Several workers at an Ohio cafe staged a walkout Saturday morning to boycott the restaurant.

According to the Columbus Dispatch,employees at Northstar Cafe wanted to protest recent decisions made by the restaurant’s management.

At Northstar, uniformed officers and firefighters reportedly received a 50% off discount.

The staff reportedly decided to discount on Wednesday to show their solidarity with protesters. However, the restaurant faced backlash and reinstated the promotion on Friday.

This prompted at least one employee to quit working at the establishment and others to participate in a demonstration. About 20 employees at Northstar’s Westerville location walked out Saturday at 4:30 p.m.

There’s a lot of Liberal Arts majors to replace them.

Good riddance. They can easily be replaced with out of work patriots, and should be.

Glad they outted themselves. Now people, especially service folk, know where not to eat. Management knows who needs firing.

I believe it was Chris Plante this AM that noted how a slight month ago about EVERY news story and business etc was given HONORS to FIRST RESPONDERS.....

In the media eye, they have went from Heros to Goats in one very easy step.

Walking off the job during a time of double-digit unemployment doesn’t seem like the most well-thought-out plan.

The workers probably are liberal arts majors. Otterbein University is two blocks away from this cafe.

Wow! Now we have a quick way to keep people with bad attitudes from applying for positions without breaking any anti-discrimination laws.

I have a relative who lives in Westerville.

As of today, the coffee shop up about one block and across the street from the cafe has a big BLM sign in the window. The police station is across from this coffee shop.

She used to like going there. Now she goes to the Muslim owned coffee shop up the street because the owners are actually friendly to the police.

A couple of years or so ago in Westerville two police officers were shot dead while answering a domestic violence call.
