Well, Lots of baked goods include lard, usually derived from pork. This is a legitimate inquiry.

[–]madzaman -1 points0 points ago

Someone's getting fired!!!!

[–]MikeStern25 4 points5 points ago

Are we sure the page she wrote to was an actual representative and not some fansite?

[–]shannontara[S] 8 points9 points ago

yeah it was the actual site. Its still up they haven't deleted it yet.

[–]MikeStern25 7 points8 points ago

Well then... They're dicks.

[–]antibread 3 points4 points ago

I guess they dont like being in business too much

[–]kirdiegirl 14 points15 points ago

This kind of makes me sad. The racist comment part, obviously. But this is probably some generational family run business who lets their dumbass grandson manage the Facebook account. How heartbreaking is it that some old business run by a sweet old couple will probably fail now because of something like that?

On the other hand, it could've been the owner that wrote that. In that case, fuck 'em.

[–]Timboflex 16 points17 points ago

Not heartbreaking at all. The company is responsible for those it puts in a position to represent them, regardless of whether it is a small family business or a giant corporation.

Also, racists aren't just born; they are a product of their environment and their upbringing. If this some grandson of a family business, his views represent his upbringing, and it is likely that these are the views of the family. Not guaranteed, but likely.

[–]shartin_spartan 0 points1 point ago

I do sales for a company that manages small business' social media, and because of this exact reason it pains me to hear, too consistently, that the owner will let his/her son/daughter/niece/etc. "handle" it for them...once they are done with school for the day...And yes, I do ask what they mean by school, and a few times it's been college, but usually it's high school. Granted, I don't think(hopefully) even younger people are this ignorant/racist, but you never know.

[–]Triptychron 0 points1 point ago

Assholes.

[–]stopthestupidcman 1 point2 points ago

What a sad human being.

[–]iwashere33 3 points4 points ago

c'mon now, i am sure that just because she is a muslim doesn't mean she isn't allowed to be happy.

[–]euroderm 2 points3 points ago

Don't mess with me, for I am Judge Mental.

[–]wackredditor 4 points5 points ago

Wow, this is so offensive I didn't think it was real.

Dick move.

[–]Predator_ 2 points3 points ago

Isn't this against Reddiquette?

[–]turabaka 0 points1 point ago

I thought reddiquette only applied to posting people's personal info. Companies are not people last I checked.

[–]cat_in_the_wall -1 points0 points ago

citzens united would suggest they are...

[–]Predator_ 0 points1 point ago

Touché!

[–]fragglerocktheboat 1 point2 points ago

I can't believe the ignorance of some people.

[–]DerelictDiety 5 points6 points ago

Right? I mean, of course theres pork in all of our ice cream. Keeps it pure for fat 'Merica.

[–]CaptainDickbag 2 points3 points ago

Don't confuse ignorance with bigotry. They knew what they were doing.

[–]Majjin 0 points1 point ago

I eat pork ice cream, it's actually quite tasty.

[–]LWAW 1 point2 points ago

That's not really racist. That's generalization, my friends! But yes, rude.

[–]moosaveenya -1 points0 points ago

I disagree. It's racist. Don't rationalize racism.

[–]Porkpants81 0 points1 point ago

Hostess apple pies have (or at least had) beef fat listed as an ingredient.

[–]teknetic 1 point2 points ago

The person who posted the question is a male, not female. The responses on the facebook page actually made me smile. Good stuff.

[–]shannontara[S] 1 point2 points ago

yeah my bad. I know of the family (its a small town) but don't know them personally. I had him confused with his sister.

[–]Porglim 1 point2 points ago

Well, in fairness she did keep mentioning 'Ur' which is located in southern Iraq.

Still, dum-bass ice cream man should brush up on geography and history.

[–]i_smoke_trees 0 points1 point ago

The posts on their page are restoring my faith in humanity.

[–]jewunit 0 points1 point ago

Reading their wall from oldest to newest is pretty funny. The flood of compliments suddenly changes into a wall of hate.

[–]blurghh 0 points1 point ago

somebody posted the yelp link....might be more useful than posting comments on their facebook page which can easily be taken down.

http://www.yelp.com/biz/wilcoxsons-ice-cream-billings

perhaps writing to the local newspaper would also be in order for someone who lives in montana?

[–]raylime 0 points1 point ago

post title says fb user is a girl.. but the persons fb profile says they're male?

[–]shannontara[S] 1 point2 points ago

(Wish I could edit the title) I know of the family (its a small town) but don't know them personally. I had him confused with his sister.

[–]Nutdip -1 points0 points ago

"judge mental" lol

[–]r1pp5t3r 1 point2 points ago

Let's give them a nice review on yelp!

[–]peaceistheword 0 points1 point ago

It's a Muslim guy, not a girl. Regardless, very, very bad taste on behalf of the employee who responded. It's still on their FB page so I am assuming the owners are probably enjoying a quiet evening and will get their shock tomorrow morning...

[–]onyxbison 0 points1 point ago

Oh look more Montana stuff.... I love living in Montana but damn reddit gives it a bad rap! XD never even heard of this food place. Might go look this up on Facebook, this comment this store left is horrible. Why would they even think she's outside of Montana if they're a business that is only in Montana? That just doesn't make sense to assume that.

[–]GoSTaRnE 0 points1 point ago

It's funny watching all of the messages come up live. (i'm normally late to the party)

[–]shannontara[S] 0 points1 point ago

Bad luck brian? Comes in JUST as mods pull post for being a screenshot. Party ends.

[–]ama1990 0 points1 point ago

im pleasantly shocked at the responses. im always impressed when people that aren't affiliated with the discriminated race or religion or ethnicity stick up for each other.

[–]vfho -2 points-1 points ago

newsflash: people can be dicks. More at 11..

[–]mrjackspade -1 points0 points ago

I came here to say this. Judge mental. That is all.

[–]charlie145 -1 points0 points ago

If my surname was 'mental' I would definitely become a Judge.

[–]DJsugaNspice -4 points-3 points ago

lmao funny and cruel at the same time. Best of both worlds

[–]_Shamrocker_ -1 points0 points ago

The thing that really pisses me off is that if they had been SDA Christian or Jewish you would be laughing and cracking jokes..
