Turns out this guy is no Sage. According to who? Sesame.
The CEO of Penzeys Spices wishes he could go back in Thyme, as people discover what a narrow-minded Paprika he is.
He’s discovering it doesn’t pay to be such a Horehound for the left. It’s best to run a company more Gingerly, and not Curry favor for people who will ream your Anise as soon as you Caraway from the plantation.

missing something?
AH there it is Story
I don’t need a link to the story. I read about this blm loving racist 2 weeks ago and told him so in an email to his company. I hope he burns in hell.
Never heard of him, or his company, but if I ever do I’ll be sure and buy something else. For all of you Trump slandering business idiots, YOU CAN NEVER WALK IT BACK. Not ever.
Best to take what he says with a grain of salt.
…just make and sell spice.
It’s your JOB.
the people who require YOU to do YOUR job so THEY don’t lose THEIRS will THANK you for it.
…and I bet some of THEM are Black TOO, so maybe don’t do stupid things that get them laid off, just sayin’…
It seems he segregates his peppers by race:

https://www.penzeys.com/online-catalog/white-pepper-coarse/c-24/p-1106/pd-s
AND…He has way more BLACK pepper offerings than WHITE.
RACIST!!!!!
…here’s a SMALL section of a spice aisle in just ONE store.

…it’s not hard to find a work-around for spice, and bear in mind that BLM types aren’t the ones most likely to have a use for your product.
Idiot.
…so to make him mad, tell him you’re keeping his product in HERE…

The spice must flow.

Black folks like me LOVE hot sauce!

I remember my aunt had a set of those shakers.
And her neighbor had one of these lawn jockeys:

I don’t recall her being racist. In fact, our grandfather was friends with an ex slave who lived down the road. The stories I heard was he drove the gentleman to the doctor when he was sick and defended him by standing on his porch with him holding a shotgun to fend off some racists who were tormenting him.
I like your spicey if – 𝙥𝙪𝙣gent – references.
Rosemary is grateful, which is part and parsely of a good dish.

If the guy survives this he’ll be a seasoned veteran…
He makes a lot of basiless claims.
From a friend…”one day I got a letter telling me if I supported Trump, they no longer wanted my business.”
Stumbled onto a discussion about Penzey’s on a foodie blog; seems the manchild who took over the business from Mom and Dad not only alienates customers, he has also alienated his siblings.
One sister opened a rival business called the Spice House. When interviewed, she said her customers’ political views are none of her business.
Manchild is a kook and deserves to go under while his sister should be a knockout seller imho.
“If you believe in vaccines, all the goodness set in motion each time we say Black Lives Matter, and knocking on every door possible before 11.8.22 to turn out every last vote to save our democracy, we would be better off with you on our mailing list.”
Huh. When did we become a democracy?
Puns are the lowest form of humor. Unless you thought of it first.
Here’s the sister’s site…

Sounds like the CEO created a hot mess for himself. BTW, I never heard of the company, but, I will remember the name and not purchase any of their products. I’m pretty much a garlic/salt/pepper cook. Simple ingredients.
Ha! I read this story this weekend and the jerk is now begging his remaining customers to buy a “stack of” gift cards to offset the loss of customers. He actually wrote that appeal! I say, go right ahead woketards! Throw good money after bad!
In the long line of oddities that trigger woke business owners, we seem to be getting closer. Isn’t tea in the spice aisle?
@Odin — “Our democracy” is the Left’s latest offering in their game of capture the flag. You see, what they mean (because they never say what they really mean) is that all “our” America are belong to them. It’s a key part of the ongoing blah, blah, blah, that Constitution lovers are really J-6 insurrectionists trying to take over “Our democracy.” They started using this piece of propaganda about 8-10 months ago.
I’d be saffron if it weren’t for spices.
Do your part.

Another one bites the dust…. Won’t purchase for myself or gifts. Who do these people think they are talking to? Money talks, that’s something they will understand. Bye bye Penzey’s. Get woke, go broke.
When JFK said it 62 years ago he Curryed much favor with many voters. Who Gingerly voted for him. Resulting in JFK being Carwayed to 1600!
Maybe this smear only works for “Deep State” folk?
I am old
“Rosemary is grateful, which is part and parsely of a good dish.
(If Raymond Burr attacks this as GAY, I’m going to war!)”
Both of you get a room…geez!! JK! 🙂
Chuckie, Burr currently runs the Human Relations department, which is GAY! There are no rooms available there because they’re filled with GAY people.
They hate it when you fill a shopping cart with $$$ of products, then never check out.
If we racists bother him so much, I suggest he distract himself by grinding habaneros and scotch bonnets with his ass cheeks
What is all this gay talk on the thread about? You fellers…..you fellers are a couple of …a couple of…..dirty dawgs or something.
Burr,
Look down. Are you wearing white socks with tennis shoes?
Not the first time for this fool….

