Burger King has terminated an employee at its Breinigsville, Pennsylvania location following an exchange with a customer that was recorded and shared widely on social media, triggering a polarized debate about political speech in customer service settings.

I was expecting the customer to have done something to start the exchange. I mean, she’s not wrong, but I don’t know what she was expecting to happen.
Thank you, Ariana, for having the conviction to speak truth to power.
“Power” being a random customer because she saw him wearing a star of david.
“Power” being absurd level of support Israel had gotten for their murderous rampage from people with FAR more money than decency (the lack thereof likely being how they got said money).
Fair enough, but no one is going to be resolving conflict in the Middle East at the checkout counter of a Burger King in Bumfuck, USA. There are appropriate times and places for these conversations. This was neither, especially since the only thing the customer apparently did to piss off the cashier was wear a Star of David necklace. I think the people of the Abrahamic faiths have ruined this country and are in the process of fucking the rest of the planet, but I don’t start screeching at every person I see in public wearing a necklace depicting the Cross, Star of David, or Crescent Moon and Star. You’re not going to convince anyone of anything in those situations other than convincing people you’re just an angry asshole.
