A note scribbled on the front window of a Dairy Queen restaurant in Kewaskum, Wisconsin, has garnered attention and is currently trending online.
The restaurant’s political incorrectness is prominently displayed on the sign, which also highlights the fact that it routinely employs holiday greetings such as “Merry Christmas,” “Happy Easter,” and “God Bless America.” Moreover, it shows support for the
On Veterans Day, they receive free sundaes, the US flag, and words of gratitude for their military service.
Kevin Scheunemann, the restaurant’s owner, defended the placard, claiming it was put up nearly four years ago to be honest about his and the staff’s devotion to serving God and nation. Scheunemann claims he displayed the warning in response to a patron’s complaint about Christian music being played in the restaurant. The sign has not caused any further issues after then.
A tourist from Oregon recently shared a photo of the sign on Facebook, raising concerns about the message’s apparent exclusivity. Prior to its removal, the initial post got a lot of attention.
While some people support the sign’s message, others have taken offense at the person who shared the photo and stated their opinions. Local business owners, on the other hand, support Scheunemann’s decision to put the sign, claiming that patrons have the right to leave the restaurant if they disagree with its policies.
Residents of Kewaskum, a tiny town, appear to accept the sign at face value and understand it as the owner’s expression of beliefs. Officially, Dairy Queen stated that Scheunemann’s strategy is not supported by the corporate and that the sign only displays the ideas of one proprietor. The company stated that regardless of a customer’s religious beliefs, all franchisees and workers are obliged to treat them with respect and dignity.
