Two employees who refused to serve a man and his wife because he was wearing a hoodie with President Trump’s name on it were fired after a video of the heated encounter went viral.
Erika Lindemyer and her husband, Jake, were forced out of a Smoothie King franchise location in Ann Arbor, Michigan, following a fiery clash with two young female workers on Sunday.
The employees claimed they didn’t “feel comfortable” serving the couple because of Jake’s pro-Trump hoodie, as captured by Erika in a viral video.
Jake and Erika fired back at the pair and insisted that they were being “discriminated” against based on their “political views.”
“We were just wanting a smoothie and you literally looked at us and I asked you if everything was OK and you said ‘We don’t feel comfortable serving you’ because of my husband’s hoodie. That is discrimination,” Erika spat.
“Okay, well, have a great day,” the first employee said.
“That is illegal,” Erika tried to insist again.
“I said Trump discriminates [against] us,” another employee chimed in.
“Okay, well that has nothing to do with us getting a smoothie!” Erika guffawed.
“OK, well that’s who you support though, that’s who you love,” the first employee chided.

It’s them again Yogi. Blinded by the endless propaganda they have been fed to hate Trump and anyone who supports him.
> Blinded by the endless propaganda… <
That’s exactly right. Trump is the best person possible for blacks to have in the White House.
Trump wants to bring industry back to America. That means good jobs for city folks. And he’s working to make cities safe from crime.
But too many blacks (and others) just don’t see it. It’s the endless propaganda, as you noted.
Well, I wouldn’t “feel comfortable” having them make me a smoothie after that exchange.
You treat customers as customers, for the most part [because I can think of reasons to deny service]. They are not actors in your political theater.
“I wouldn’t “feel comfortable” having them make me a smoothie after that exchange.”
This is the part that worries me. I don’t generally display my political leanings in public because these democrats are bitter and dangerous.
If bakers have to make a wedding cake for homosexuals, then you have to serve someone in a Trump sweatshirt.
Exactly.
My first suspicion too.
“following a fiery clash with two young female workers on Sunday.”
Should be “two young BLACK female workers”.
I wonder if they learned a lesson after being fired. Probably not.
“I wonder if they learned a lesson after being fired. Probably not.”
They’ll get a lawyer and sue the company and collect a million or two.
But we’re the Nazis….(sarcasm)
I didn’t even have to look....I could tell they were black by their words.....and they didn’t even have to say AXE!!
Yep we had an uber driver while on vacation. An AWFUL who claimed she was “raised conservative” by her parents. Her father worked for the government as a soil analysist (ahem). Whenever we made a cogent point to her, she immediately changed the subject and started raising her voice to talk over her. She actually lauded the moderate “John McCain.” LOL
This was in Savannah Georgia. I weep for Georgia.
I’m happy with them getting fired. Your milage may very.
It was probably a “work requirement” anyway where you have to do the bare minimum to get entitlements.
