Thanks for all the posts... funny stuff here.
First, chill is my middle name. So, that is no problem. No need to get violent with the guy, that seems rather pointless. I know he can afford to cover the tattoo (we pizza boys average 100/night), and if he really regretted it he would have done so by now.
I may have a friendly chat with him and appeal to his greed... ie customers will give you better tips if they don't think you're an ignorant, inbred bigot, so maybe, Chief, you should cover that little [mistake] with a bandage or magic marker.
If he is disinclined to do so, I'll just get him fired.

Sounds like a safe way to play it.
On a side note, "bigot yahoo" is such a great description. I love it.

swastika's traditionally are signs of fertility and good healthy (i believe) - your probably misinterperting it... but probably rightfully so.

Hm...Hitler had no kids and was in horrible physical shape toward the end of the war. It is even rumored that he might have had syphilis.

The swastika is a holy symbol in Hinduism, Jainism, Heathenry and Buddhism. In the West, it is more widely known as a symbol of Nazism.

Who gives a fuck? As long as his behavior is under control and he's not a menace, leave him alone. He's allowed to believe whatever he wants.

It never ceases to amaze me how radicals hate freedom so much. You'd think the druggie/hippie faction would fully support freedom, but nope. Not if it goes against their beliefs.

Great isn't it?
And they don't get it no matter how many times it's pointed out to them.

No kidding. I'm obviously no fan of Nazi's, but if they want a tattoo of their symbol on them, more power to them.

Indeed. Imagine if someone tried to get someone else fired for having a pot leaf tattoo.

If it would make you feel better: a pot leaf tattoo would not be OK too.
Now personally I like it that nazi scum voluntarily wears a sign by which you can recognise them, but an employee is an extension of the business, and the swastika is a political symbol intimately associated with genocide.
From september 1, 1939 onwards the war lasted about 6 years, and for every single year a million Jews died in death camps based on that ideology. A pretty powerful statement for a pizza place.
A hemp leaf tattoo would signify: "dude, by the time you'll get your pizza it'll be cold and you have to repeat twice what you want on it." Big difference!
