I understand the reasoning behind corporate policies banning all pins and displays, but once again, zero tolerance is when rational people hold up a piece of paper and say "no" in all situations rather than risking having to make a difficult decision at some point in the future.
Asinine policies are typically enforced by fear in corporate hierarchies (rather than fucking with holidays like this, it more frequently comes in the form of verbally abusing employees and blaming them for customers knowing that extended warranties are a scam,) so even a local manager who disagrees with it may comply for the sake of his own job.
If nothing else, this is an idiotic move from a PR perspective and there's no way that the number of potential customers who would be offended by poppies or damage done to uniforms would outweigh the cost of people angry that WWI and WWII veterans are being slighted.

It's a flower worn on Remembrance Day in memory and respect of those who fought for their country in the World Wars and out of respect for all who died on all sides (same as our Veterans Day, happens to be celebrated a week earlier in Europe this year.) It's also where opium and other such wonderful pleasures in life comes from.
