Fine, good. But companies always make it sound like “Bad Employee”. Someone hired this person to manage one of their stores. Training, investment, etc in the person based on the assumption they had some level of common sense. Then the person pulls a stunt like this and throws shade on the whole corporation.
Employees should be fired for sure, including the one that hired this idiot.
If the company is doing its job when training “management”, this scenario was covered well & the shift “manager” knew this would backfire.
I’m guessing the company is more concerned with training management to be sensitive to the alphabet soup grievance groups and didn’t give damn about this kind of behavior towards normal people.
Easier to just apologize to conservatives - they know we won’t burn the building down like the kook lefties.
Side note, it’s been nearly 50 years since I worked in food service, but I’m guessing a “shift manager” makes a pittance more an hour more than the grunts. I was the night manager at Rollins College (Winter Park, FL) student cafeteria in the early 70s and made 15¢ more an hour than the people I supervised. I was of course a heck of a lot more responsible than some of these twerps.
You would think that all corporations would train all employees that they leave politics out of the office and that the political views of their customers is none of their business.
Take a controversial political stand and you are going to tick off half of your customers, at least.
Just how will this follow the now ex-manager around in future hiring possibilities?
