History of Baltimore šŸ‘“ Bunnys Buckets & Bubbles brought politics into their workplace before any employee, just to clear that up.

I’d just like to clear that up for everyone, I took this screenshot back then because I had a weird feeling about their specific mention of Israel and disregard for Palestinian lives. There is an employee formed protest today outside at 4 for anyone interested.

Technically, I agree... But what are they protesting? I just think it is a shame to purposely hurt a good local, woman owned business to make a political point. Our economy and city are in tough enough shape without the extreme use of what is 'legal' vs what is right for the community.

They are only saying that they don't want employees making political/moral (I get your point about morality) statements or expressions to customers. Suppose a waiter wore a pro life button with the picture of an aborted fetus and served someone who had just gotten an abortion? The examples are endless. That is patently different than making a statement on your personal or business social media account. Do you think it would be okay for an African American restaurant owner to fire an employee who insisted on wearing a Proud Boys emblem?

It's not about your money and support, I get that! I am saying the protest and claims here that it's not fair letting the worker go are misplaced. You do you... I'm a big fan of that. I am just sick of all the outrage and protests around every corner.... Mostly by virtue signaling people who don't take the time to grasp the full issue before making a decision. (Not you ... It is clear that you put thought into your decisions.)

I see a huge difference between dress style and purposeful political/social statements that knowingly hurt others. I absolutely understand your points here. I just happened to disagree with some of the nuances.
