I like the Market Square location. They also have one inside PNC Park.

His figs are very special and demand special treatment.

The buck stops with the Top (Ownership). This business should be unmercifully slammed as an example to ALL business, that if the Ownership tacitly supports a particular political ideology to the degree in their policy that "lower management" is allowed to blatantly takes sides, then you risk losing half (or more, in this case) of your business.
No! I owned a business with 1800 employees. I can't stop one of those knuckleheads from saying something stupid. Yet, I am a Trump supporter. So if I'm knucklehead, who I don't even know, does something stupid like that you're gonna boycott my business?

The ownership responded very quickly and put out a press release, saying that as soon as they heard about it, they reversed it and let Vance in. Vance himself said, "That is a good business, and we should continue to support it."

If you boycott a business like that, you are no better than the communist assholes who were beheading everyone in the French revolution, regardless of if they were guilty of anything or not.

Things are on edge now, Pen, likely a lot more volatile than when you headed up a business. Did you/your policy guidelines then make it clear to all of your employees re any sort of politically motivated discriminatory practices? Did they know that such discrimination would result in immediate firing? I am 100% sure that you implemented Racial discrimination as red line taboo, but what about political discrimination?

Heretofore, business owners had better choose and make it clear, or they will face consequences just like this scenario. I'm sure there are a lot of Republican patriots who work in the restaurants who will lose their jobs, just like with those at Bud Light. Even Trump and Kid Rock could not stop that BL stampede once it began. It is suicide for a business to get political nowadays. Owners should and do know this, so it's just a matter of pissing off the current 'government' policy...or...or cowing and getting hit from the Right. Rock and hard place.

That completely differed from the videos that the patrons posted.

Them trying to do right then doesn't mean they didn't screw the pooch an hour or two prior.

I care less about what you do when the nation is watching, it's when they're not is your true character shown.

Glad they cancelled what orders they could and dripped out of there. Plenty of more places to go. If the servers are of like mind, who can say, then save them from having to pay ANY taxes on tips and leave them none.

Why? If you've spent generations building something, you're entitled to maximize your return when you sell it.

this is a lot different than a grunt hostess saying F trump lmao. that wouldn't even be tweeted about.

I would expect you to hire managers that aren't so braindead they are doing things like letting air out of trump supporters tires or refusing service to prominent figures... you may deserve a boycott.

im sure you can understand there are different levels of tolerance for playing stupid games based on the scale of the game and the stupidity.

Yeah, I’m sure you’d be just thrilled if someone turned you and your ‘husband’ away for being a couple of degenerates.

You did.

It was just one more example of how vile the left actually is.

This latest incident simply illustrates that this behavior is the norm for the goose-steppers.
