Woman finds a Nazi symbol in her chicken sandwich.

In which case you fire him for using the worst possible method to wish a customer good luck, short of chopping off a rabbit's foot in front of them.

I understand that you might want to automatically support someone who uses a Swastika, but it's really inexcusable in this case.

Why is it bad? It is a symbol of good luck. The swastika is an innocent symbol. Would the lady also complain if there was a smiley face on her bun?

The swastika hasn't been an innocent symbol since the 1930s. You know that, everyone knows that. It's perhaps regrettable but the Nazis ruined it for everyone.

[Abserdia]

Swastika =/= Nazi symbol, even then it was pretty funny, and most certainly not something someone should get fired over in the slightest.

But the problem is that there are jewish people who work there or eat there, and if they saw a Swastika in a bun, they would sue them in an instant.
Im not saying that the girl who got it was jewish, i'm just saying that if this becomes wide spread... places like Mcdonalds or Burger king will go out of buisness because they lost about more then a dozen thousand customers.

[Great Kleomentia]

They work at McDonald's do you really judge society based on McDonald's employees?

Of course not. Where did you get that idea? I haven't said anything about society.

Swastika =/= Nazi symbol,

Yes it is.

even then it was pretty funny,

No it wasn't.

and most certainly not something someone should get fired over in the slightest.

It absolutely was a firing offence.

So that's 0/3.

That's hardly a firing offence. Unless they have a strict no butter policy.
The Swastika is praised as a symbol of unity, peace and many other things among different culture. It has been used by Nazi Germany the least, compared to other cultures. So no, the Swastika does not represent Nazism. Whether it was funny or not depends on the person. I don't find it particularly humorous, but someone else might and that's ok.

Yeah maybe you should read up on the swastika cause you clearly don't know what you're talking about

I'm well aware that it has been used by various other people before the Nazis. None the less it is a Nazis symbol, because they Nazis used it, and everyone knows the Nazis used it.

[Louis Blackwell]

Clearly, it's a sign from god.

No its obviously Hitler speaking from the other side.

Are you honestly saying that the first thing an average person would think of when shown a swastika is not Nazi Germany? You can say that with a straight face?

The first thing i think of when i see a swastika is Pan-Slavism, actually.

Depends where they are from IMO, westerners will always think of National Socialism but someone from say, India might think of it's other meanings first.

Not true, it is still common to see on Asian temples.

Why would I back anything up when what I am deny was not itself backed up? What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Farnhamia doesn't actually control the US education system. Though not for want of trying.

Old ones. I daresay that there might be some hesitation these days about the symbol. Anyway, we're talking about North Carolina, not Uttar Pradesh. In a Western context, you're wrong, that kid was a twit and firing him was perfectly justifiable.

But the problem is that there are jewish people who work there or eat there, and if they saw a Swastika in a bun, they would sue them in an instant.

This is in North Carolina not New York. Not many Jews in North Carolina. The woman was Christian but she still felt offended.

Sue for what? It is freedom of speech and not a health hazard. She could sue if the swastika was made of fecal matter.

[Great Kleomentia]

I just love how very well you attempt to back up your argument. Your acting fairly ignorant at this point. Since the Swastika and Kolovrat(double swastika) are part of Slavic culture, i would personally feel somewhat offended by someone calling it a Nazi symbol. German culture has actually the least to do with the Swastika, hence the Swastika is a Nazi symbol last and a symbol of peace and unity first.

Sue over the hostile work environment. Free speech protects you from government action, not from being fired.

So? It's use by the Nazis should not suddenly mean it can't be used for ever after. If people want to hang onto to the past then that should not be everyone's burden.
