From the article:
“Davis also takes issue with Sonny’s disapproval of employees wearing clothing with American flags and Christian logos on them and with such items in the restaurant.
One paragraph in the letter reads, “Team members at the Tifton Sonny’s Store #92 were wearing white T-shirts with an American flag that stated on the front, ‘I Pledge...I Pray.’ There was also a ‘Jesus’ memento/trinket on the shelf at the cash register. The T-shirts are not an approved uniform along and the ‘Jesus’ memento/trinket are not within Sonny’s System Standards, which states as follows: Politics and Religion: Where we realize you are individual business owners with your own view on politics and religion, the Sonny’s brand must remain non-partisan. No political or religious signage is allowed on the property where a Sonny’s is located. This includes non-partisan races such as city and county government as well as holding religious services inside the restaurant. Any cash and food donations are at your discretion.”
It really doesn’t sound like they have a problem with “a specific” religion, which isn’t what I was saying, rather promoting ANY religion in a franchised establishment. In other words, they don’t want franchisees to promote their own religions beliefs or give the impression that any one religion is being promoted at a restaurant with their name on it.
The “I pledge...I pray” doesn’t promote a specific religion. It sounds like Sonny’s is just anti-religion.
Does Sonny's sell pork products?
