In reply to the discussion: My recent retail experience [View all]MichMan
(11,910 posts)28. My question wasn't regarding whether it was appropriate or not.
Would you report someone for expressing political views in a retail environment only if you disagree with their viewpoint?
Suppose the previous customer agreed with them and encouraged their comments making them think it was OK?
Let me put it another way. You walk in and your overhear employees discussing between themselves Jan 6 and how Trump should be in jail. You like what you hear and tell them how right they are, you appreciate their views, and will shop there more often. The next person coming in hears it, makes a complaint, and they get fired.
Of course, you wouldn't know they got fired, but rhetorically speaking, should you feel at all responsible ?

I suspect the issue was addressed. A couple of years ago, I went into a White Castle.

I think they did. Politics of any kind is frowned upon in majority of businesses.

Sounds like she did. Check it out (take a browse around the store) and let us know.
