Tennessee Woman Fired for Xmas Pin

(Cocke County, Tennessee) A cashier at a local Lowe's Home Improvement Center, Kristie Sutton, was fired for wearing a Christmas pin to work.

The pin says "It's called Christmas, for Christ's sake".

When Sutton admired the pin being worn by a customer, the stranger gave it to her. Neither knew its message would mean trouble for the cashier.

When a customer complained, the employee was asked to remove the pin due to store policy that no employee should wear a pin supporting a religion.

Returning from lunch the same day, Sutton was fired.

Lowe's issued a statement indicating that the store doesn't comment on personnel matters. The complaining customer wasn't identified.
