Nobody is advocating violence. Nobody is advocating physical harm. It's literally no different than refusing to serve someone who comes into a restaurant wearing a swastika or a KKK uniform or a racist shirt.

Until these assholes learn that their actions have consequences we are never going to right the ship.

I understand your feeling that we should not mirror their behavior, and ordinarily I'd be right with you there. But Trump and his supporters have co-opted "patriotism" and "christianity" and even "normal" and it's time for them to be shown that what they're saying and doing is not only *not* patriotic or christian or normal but it's intolerable to the rest of us, even to people who are not usually politically active. It was a political act to refuse her service, not a refusal of service based on anything she can't change but based on her bad behavior. I see it as refusing to allow a disruptive drunk to sit in my bar. She has not exhibited good manners or humanity in her public dealings, and the restaurant owner was justified in refusing her service based on her behavior, not on who she is.

Sat Jun 23, 2018, 02:56 PM
Jun 2018

If Sarah Nobody is in the restaurant with a MAGA hat and a Trump shirt but acting perfectly civilly, THEN I agree that she should be served.

However, this is the nationally recognized representative of a regime actively promoting judges who agree that it is perfectly acceptable to discriminate against people on artificial "moral grounds." It is not only permissible, it is the moral obligation of the owner to use that representative's own arguments on her, and make her recognize the consequences of the actions and words of herself and the person/people she works for. At that point, it ceases to be discrimination, and begins to be "giving them what they asked for."

Short of imprisonment and torture for their attitudes, something we do not advocate, this is the only non-violent way available to anyone to show these people what it feels like to be on the receiving end of their own policies and "morality."

Will Sanders "get it?" Probably not. But she will at some point be told what it was all about, and though she will disagree vehemently, she will at least be exposed to the negative side of the logic she so fervently advocates.

The mob criminals, Ms Sarah who merely wants to load up her gut, speaks for are stealing, hiding & selling these children on the black market & YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO COME HERE CLAIMING "Progressives" should LET HER FEED without placing "borders" around where she feels she should be welcome.

The owner of the cafe retains the right to refuse service. In this case they chose to do so based upon their moral beliefs. Given the same situation I would likely do the same. The Religious Right has made denying service based upon moral or religious beliefs an issue and there have been several high profile stories in the news over the past few years as I am sure you are aware. The issue was created by those who were offended by the life style of those attempting to patronize a particular business or government agency. The precedent has been established this is just an extension of that precedent.

should have been left to whatever Latinos that might have been working in that kitchen. Let them decide how to "fix" her dinner.
Honestly, any member of the Trump gang that eats out is making a really big mistake.

71. I would really love to be her server

Those days of being a food server are long behind me, but I'd gladly do it again to get the chance to serve her and her family. Even taking the order would be a blast. I'd respond to her in the same snarky way that she responds to reporters.

And the same goes for anyone who is in any way involved with this administration.

I think if I owned or managed a restaurant, I would seat people like Sanders and bring them water and menus. Then I would wait on everyone around them and let them sit for 20 or 30 minutes. Eventually I'd take their order and let them sit again while everyone around them gets their food, eats, and leaves. Let them sit again.

All the other customers would become aware of the neglected group, who eventually would probably give up and leave. That way, no one refused them service like the right tends to do on so-called religious grounds, they just gave them the lousiest service imaginable and hopefully embarrassed them in the process.

If I was a member of the Trump administration, I think I would be better off eating at home for awhile. Those "criminals" working in the kitchen might not be very forgiving.


There's no reason why anyone has to give these people "good service". No point in being a hypocrite, though refusing them service still sounds appealing.

Of the current replies,
I counted:

56 saying she should not be served
5 saying she should be served
And 3 with mixed feelings.


That’s a pretty big landslide disabgfeeing with the OP.


And all 5 that agreed said she should be served, but with varying levels of horrible service. (The most positive view of those five was to make her wait at least an hour. Goes down from there

Tell me why, right here on DU, you think it was wrong not to serve SHS, because I'm not clicking.

In any event, a business has the right to refuse service as long as the refusal isn't based on a person being a member of a protected class. I'd throw her ugly ass out of my restaurant, too. She can go eat at Chik-Fil-A and buy a piece of cake at some bakery that won't bake wedding cakes for gay people, and to hell with her.

Do not confuse discrimination as a reason for refusing service with actual moral convictions. Any business owner is free to refuse service to people as long as it is not discriminatory. She deserves consequences for her actions. This is simply one of those consequences.

On edit: insisting she be served is like insisting you must give a skinhead or Neo-Nazi a ride to their rally as an Uber or Lyft driver. Would you expect African Americans to have to do that too?

Being "progressive" doesn't mean rolling over on our principles.

If the only way we can stand up to them is by showing them we know how evil they are then we must do it at every opportunity. We must let them know that the people are not fooled.

If bigots are applauded for not making wedding cakes for moral reasons then we should have no qualms about not serving bigots for REAL MORAL REASONS!

I’m saying pick a side and stick to it. Republicans want everything every which way. They have literally staked a position on every side of every issue. They voted for a pedophile for crying out loud. Bottom line for these people, IOKIYAR.

You don't kowtow to fascists, liars, racists, xenophobes and propagandists. Huckabee is a propagandist and she is culpable in Trump's horrific treatment of immigrants, asylum-seekers and hell, they are persecuting naturalized citizens, too. If it were up to her and her daddy, and probably most of the Trump administration, The South wold still have Jim Crow. Deplorable restaurants and bakeries refuse to serve gays, and some of them harass people of color because of Trump and his shills. I guess maybe now she knows what it feels like to be refused service, except she deserves it.

It is terribly naïve to equate not supporting facists with what conservatives do to the vulnerable members of society. Hating someone for what they choose to do is different than them hating people for how they were born.

The employee's called the owner and explained the situation. The owner decided to drive over to see if it was actually Sanders. The owner realized that it was indeed Sanders and interrupted the employee's prep work of the food order to take a vote if they should ask Sanders to leave. All employee's agreed to ask her to leave. The owner asked Sanders to leave privately and politely. They were NOT charged for the appetizer's they received.

There was nothing wrong about it. Any proprietor of a business has the right to call the shots. It was done in a professional matter.
