I guess I understand the initial reasoning of it, next thing you know people are showing up with Trump badges or Biden bages, or I grok spock badges or whatever.

Or a person claiming their rights to declare with whatever badges are out there.

But the Poppy is not a cause or political statement as much as a symbol, so I think they didn't understand the difference and went for the blanket, nertz to everything.

What's awesome was how fast other chains like the Coop and Safeway etc posted pictures of their employees wearing the poppy.
