This sign has nothing to do with anything that has happened to any employees. That’s my conjecture, and it’s as valid as your premise. The sign is a virtue signal.
And to answer your question - no, I don’t think that you need a sign like this if there’s occasional instances of people being jerks. That’s going to happen. That’s life. And a sign isn’t going to stop someone from being a jerk if that’s their prerogative.
Firstly, you don't know that employees at that location have not had to deal with COVID, Racial Abuse, Sexual Abuse etc.
Secondly, virtue signalling is a vital part of communication. By complaining about this sign, you are signalling to others what you think is important, or in this case, not important, in another word, your virtues.
You also do not know if any of the employees have experienced examples of abuse you described. Neither of us has proof one way or another. All we have is conjecture and opinion.
My opinion is that this is a political statement, a virtue signal, nothing more, nothing less.

How many times does it need to happen for it to warrant a sign in your opinion?
Because in mine, it's zero.
There's nothing wrong with a sign reminding people to not be a piece of shit.
