Maple Donuts flies pro-Donald Trump flag; earns ire of some customers
Maple Donuts is stirring attention beyond its scrummy Caramel Sea Salt donut.
Some of its customers are taking objection to the fact that at least one store in the popular York County chain is flying a flag that bears the Donald Trump slogan 'Make America Great Again.'
A worker at the Newberry Commons Shopping Center store said the flag might have gone up some time this week. To be sure, a portion of the customer base approves. The worker said he had not notice reaction from customers to the flag, which flies below the American flag on the flagpole outside the store.
But the donut chain is getting traction on its Facebook page from customers objecting to the addition of Trump rhetoric to their coffee and donuts fix. Customers have threatened to take their business elsewhere until the store takes down the flag.
Trump, the GOP presidential nominee, has made the slogan - "Make America Great Again" - a focal point of his campaign. The slogan appears on campaign T-shirts, baseball caps, buttons and posters, among other memorabilia.
