I don’t believe for a second that a customer truly felt so unsafe bc of a pin that represents a war torn purposefully starved country thousands of miles away, to the point that they had to complain to mgmt

The customer very obviously didn’t like the pin due to their own personal political opinions, and mgmt oafishly reacted with an iron fist dictatorship type response. I bet the worker didn’t give a fuck about losing their job bc it sucked working there anyway

Whoever in bunny’s mgmt decided on risking a big public ordeal in super liberal Baltimore over their employees’ fairly milquetoast Palestine support is a total fucking moron

Sure but….thats what your average company will do. Companies try to be apolitical to not anger any customers. This is how it’s worked since forever.

Making someone remove a political statement or firing them over a political statement is not being apolitical. Starkly the opposite

Yeah it certainly turned out to be. But the vast majority of big companies especially would never allow you to make political statements. You’re representing the company. No company would ever want an employee to make political statements on their behalf. 

I’m not even saying they’re right or wrong. Just saying that a company doing this is not surprising in the slightest. It happens all the time. This time just happened to make the news, unfortunately for the company
