Upscale grocer Whole Foods Market is not allowing its workers to wear poppies in its Canadian stores this month, saying its dress code policy restricts workers from making even the smallest addition.
“With the exception of those items required by law, our dress code policy prohibits any additions to our standard uniform,” a company spokesperson told CP24 of the news which was first reported by the CBC.
“Whole Foods Market honours the men and women who have and continue to bravely serve their country. We support Remembrance Day in all of our Canadian stores by observing a moment of silence on November 11th and by donating to the Legion's Poppy Campaign,” the spokesperson said.
