She wore a BLM mask to work at Whataburger. After a customer complained, she was fired.

when the Black 19-year-old returned to work the following Monday, a White customer threatened to call the hamburger chain’s corporate office over the mask, prompting a chain of events that led Congious’s managers to fire her and call the police on their own employee.

The managers and owners being challenged, meanwhile, say they are trying to enforce consistent policies and keep politics out of their schools and stores.

“If we allow any non-Whataburger slogans as part of our uniforms, we have to allow all slogans,” the company said in a statement to KDFW on Wednesday. “This could create tension and conflict among our employees and our customers. It is our job as a responsible brand to proactively keep our employees and customers safe."

Under the current circumstances.. it makes no sense if she was fired without a warning.. especially if such do's and don'ts aren't set in stone first..
