“Goodbye Kroger,” the post read in all capital letters. “Boycott. Boycott. Boycott.” 

The post contained no links to substantiate the claim, but that didn’t stop it from being shared more than 50,000 times.

The author did not respond to a request for comment on where she got the information, but here’s what the USA TODAY found. 

The company, which owns a multitude of grocery store chains including Fred Meyers, Harris Teeter, Ralphs and Food 4 Less, does not allow its employees to wear any clothing or face masks with visible pictures or logos. That means no T-shirts or face masks in support of Black Lives Matter.

But Kroger said in a statement that its dress code wasn’t up for debate.
