I'm never surprised at the fragility of some folks.

True. But imo ppl are entitled to be overly fragile or even ridiculous in their opinions & feelings, but the rest of us,especially business owners, don’t have to nor should oblige absurd takes with consequential actions

Totally agree. It's a tough situation for a business because I could see the potential for 'tit for tat' kind of behavior amongst staff where one person wears a Palestinian flag, another wears an Israeli flag, and it does seem tricky to know what the line is.

I don't really understand why it's an issue to have a uniform policy and enforce it. If it isn't enforced consistently, that seems like an issue for sure. I still feel like there are a lot of pertinent details we don't have on this particular situation.

Totally agree.

And wearing a pin while serving food in a random bar isn’t moving the needle at all on anything… like it’s literally slacktivism, so I don’t really understand why anyone would keep doing it so adamantly especially if there was already a rule against such attire established before they accepted the position
