope to accomplish. Just be better.

FOUR KIDS AT HOME AND THEY'RE FILMING HIM FOR CLOUT?? Harmless content, or picked the wrong guy? A Red Baron rep is stocking a grocery store freezer when a couple of young people with a camera start messing with him. He snaps, then tells them he has to be up at 5 in the morning, he's still out working late, he's got four kids at home and he can't pay his mortgage. If that were my son holding that phone, the video would come down and he'd be finding that man to apologize to his face. Yes, he lost his cool. Calling somebody a punk on camera never helps your case. Now look at what he's carrying. Early mornings, more stores to hit, four kids and a mortgage. And somebody decided his bad day would make good content. There's a guy like him in every grocery store in America, grinding through the shift nobody sees. Turning one of them into the punchline isn't edgy. It's lazy. Leave the working man alone. He's got enough on his plate.

This is an easy win or a catastrophic loss… deep down I suspect that there’s a boardroom somewhere where someone’s advising Red Baron to sit quiet as possible, and hope it blows over…

that might work. I don’t think it will… not unless they can keep the guys name out of the news AND if they didn’t fire him. The right move is to courageously surf the wave… take advantage of the opportunity and do the right thing.

Hey, @redbaronpizza, I’m a customer. I have 2 teenagers. I pick up your personal pizzas periodically at Sam’s Club b/c my kids like them. Watched the viral video thing last night now I’m watching for your reaction. Treat your employee right!

I’m ready to only buy red baron. I told my 13 year old about it and we talked about all the kinds of frozen pizza we eat and he knew exactly which one was yours cause it’s delicious. He agreed if you do right we should buy from you.
