Its crazy that cake decorating has become the new battleground for rights. Certainly Wal-mart can refuse to sell confederate flag merchandise. Personally, i think its a bit silly to extend that to custom made cakes, however. These aren't items that sit on a shelf on public display. I have gotten cakes from Wal-mart and other such stores. You tell them what you want, you go in later to pick it up, they bring it out from in back somewhere, show it to you, then put it in a box and you go pay for it. No one would know anything. I understand Wal-mart doesn't want to offend customers. But the problem with that is that it never ends. Someone will go find something to be offended about. In this case, Wal-mart stated that the ISIS flag should not have been made. But why? Is there a policy against it? What other symbols are on the banned list? If the ISIS flag is banned, then they should make sure employees know that. When they made the announcement that they were not going to sell items with the confederate flag on them, they sort of open themselves up to this happening. They should have just quietly implemented that policy.
