It wasnt so much that she was supporting Hillary Clinton, it was the fact that she was doing it while in work uniform. You have to realize when your'e in uniform you need to be very careful of your words and actions because it can and does reflect onto the rest of the company.
It reminds of when a woman who was going through EMT training with me and there was an anti-immigration protest here in town. She stood at the corner of the main intersection in her Student-EMT uniform and held a poster up that read 'Stop the browning of America'. The picture was on the front page of the local newspaper and needless to say the next day the instructor told her to hand in her stuff, she was now excused from the course and was not allowed to sit for the National Registry examination. I did not feel sorry for her instead I only offered a 'You should have thought of that before you acted.' While other citizens protested and were not fired or arrested, they did so because they were off the clock, out of uniform and made sure their poster was not offensive or racist.
Thats the same with this woman, she was not a private citizen at the time because she was still within her shift hours and still in uniform - she wasn't Bubblegum Betty, she was a waitress for the company. Even more childish is the fact that she actually contacted the Clinton campaign. Yeah right - that is the last thing on their agenda to hear this woman's sob story that she lost her job for protesting a presidential candidate on the clock.
