Metro replaces Star of David

This week a Metro grocery store in Westmount removed and subsequently replaced a star of David hanging over an aisle of Kosher foods.

 

On Sunday, a customer complained that religious symbols have no place in the supermarket. They then took a photograph of the offensive Star and sent it to Montreal media groups.

 

The head office of Metro ordered the store manager to remove the symbol. After dozens of angry calls from customers, the Star of David has been put back in place.

 

The store has been using the symbol for 10 years during passover. The Star of David now hangs proudly over matzah, kosher chicken soup and latkes.
