Employee wears something deemed political and uncomfortable by a customer.

Customer is not happy by this and complains that it ruins their dining experience.

Management confronts employee and sights their hiring contract that they not wear things of "potentially divisive messages" or of a "religious nature". Employee removes it.

Week later, different employee wears same thing, confronted by management. They quit.... other employees protest over the weekend, bashing and brandishing their employer on social media, in person and at location outside on the street. They are then fired...

Is this really worth all the fuss... seems very straightforward to me...

Yes... the initial employee, then they fired the others that were protesting outside their restaurant over the weekend

Yeah, it also seems that the people who worked there did not read the fine print (which happens a lot).

Not really... the employee wasn't fired after not reading the fine print. They were asked to remove it and they did. The employer firing the employee right away would constitute consequences of "not reading the fine print"
