Sooo like all of these companies have rules that state clearly you cant make political statements on your uniform while at work.
And i was all ready to be like "well fair is fair"
But if these corporations are publiclly supporting political movements, their employees should be able to do this. ESPECIALLY IF IT IS THE SAME MESSAGE

This sounds like it was a dispute between him and his manager in which the manager said if you walk out you're fired and he walked out

I don't think any companies allow their employees or other representatives to endorse political parties, candidates or movements while in uniform or otherwise identifying themselves as a representative of the company.

At least the last three companies I've worked for didn't.

That said, termination is overkill.

Good, fuck them.
~Fuck all corporate board room decisions.

That's generally a bunch old highly paid sheltered white dudes, and their daddy issues blond white woman, making decisions about a perfect world that only exists in their head.

Fuck those people.

Just because a company makes a statement doesnt mean employees are aloud too.

IMO the manager was on some petty bullshit, but we've all been there and we all know if you walk out you're gonna be fired. That's just how that works

They cant let him wear a mask like that. If they allow it then they have to allow other political statements. Let him wear the BLM mask then you cant stop the next employee from wearing a MAGA one.

Taco Bell looked weak for apologizing. This guy was clearly being disruptive, unprofessional, and not following company policy.

I don't go to taco bell for quality mexican food.

I go there to wallow in a pool of self pity and melted cheese.

I can't get that with authentic mexican/texmex food

Yes it is.

But if you really want to argue the point, then you have to let the next guy wear an All Lives Matter, or a Blue Lives Matter or any other message.

Its a strong enough message to have people either flock to or boycott a fast food place like taco bell so the message can indeed be poltical
