Angela Payne, a spokeswoman for the restaurant chain, told NBC24 that the flag was “offensive to many… customers and employees.”
The employee, Wesley Rogers, was told two weeks ago to remove the flag but refused, resulting in his termination.
“They said they were doing their best to follow up on a complaint,” Rogers told the Daily News. “To make [the person who lodged the complaint] more comfortable. But I wasn’t comfortable with it. I said ‘it wasn’t coming down, no way.’ Then they showed me my way out.”

Good man! TO HELL WITH 'EM!!
Bon Evans no more. And good for him. He didn't need to work for them anyway.
I absolutely hate political correctness. Leave the man and his flag alone. If you don't like it, don't look.
Back pay and retirement, hands down!
LOL!
When you are on company property and are warned of something and chose not listen you then become unemployed. He thinks because he is from Virginia he is a southerner and it's his heritage.....this is two times he has found himself unemployed after acting like a moron......I believe it's called karma.......again if your employer tells you to not do something and you choose to continue......it's not rocket science.....and no he doesn't have the right to do what he chooses on a companies property......he is a complete moron.....
Absolutely! Anyone hear of the 1st Amendment? I'll never buy their product again.
If you find a lawyer that is any good. Most want easy pay bc they are lazy.
The idiot liberal left has once again been represented.
Employer has rules to follow they are in the wrong. It's not in the policy corporate hand book that was given to the employee. Also in America you have a right to face your accusers in court! Another civil right violation bc it was anonymous. If he suid he would win several years from now... Remember the agenda behind taking the flag down. It surely isn't racism. Fact not fiction.
Right,just like when your employer tells you not to wear that Burka you had better heed the warning.
I guess i should remove my jesus saves sticker too wouldnt want to offened anyone screw freedom of expression I'm sure if it were a rainbow sticker everyone would be all over it ridiculous 10:01
Are they going to fire people who have "black lives matter" stickers on their car?
Because those are offensive to a lot more people.

You are an idiot!! I guess I won't be able to be a customer with my truck in their parking lot with flag. F them!
Olive Garden out the door, Bob Evans out the door (I always thought their food was always greasy). Keep on restaurants and you will soon find yourselves without patrons.
You people are clueless.......the employee was told to not fly the flag on company property...said wing nut decided he was smarter so he did it again...he was fired for doing what was told not to do case closed. In many states you can be fired for no reason at all and it's legal. This idiot has now lost two jobs over a flag.....the company isn't at issue here they have to follow laws like it or not. The flag was used by hate groups for decades. Black people this flag as a negative symbol. Again this guy is the moron......
Your the moron! So many flags have been used for hate. When does a person have the right to express themselves freely? It's on his truck! That he paid for.
That he parked at his employers private company parking lot. He was informed not to fly it by his boss....he chose to do it anyway and was fired. You are the moron.....again when the company you work for tells you not to do something it's a good idea to listen.
Employer is wrong people. It's not illegal or in the company policy. It's a win at federal court. Your a complete moron if you think different. Think for yourself.
Hey 835......just a simple comment because you aren't smart enough for much else.....obviously the employer may know just alittle more than you....in many states you can be terminated without any reason given. This person chose to do what he was told not to and justly fired. It's not a win in any court.....please go bury your head back in the sand were it came from.
Your wrong.
936. Your the reason why federal court is back logged for 5 years. I think you honestly believe you can go against your own company policy and procedures just because you manager or owner. Sadly mistaken.
First of all none of know this companies policy....second this idiot is now jobless twice for the same thing....yep he's winning alright. I am not incorrect in what I said. In many states you can be let go without reason at anytime. This company like any has rules...not simply policies. On Company property you have to abide by what you are told. He was warned not to fly this flag on company property....private property the company has the right to make the rules on. He chose to fly the flag again.....and was justly fired....I'm sorry your IQ level isn't high enough to grasp that but that's how real life works....if you manager tells you not to do something and you choose to continue its on you not them. Get past the flag.....it is not a symbol of peace to most black people like it or not. This employee is simply stupid and to lose your job twice of it just proves how dumb he truly is........
Perfect example of a person who thinks they are the smartes person in the room. The people your around dislike you. Your a drone in the world working for the machine. You can change starting now. Just stop being a jerk off.
He was discriminated against sue the heck out of them.
It's called being honest.....knowledge is powerful especially against people like you that don't have a clue how the real world works.....I'm not the smartest person in any way but I do understand how the law and private companies work.....look at the actual facts....the company wins here case closed.....
Hey brainiac....he's was fired for wilfully not doing what he was told.....it's not difficult....well for most of you it seems to be......he wasn't discriminated against....he was fired for being stupid and that's something you just can't fix.......
Were you their? You are such a moron..
First of all its there.....second read the whole story......again fired for not doing what he was told.....or is it you can't read.....
Bob Evans No more in my house
Doing the old PC thing is getting OLD
Hope he does sue and win big
We have to fight back
Look at South Carolina, They pissed god off and he flooded the place.
What goes around comes around.
Employer can discriminate if he/she does they will lose in federal court. That is where they find out they CANT... Again your a moron.
