fake as shit.

anyone who has ever bought a cake from anywhere knows they show you exactly what the cake looks like before you even take it from the bakery so that it is exactly as you expected before you pay for it. they take it out of the box or show it to you BEFORE they put it in the box. at the very least, they will open the top for you so you can inspect it.

Yeap. You always inspect the cake to make sure it's even the right cake, etc. The whole paying process is your agreement that this is the product I ordered. This pastor... smh.

How was he humiliated by a cake that no one else saw? He drove right home, and took video of the cake.

lol good point. if he never posted it to social media, nobody else would have ever known about it, except the imaginary employees he is claiming wrote it on the cake.

I hope the cake is still available for evidence. A little chromatography to prove the dye isn't the exact same, and the guy should be charged with whatever the equivalent of libel/slander is in this case.

Some have a cafeteria with humongous salad bar where you pay by the pound.

Yeah I'm not sure what you would call it. It's pay by the pound here no matter what you get. I usually get one scoop of everything for the ultimate sampler pack 😀
 
NBC still has the footage.

In a counter-suit, Whole Foods Market Rocky Mountains/Southwest, which operates the store, disputed that an employee wrote any slur on the cake, reported NBC affiliate KXAN. The company said it is seeking at least $100,000 in damages, sanctions against Kaplan, and a jury trial.

Pastor Jordan Brown takes a moment to compose himself as he is overcome with emotion during a press conference as he speaks about how he felt when he saw a gay slur on a cake he says had ordered from Whole Foods on April 18 in Austin, Texas. Ricardo B. Brazziell / Zuma Press

The label changing position is pretty damning...
 
lol from the footage it's clear as shit that the label is on the top part going over the edge closest to his body. slow the speed down to 0.25 and look right around the 5 second mark. you can clearly see a label in a few of the frames. and that label is clearly not on the top of the box in his video. man oh man this is going to be hilarious how his plan backfired.

this reminds me of thread backfires on this forum.

The case of the chocolate cake slur, it seems, was simply a hoax.

An openly gay Texas pastor who had accused Whole Foods of defacing his cake with an anti-gay slur dropped his lawsuit against the grocery chain on Monday, issuing an apology that said he was wrong to “perpetuate this story.”


“The company did nothing wrong,” the pastor, Jordan Brown, said in a statement. “I was wrong to pursue this matter and use the media to perpetuate this story.”

I hope that isn't the end of it. I wanted to see Whole Foods drag that scumbag through the courts and bankrupt him and whatever church he claims to lead. Too bad they backed off.

Did the guy actually get around to filing the lawsuit against Whole Foods or did he just threaten to do it? If he filed suit he could get nailed for perjury.
