>Uttering 'fuck' when something hits your foot is completely different than using it as a verb in a story, in front of other employees.

Maybe the employees didn't demonstrate the same level of judgement. Act like children, get treated like children.

Another possibility is they want people near clients and visitors to be more proper.

I don't know I hope it's more than just not trusting the employees.

They probably didn't demonstrate the same level of judgment. Most people are clueless.

I have a coworker who uses "fuck you" as a casual insult or joke. Can't get him to stop and no one will make him stop because "he doesn't mean any harm by it".

To play devils advocate if he doesn't mean any harm by it and everyone's aware he doesn't, is it still an issue?
