Jimmy John’s Workers Make Noose Out of Dough, Stage Mock Lynching

Sandwich chain Jimmy John’s fired workers at a Georgia franchise after they fashioned a noose from bread dough and staged a mock lynching on the Fourth of July, TMZ reported.

Video shows someone hanging the noose around a white worker’s neck to laughter.

The sandwich chain tweeted Monday that the franchise owner in Woodstock had fired everyone involved. Four employees were dismissed, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

“The actions seen in the video are absolutely unacceptable and do not represent the Jimmy John’s brand or the local franchise ownership team,” Jimmy John’s wrote.

In Woodstock, GA at a Jimmy Johns, some white employees made a noose, look at the DETAILS in the damn noose dough that’s used for sandwiches. Crazy. They done this before…. pic.twitter.com/HylIMFvxxF
