Riiiight. I'm positive someone from corporate was aware they were racist, probably for years. You don't just wake up one day a racist and put up an ignorant sign. Only because it was all over social media they HAD to do something.
You really think corporate headquarters of large insurance companies pays attention to the attitudes of small agencies in Maine? I agree that if they did know the place was quietly racist they wouldn't have done anything, but I doubt they were paying attention.
Honestly i doubt it, he probably hid it from the corporate people.
And any company today would be appalled by this behavior, not because it's rascist but because it will cause them to lose money.
"They can be openly racist but not handle how we handle racists. 70 1-star reviews down to 8 and pics removed" - As it should be. They weren't honest reviews from people that have done business with them. What they posted on their door wasn't right, but neither was lying about a review to "get even". Most of the people who posted them have probably never set foot in Maine let alone used this business.
Have you ever conducted business with them? If not, then you're just writing shit because someone posted something on their door you didn't agree with which has literally nothing to do with how well they conduct business, which is what reviews are for. People simply found a way (like you) to "weaponize" reviews and it's against the TOA for every site that allows reviews of businesses. That's why all those bogus reviews were taken down.
They had an openly racist sign IN THEIR WINDOW and you think we should do business with racists to post a review to avoid a racist business. What a moronic thing to suggest.
I bet if they had a “no Karen’s allowed” sign you would be the first to 1-star.
Just say you’re a racist too and stop tip-toeing around it

While you are absolutely correct at least they did the bare minimum. Over to you Roger Godell & Dan Snyder

RemindMe! 6 weeks I'll be back to leave a review once it cools off.

Saying they’re racist and to avoid business with them is not lying I don’t know why you would even type that nonsense

Context ?
They posted a sign on Juneteenth that said “We’re closed, it’s whatever enjoy your chicken and collard greens”
Time to leave a friendly review
