We are going to need a Red Hen Reminder on a daily basis. I won’t stop calling their number and telling them to close down until they do!
I want this business destroyed!
The owner broke the law.

Restaurants: Right to Refuse Service
Do Restaurants Have the Unrestricted Right to Refuse Service?
No. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 explicitly prohibits restaurants from refusing service to patrons on the basis of race, color, religion, or national origin. In addition, most courts dont allow restaurants to refuse service to patrons based on extremely arbitrary conditions. For example, a person likely cant be refused service due to having a lazy eye.
But Arent Restaurants Considered Private Property?
Yes, however they are also considered places of public accommodation. In other words, the primary purpose of a restaurant is to sell food to the general public, which necessarily requires susceptibility to equal protection laws. Therefore, a restaurants existence as private property does not excuse an unjustified refusal of service. This can be contrasted to a nightclub, which usually caters itself to a specific group of clientele based on age and social status.
So Are “Right to Refuse Service to Anyone” Signs in Restaurants Legal?
Yes, however they still do not give a restaurant the power to refuse service on the basis of race, color, religion, or national origin. These signs also do not preclude a court from finding other arbitrary refusals of service to be discriminatory. Simply put, restaurants that carry a “Right to Refuse Service” sign are subject to the same laws as restaurants without one.
What Conditions Allow a Restaurant to Refuse Service?
There a number of legitimate reasons for a restaurant to refuse service, some of which include:
Patrons who are unreasonably rowdy or causing trouble
Patrons that may overfill capacity if let in
Patrons who come in just before closing time or when the kitchen is closed
Patrons accompanied by large groups of non-customers looking to sit in
Patrons lacking adequate hygiene (e.g. excess dirt, extreme body odor, etc.)
In most cases, refusal of service is warranted where a customers presence in the restaurant detracts from the safety, welfare, and well-being of other patrons and the restaurant itself.
So a lesson I learned from playing in bands for 25 years. It is totally illegal to record people using the restroom and plumbers are VERY expensive.
Looks like it’s on a PUBLIC sidewalk. How about organizing a protest near the front door and shout disparaging remarks to people going in and out. And take pictures of the people who patronize the place.
Best thing to do is voice it with your pocketbook. If you live there or pass through, select another restaurant. They have made it clear they want no one who supports the President. Therefore, don’t go. Simple enough.
No, this doesn’t equate (like liberals are saying) to the whole gay wedding cake thing. Baking a cake or hosting a ceremony for an event you disagree with is forcing you to violate your beliefs. If a bakery or establishment refused to serve someone because they are gay alone, that would be wrong. I say the same in this case. Refusing to serve someone for political reasons is wrong. Refusing to have an event for the Trump White House is okay.
Will we forever be at the mercy of the government employee’s union? Say what you will, but that have a large degree of control of the federal government - like hiring and firing.
This needs to go everywhere.
Someone told me not to eat there. Said it’s a hangout for MS 13. Said they provide free meals to them and new arrivals from South of the border.
Kind of a underground railroad thing.
Let’s see, food usually unites people, but that LIBERAL *itch will see her restaurant become the ‘DEAD HEN’ soon!
