Yeah its even in the terms when you join a job nowadays, you are a representation of the company even online.

Well considering I live in one of the "far left" states and have had all kinds of jobs it basically comes down to this

I keep my personal beliefs to myself and away from my work. When I'm at work I'm there to do a specific job. If I'm not doing my job properly, I know that I can be fired.

As an employee, you basically learn to be a customer punching bag. You will ALWAYS, ALWAYS have customers who bitch at you, are rude to you, swear at you, etc. The best thing to do is keep your loving mouth shut and either continue trying to assist them or direct them to your higher up boss.

The only time you should act differently is if you're being physically assaulted. Even if you went to your employer about a customer verbally harassing you or demeaning you, chances are they'll come out and speak to the customer themselves or call the police depending on the situation. They aren't going to lower your pay or fire you, that is the dumbest stuff.

i don't think this hypothetical example ever blows over to real life
if an apple employee posts "i hate spicks" 99% of the time people are usually not going to come to the conclusion that their company supports racism and is the face of the entire company
people aren't going to stop buying whatever product or react negatively towards the company because some dumbass doesn't like mexicans
the only people who do that are the hyper-sensitive people and the people running the company, who think that their brand will be affected by even the slightest bit of negativity
i can guarantee you that the average person doesn't give a forget
