Grocery store employee's KKK attire shocks Gold Bar

GOLD BAR — Gold Bar’s mayor criticized a local grocery store Tuesday, after patrons raised concerns about an armed employee wearing a Ku Klux Klan shirt.

Photos of the Gold Bar Family Grocer employee bagging groceries — armed with a holstered gun and wearing KKK insignia — went viral on Facebook among local residents and business owners.

Meanwhile, store ownership had not confirmed if the employee had been fired.

“I believe the store owners should answer to how this was allowed to happen. No one should feel intimidated going to the local grocery store,” Mayor Steven Yarbrough wrote in an email Tuesday to The Daily Herald. “This is not representative of our city, I am thankful to the citizens who brought this to the community’s attention.”
