Gay waiters and bigot politicians
Advertisements [?]
I'm trying to imagine David Duke being stupid enough to go to dinner at a black owned and operated establishment. Not that they would do anything dangerous or life threatening to him, simply that you would think he would steer clear of the situation if for no other reason than the possibility of never seeing his food or even being served.

So when someone like Virginia Foxx goes out to dinner- how is it that the legion of gay restaurant owners and servers in Washington DC don't concern her in the slightest?

When I was in college, I waited on an anti-gay politician at dinner once. I dragged my feet, and made some "mistakes" in the order, but I regret to this day not simply refusing to serve him, or better yet accidentally knocking over the water glasses on the table. I really didn't need the job badly enough to worry about the consequences.

At a minimum, one could return the credit card receipt completed with a line drawn through the tip and whispering to the customer - "I have zeroed out the tip, I only served you because I am required to do so."
