Owner of San Francisco's Ritual Coffee fires her husband for using racial slur

Eileen Rinaldi, owner of Ritual Coffee Roasters, has fired her husband after he used a racial slur against a Black man, according to the San Francisco Chronicle (SFGATE and the San Francisco Chronicle are both owned by Hearst but operate independently of one another). The incident occurred outside of the company’s warehouse on 17th Street in late May.

"He reported to me that he had a verbal altercation over a parking space while managing a construction project," wrote Eileen Rinaldi in an Instagram post about her husband, John Rinaldi. "He said that during the altercation, an individual called John a racial epithet. John said he then made the horrible mistake of repeating the racial slur back to the individual, something that he never should have done. This incident is extremely upsetting to me. While he had only this freelance construction role at Ritual in the last year, I’m deeply regretful for allowing John to oversee this project or to do any work with Ritual."

A story only possible in the cesspool known as the SF Bay Area. It's Olympic Gold Medal-level virtue signaling.

My gut tells me it’s a false story concocted by the couple to drum up business through virtue signaling.

If my wife fired me, I’d get an eight ball and 3 hookers...

[Seruzawa]

A heartless judgmental virtue-signaler who would scream for forgiveness if the situation was reversed.

Kinda reminds me of the old Soviet practice of reporting your relatives for making “counterrevolutionary” statements.

I probably wouldn’t make it through the job interview.

Concur. But if it happened to me, I would become a house husband and spend a lot of time at the gun range. It would be a win for all- My wife would get her virtue award and I would get to do anything I want. Now she would have to pay all of the bills (especially the bar bill), but I'm certain a "virtue award" is worth that.

So I guess the old schoolyard reply, “I know you are, but what am I?” is out.

This is utterly crazy. But than again, it’s San Francisco...

And she looks the part. I mean right out of Central Casting audition for a shrill Karen.

So if her husband is such a deplorable racist, will she divorce him? Would she have done the same if he was unfaithful? So now racism is the highest sin to these woke liberals? Is he in the doghouse forever?, Me, I would not go home that night, and see my lawyer first thing in the morning.

I like where your going with this.

[Bulwyf]

That’s pretty specific lol.

[ifinnegan]

Wife gets mad at husband.

And why is this news?

It’s all propaganda all the time.

Since he wasn’t working for her she couldn’t fire him!

[EEGator]

One should always maintain contingency plans. :)

[Pirate Ragnar]

He needs a (racial slur) divorce attorney that specializes in woke Karen snowflakes.

[nickcarraway]

Are you kidding? She’s still married to him. This could be canceled coffee.

Freepers need to keep a eye on their womenfolk. Too many are woke.
