In Kewaskum, Wisconsin, a Dairy Queen restaurant’s front window featured a note that garnered attention and is currently trending online. The sign makes no bones about the restaurant’s political incorrectness; it also highlights the fact that it employs holiday greetings like “Merry Christmas,” “Happy Easter,” and “God Bless America” a lot. Moreover, it provides support for the
In appreciation for their military service, they receive free sundaes, the US flag, and words of gratitude on Veterans Day.
The restaurant’s owner, Kevin Scheunemann, justified the sign by stating that it was put up nearly four years ago to be transparent about his and the staff’s dedication to serving God and the nation. Scheunemann says he put up the notice in response to a customer’s complaint over the restaurant’s playing of Christian music. Since then, there have been no further issues with the sign.
After an Oregonian visitor posted a picture of the sign on Facebook and expressed concerns about its alleged exclusivity, the sign has garnered further attention recently. There was a lot of attention to the first post before it was removed.
Some people agree with the sign’s message, while others have taken offense at the person who shared the image and offered their opinions. Local company owners, however, support Scheunemann’s right to put up the sign and say that customers are free to leave the restaurant if they disagree with its principles.
The sign is taken at its value by the people of Kewaskum, a tiny town, who read it as the owner’s statement of beliefs. Officially, Scheunemann’s approach is not endorsed by the company, according to Dairy Queen, and the sign just conveys the owner’s viewpoints. The company stated that its franchisees and staff are required to serve all customers with dignity and respect, regardless of their religious beliefs.
