Buftex Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I thought one of the big victories of the Trump era was that businesses could refuse service to anyone they find objectionable...bakers don't have to make cakes for gay weddings, and restaurants don't have to serve mouthpieces to Trump bull ****. It may be classless, but that is the way Trumpkins want it....no? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, political discourse has really gotten this bad. Have you heard about the people protesting the reboot of "Roseanne" as "The Conners," sans Roseanne, because John Goodman, Sara Gilbert, etc., had the bad judgement to associate with Roseanne in the past? It's getting seriously ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly, it was personal with Nielsen and Huckabee, and not raced-based.... Maybe I'm too much of a foodie, but harassing people as they sup is one rung too low. I don't like the trend at all.

Though I don't think the business owner should be forced to serve Sanders...just wish they had more maturity than to say "I won't serve you because I've seen you on TV and don't like your boss." I'm really going to get pissed when the tables are turned, conservatives are denying service to liberal public figures they find personally offensive, and the left starts complaining how unfair it is. I'm not entirely convinced our next presidential administration won't be our last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 In my opinion, they have a right to refuse service to anyone. But, they have to know that they will reap the consequences in the court of public opinion, not to mention the repercussions from the folks at 4chan and 8chan when they deem actions to be unfair. (The red hen is no longer a pr0n site, nor does it specialize in erectile dysfunction, and it no longer redirects to China... but it could again at the drop of a hat.) For myself? I would run out of a restaurant that in any way made it be known I was unwelcome. Not only would I not want to give them my money to support such bad behavior, I don't relish eating food that has been spit on, service that is super slow, or any of the horrible things restaurant workers can do to make for an unsavory (and unsafe) dining experience. To the question of the topic... should she be able to eat in peace? Yes, of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#34fan Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) I find it disturbing on many levels... Respectful Patrons shouldn't be punished for choosing your restaurant. Whether it's Sarah Huckabee, Jeff Sessions, Kirstjen Nielson, or DT himself... It's literally the antithesis of what the restaurant business should be about... I'd never eat at this petty, vindictive, shack.. -What happens if they don't like me either? Edited June 23, 2018 by #34fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's just a woman doing her job.... Do I like her? -Absolutely not.... But if political opponents choose these universally vulnerable moments to attack each other, we're going down the wrong road.... What's next? -A bullhorn in the bathroom stall?

/dev/null Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 It is their right to refuse service to anyone. It is a poor business model to turn away customers. It is terrible customer service to heckle a paying customer. This will end up reflecting poorly on the establishment. They'll get some positive social media from Lefties but it will not translate into new business. They risk alienating the conservative customer base. Meanwhile an apolitical restaurant goer may hear of this and decide to skip the establishment known for heckling their customers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
