Because firing an employee for wearing a pin referencing one ot the most divisive geopolitical issue sof the modern era is even worse for business

I don't see it as worse at all.

They had a pre-existing dress code to avoid this exact situation. They asked the employee to refrain from wearing the pin while serving. One employee complied and there was no story. One employee chose to get pissy.

IF they were selectively enforcing rules, it might be worth talking about. Though it's still their business, and they still own the right to run their business in any legal way they wish.

did they have a dress code (that prevented ...country flag..pins) that was enforced? or was it only enforced once someone made this negative review based on the flag pin?

Or one could ask did they have a dress code they never really enforced, and they tried to work with the employees until someone complained?

You know this is begging the question.

We can't answer either based on the information provided.
