I am always surprised when leftards who run businesses on purpose piss off potential customers.

How about put a nametag on each employee?

Why eat at a place that would probably spit in your food.

Can “neuter” be used as a pronoun?

I would rather talk to the robot kiosks at McDonald’s than to a human food service worker who attempts to coerce me into being an enabler for their Progressive madness.

I would use “sweetie-pie” for the dames and I would use “buddy-boy” for the guys. I’ve never done that before, but I may make it a habit.

Just refer to all of them as Sweet Cheeks. That should solve the problem.

“The May Day Cafe asks that you use gender-neutral language when addressing its employees. Thank you.”

Gotta love how they ask you to respect their pronouns and then presume to address customers as “YOU”.

“You” is not among the pronouns I respond to from pompous jerks.

No, and if that doesn’t meet with your approval, I can just leave...

Wow. Is that real or an intentional mockery?

That image is a perfect stereotype of exactly what I expected.

Used to take my grandfather out for breakfast on Sundays. Always had to get the same waitress, a redhead, and while she was pouring the coffee he’d ask “How ya doin’ Toots?”.

My grandfather used to call my grandmother Toots when they were at home, privately.

Ah. That picture is worth at least a thousand words.

My advice is never buy a taco from a dude in blue lipstick who's wearing his cat.

Very real.

According to the article it's called "Q" which is probably short for queer.

That level of mental illness is the very reason I do not go outside of Texas except perhaps up to Oklahoma.

I don't know why there are pockets of that extreme crap in the locations where they exist but even here in Texas the nutcases are much more conventional.

There has GOT to be something in the water in those locations.

I wouldn’t eat there. I don’t want to be pulled into the craziness.

I’m thinking “waitron.”

They keep this excrement up and pretty soon, we will be all calling out "WaitBot, I require a new napkin" and a shiny machine will deliver it with a polite response.

I’d worry about that shedding into my taco if I had to eat there. . .
