Twisted Build-A-Bear Employee Refuses Teen’s Charlie Kirk-Inspired Wish
A woke Build-A-Bear Workshop employee in Washington state allegedly refused a teen customer’s wish to name her new teddy after slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
What started as a lighthearted trip with friends to the Southcenter Mall outside Seattle soon soured for 16-year-old Evi McCormick when the store manager shot down her request to put Kirk’s name on her newly-created stuffed animal’s birth certificate, the teen told King 5 News.
“She just didn’t agree with it. She didn’t support it and she told me, ‘We’re not doing this,’” McCormick told the outlet.
The toy tyrant then cruelly crumpled up the birth certificate, which customers are given with every Build-A-Bear purchase, and threw it away in front of the flabbergasted teen.
McCormick was so upset she handed her debit card to a friend to pay for the bear – usually priced between $16 and $48 – and walked away from the register. (Read more from “Twisted Build-A-Bear Employee Refuses Teen’s Charlie Kirk-Inspired Wish” HERE)
