In case you didn't know, Claim Jumper is a restaraunt, not a wild Ft. Lauderdale spring break night club. Restaraunt bars are not usually looking for their bartenders to be Tom Cruise in Cocktail.
If this guy was any sort of a value to the company, he would not be fired for something that seems so trivial. If wearing a braclet is a safety or health code issue, then the employer has to take a "no exception" stance on the rule.
I don't think his publicity will be getting him any other job offers. Most bosses don't go near a verified trouble maker.
Here is what his real rights are. He has the right to abide by the dress code that his employers specify, or he has the right to get a different job. It sounds like he chose the second option.
