Companies like Google, Uber, and AirBNB can get away with virtue signalling. They have huge market shares, so their super "progressive" leadership and PR teams can let loose their feelings with minimal repercussions.
But a small burger joint in a city loaded with small burger joints and tons of other great options? Either the owners are idiots (very possible), or this was a desperation move to get people talking about them and convince their mostly left leaning customers to start showing up more. I guess we'll see if it backfires, but it'll be tough to see if they see significant gains.

Burger joints are a dime a dozen. They should practically be begging for customers, not telling them to go elsewhere. Stupid move on their part.

I've never been to Cowbell, but I've heard it's extremely overrated and overpriced.
Based on this pathetic attempt at moralizing, I'll never set foot in there ever.

I don't think I'm taking a "principled stand." The last time I ate there was long before they out of that statement. I won't be bad mouthing them or anything. I'll just be continuing my current habits.

Not suggesting you are. I just don't care about this kind of stuff if your product is good. I thinks it's a stupid business practice because obviously quite a few people do care, but I don't.

I was in that neighborhood recently so I called to place a pick up order. I hung up and went somewhere else when I saw that.

Hopefully this restaurant isn't in Livingston Parish.

It's like putting "no KGB members allowed!"
Or

Like there are active KKK members and Neo Nazis rolling around Oak St ready to drop in for a burger.

Really? We were going to grab a burger over there then saw this message on their website so we went to Bourcherie instead. Much better meal anyway.

What they're really doing is calling Trump voters, people who oppose the left, etc. white supremacists and Nazis.
They're not actually focused on keeping out genuine skinheads and the like. Why? Because they largely don't exist.
This. And they're not even subtle about it.
On a side note, are these people automatically issued hipster black framed glasses when they lose their minds and decide to be progressive libs?

I want everyone to know I deplore genocide and slavery.

From a quick glance, that website screams overpriced hipster joint so it wouldn’t be on my radar anyway.
