CVS pharmacy had an issue with an employee wearing ties bearing religious symbolism at one of their Virginia outlets.
This item about an employee at the Orange, Virginia, outlet of the CVS pharmacy chain having to discontinue wearing ties bearing Christian symbols and scriptural references due to a customer complaint was posted on Facebook on 30 August 2013. It's true to the extent that CVS has acknowledged receiving a religion-related customer complaint about the attire of an employee at the referenced store and acting on the issue, although the company did not specify the nature of the action it took to resolve the issue or state it had enacted (or enforced) a ban on all religious attire:We want our stores to be a place where all customers feel welcome and where our colleagues can work in comfort. We greatly value the diversity of our communities and have complete respect for the religious beliefs (or lack thereof) of our customers and colleagues. Our company dress code is not intended to exclude all religious attire, but to avoid messages that could lead to confrontations or discomfort, regardless of the subject matter. In Orange, VA, we recently received a customer complaint about a colleague's attire and we acted to address that complaint, not to support or oppose any particular religious belief.
