The manager of a Bojangles’ restaurant in Charlotte, North Carolina who locked out Trump supporters after leaving a rally for the president has now found himself out of the job.
Donald Trump had given a speech to over 10,000 of his supporters at a venue that is less than a ten-minute walk from the restaurant, according to The Charlotte Observer. Michael Furick, who attended the rally, took to Facebook afterwards to recount how he and other Trump supporters were barred from entering the Bojangles’ restaurant.

“Bojangles locked the doors to the Trump rally last night and denied service,” Furick wrote. “Ironic because the rally was at Bojangles arena. @bojangles this is pretty distasteful. I walk up to the door and people are gathered around and stated they would not serve Trump supporters.”
Photos that Furick posted show an employee making a “stop” gesture with his hand, and Trump supporters standing outside with their pro-Trump signs. Eventually, the shift manager who had made the call to lock the doors called his own manager, who came to the restaurant to unlock the establishment.
As Trump supporters everywhere threatened to boycott Bojangles, the chain responded on Facebook by saying that the manager “made a bad decision to close the dining room. We apologize. That manager is no longer employed by Bojangles’.”

It likely won't. If you call a company now days and ask why an employee left, they won't tell you anything. Fear of lawsuits.
A very good tune.
That seems to be the case with all types of restaurants these days. At many restaurants the music is so loud that it drowns out conversation, which is one of the main reasons I used to like to eat at sit-down restaurants. Restaurateurs these days must be catering to millennials who for some reason seem to like noisy eateries.
I think that millennials are simply desensitized to it. It’s all they have ever known.
If I am in a restaurant for a real meal I will politely tell the manager that I want the music turned down so I can converse with my company.
Funny/stupid story: Some years ago we were eating in an Appleby’s and I asked the waitress to have the manager turn the music down. When the manager came over and asked if it was better I said it wasn’t lower at all. He looked surprised. He had gone into the kitchen and told the staff there to turn *their* music down. Which of course we couldn’t hear anyway. I just rolled my eyes.
Wow! How can you guys forget Sammy Davis Jr.’s version?
The Management of Bojangles needs to tell us Deplorables, that the manager of that outlet was wrong, and they will donate $1 million to CONSERVATIVE CAUSES...
That $36M looks more like Brian Williams’ kind of math. :)
A friend of mine who wears his Trump hat everywhere he goes went into the waffle house in Wadesboro NC and never got waited on.
He sat right there and called corporate at waffle house to report how he was being treated, dont know what ever became of it.
I’ve cut way back on my Fast Food consumption..no longer get coffee at any public establishment.
I’m trying. Believe me, I’m trying.
