A Traders Joe's store in Seattle has been closed temporarily, and some workers says it's related to employees' support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Some employees at the store believe the store's abrupt closure on the day that dozens of its workers protested in solidarity with Black Lives Matter was a deliberate retaliation from the company.

But Trader Joe's spokesperson Kenya Friend-Daniel told ABC News in a statement Monday that they closed the Capitol Hill location early last Friday due to the lack of crew members and that it will only be a temporary closure.Protesters silently march up 23rd Avenue South in Seattle, Washington on June 12, 2020.

TJs should make a statement because that seems very unlikely.

Yes. Because the rioters have taken over the city, police can't help, citizens are scared, and the Mayor is in la la land talking about a summer of love. WHERE'S the Governor?!

Its the stores choice politics should be out of the store as that could break out in Specially in the very charged issue of BLM ?

Well that isn't in line with what they say (emphasis on 'say') they support on their Instagram page.

What a misleading headline. They’re all still getting paid and the store will reopen in two weeks. Did read the article before they wrote the headline?

More likely related to the entire staff taking the same day off, but you do you

BPP

В это тяжело поверить

I'm sure it will 'mysteriously' burn down very very soon. And, I boldly predict that the perpetrators will not be prosecuted.

Thats a place of business not a place of demonstration.

Boy these comments in here!!

We tried so hard for many days to be heard by the authorities.. Another exam was held yesterday and after that we learnt that some students had tested positive for Covid-19. The upcoming exams during this new spike should be postponed ! TurkishStudentLivesMatter

Another one bites the dust... no freedom for any business

It's their store. They can do whatever the fuck they want with it. They can close to perform satanic rituals on bananas if they want.

IRAN,Venezuela & the Taliban are to blame

Lol im sure thats why

If you are not happy, open your own stores.

Did a child write your headline?

Good close it down for good, and every store within five miles of the neighborhood. That will show corporate America where the power lies
