A front desk supervisor at a Florida hotel was fired recently when he refused managementâs request to remove the American flag pin he was wearing, news4jax.com reports.
Sean May, 26, an employee at Casa Monica Hotel in St. Augustine, Fla., has been wearing an American flag pin to work every day for the last two years. Last week, he was told to remove the pin because it violates company policy.
âIâve actually gotten probably more compliments about it than any of the service Iâve actually done at the hotel, which is an interesting concept,â May told the station.
May said Casa Monica recently had a change in command at the corporate level and is trying to revamp its image.
A spokesperson for the hotel released this statement: âCasa Monica has always had the personal appearance guidelines, and they are currently being enforced.â

Stand outside the hotel with a big sign that states why he was fired. Problem solved.

Something like this happened awhile back, but it was Walmart or Lowes that wanted it taken off. They gave their reason as they didn't allow anything to be worn on the vest, except the store tags.

^ I have seen a Walmart employee with a 100 pins on their blue vest as his displayed collection.

If he was wearing a Mexican flag pin and was told to take it off, this would be considered an outrage and the top story on CNN. It's a shame.

I can see why his management told him to take it off...uniformity and all that, I understand it..
But jeez, it's just an American flag pin, and he had been wearing it for quite a while. Just let him keep it on...no need to be firing people over stuff like that, especially in the state our county is in and the fact that he had worked there for more than a year. You already know he's a good employee, so just work with him on the situation and compromise.