This is when I quit buying the brand. Too bad cuz it’s a good product
:general shuffling of chairs, coughs:
HR Director: Thank you all for attending, Norm from the Chancellors office is here to adjudicate. Lord Hat won’t be attending this meeting as he’s dealing with some asset issues that directly affect the entire corporation. But he sends his regards. Presumably.
Now, before we begin, and let me just state for the record that it’s always a pleasure to see Mr. Burr and General Malaise, but let me just state that the reason this meeting was called for was because Mr. Burr had some concerns and wanted to address these issues with as many people present so as to alleviate any unfortunate interactions in the future.
Is this correct Mr. Burr?
Me: “TONY LAMA BOOTS ARE FUKKIN’ GAY”
HRD: Clears throat. We’ll get to that but right now lets focus on the post that General Malaise sent to you.
Me: lights smoke, “Yeah, sure.”
General Malaise: “What is this about?”
HRD: O.K. this seems like a good place to start. Here’s a copy of the post General Malaise sent to Mr. Burr. Would anyone care to read it out loud?
Me: “Yeah, I W..”
HRD: No, no….that’s alright Mr. Burr. Norm? Would you care to step in here?
Norm: Thanks Claire. Here goes. Ahem… “Burr loves Cumin!”
Uncomfortable silence envelops room.
HRD: Wow. O.K. I can see the problem…but what’s important is that General Malaise understand the issue here. Anyone have a suggestion?
Me: YEAH! He F..”
HRD: Not now Mr. Burr, please. We’re trying to resolve this as painlessly as possible.
Me: sighs, pulls out Racing Forum, begins handicapping the days races”
Chelsea the intern: Raises hand
HRD: Yes Chelsea? You see the problem with this joke?
Chelsea: It’s…. um…. it’s open ended?
HRD: Exactly. It’s open ended. This sort of joke leads itself wide open to some pretty savage retorts…..:shuffles papers: …and I see Mr. Burr submitted 17 different options…
Me: “Yeah, Burr likes cumin’ all over..”
HRD: Mr Burr, please.
Me: rolls eyes. Goes back to paper:
Norm: The issue isn’t how funny the retorts were…and yes….they were pretty damn funny. The issue is that General Malaise set himself up….unknowingly.
HRD: That doesn’t seem fair. Perhaps some remedial counseling could bring the good General up to speed?
Me: “BURR LIKE CUMIN ALL OVER…”
HRD: Mr. Burr. We get it. Let’s just move on.
Norm: I say we break for lunch.
Me: I HOPE YOU ALL LIKE THE TASTE OF C..”
Norm: “Honestly. I have budget numbers to review.”
HRD: “Well if that’s all for today I hope we’ve reached a better understanding and can avoid unfortunate incidents in the fu..”
Me: “HIS MOM LOVES THE TASTE OF MY C..”
HRD: Norm, could you page Mark at the security desk?
(The HRC meeting resumes after a tasty lunch…)
HRD: “Well, I hope you’re all refreshed from lunch! And thank you all for wearing your masks at this meeting. It’s important we all maintain each other’s health. Let’s continue… First of all, things are comin’ along…”
Burr: “I’m bettin’ HE had it – Cumin in his lunch!”
GM: “Your honor, I object. Mr. Burr is…”
HRD: “General… Marmalade, is it? This isn’t a Perry Mason courtroom! Objecting itself is overruled. You can talk to Raymond normally here.”
GM: “It’s Malaise, Ma’am. Not Marmalade. I’m sorry, it’s confusing. But his comment left a bad taste in my mouth. I’m confused…”
Burr: “Oh, please. Your original message was incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial, not to mention in bad taste!”
GM: “(Halted chuckle) “Well, I’m not sure that’s possible considering your girth, but you have to believe that I was just reminding everyone of your love of Curry. Really.”
Burr: “Ann Curry of CBS news? What the… You’re nuts!”
GM: “No, no, no. Not that Curry! The f l a v o r Curry. You know, made from Turmeric, Chili powder, Mustard, Cardamom… and especially Cumin.”
Burr: “Well, THAT’s just GAY! Everyone knows I hate Curry. Especially Cumin. Yuk! You’re just trying to cover your tracks with a spice story!”
GM: “Cumin … in your mouth. Well, then I stand corrected because I really thought you loved Cumin.”
Burr: “That’s just GAY. You know what’s really GAY?”
Burr: “General, do you? General?”
Burr: “Anyone here know what’s really GAY?”
HRD: “ANAL SEX.”
Burr: “It’s interesting you know that.”
Norm: “And she likes COCK.”
Typical. I’m the one who has to stay late writing apology notes to all the sponsors.
I didn’t even write the damn joke.
I tried Penzey’s a long time ago. It didn’t give me the ability to fold space, so I never used it again. With good spice, you can fold space in order to time travel. Still looking…
Fur, you had fun with that, didn’t you? LOL
