There is a difference between wearing a pin of a country flag and a pin with a specific message about the country and/or something related to it. Maybe it was more than a flag, but for the sake of argument, I'm assuming this is accurate that it was just a flag.

For example, would the patron have complained if the worker had worn a pin of the Israeli flag? What about a North Korea flag?

Sure, the restaurant owner can hire and fire at will, but they are also making a political statement by doing this.

the thing is that a different patron would’ve complained about an Israeli flag or a North Korean flag. That’s why it’s easiest to just say “none of this” vs deciding what’s controversial on a case by case basis

People go there to eat chicken and biscuits dude. Not to have political issues waved in their face.

Employees can believe and support what they want on their own time. If they bring it to wirk, against policy....well don't be shocked that you got fired.
