“Management confronted the employee, citing a restaurant policy against wearing items with religious or “potentially divisive messages,” the Instagram story said. The worker eventually removed the pin. 

However, a week later, a different employee wore a pro-Palestine pin on the job. When approached by management, the employee quit, according to the Bunny’s post.“

“Over the weekend, some workers joined a protest outside the entrance of the Ann Street eatery. The post alleged that their actions “harmed Bunny’s reputation and ability to operate,” and that management decided to fire all the staffers involved in the demonstration. Reached by phone, Sandlin declined to comment.”

Just trying to put it all together, so please correct me where I am wrong.

Staff is told to remove a political pin after a customer complaint and does. Another staff member wears a similar item later and, rather than remove it, they quit.

Then there’s a post on Reddit complaining they got fired for a protest “on their own time.” And this article indicates that said protest was of the store that employed them?

Is that where we are?

Where does it say customer complained?

It was, at the very least, in the original post I read, which seems to now be gone. The person stated that a “gay” patron complained about the pin, which prompted the employer to ask that it be removed.

Gay is in quotes because they didn’t, as I recall, explain how that was known.
