Fired manager Darin Hodge said the issue erupted when he asked a customer to take off their MAGA hat. In an emailed statement, he said he would do it again.
I stand by my decision to ask the patron to remove his hat. The MAGA hat has come to symbolize racism, bigotry, islamaphobia [sic], misogyny, white supremacy, homophobia. As a person with a strong moral backbone, I had to take a stand against this guests choice of headwear while in my former place of work, he wrote.
Eva Gates, Vice president of Human Resources for the Sequoia Group of Restaurants which owns the Teahouse agreed with how the incident began, but said it amounted to a refusal of service.
Was he wearing his trudeau tutu
Only in the "minds" of precious snowflakes who insist the world be purged of anything they don't like.
Yeah exactly. What morals?
The MAGA hat has come to symbolize racism, bigotry, islamaphobia [sic], misogyny, white supremacy, homophobia.
Anyone who believes that, back it up. Explain in detail how MAGA is all that. Im waiting.
MAGA stands for Make America Great Again. Which refers to the way Obama deliberately tried to bring us down to average country status, not super power, not a light of good in the world, not a strongly defended, economically sound country.
If you dont like Trump, fine, but his slogan is really not about him. It doesnt say Trump on it, and man, if Trump wanted it to have said Trump on it, BELIEVE ME, IT WOULD HAVE SAID TRUMP ON IT. ;)
America doesnt stand for any kind of bigotry. By the way. Trump isnt a bigot either. He discriminates for the USA against non citizens from terrorist countries or illegally here, usurping what is for Americans and legal residents.
MAGA does not stand for Trump. It stands for America. To insult the slogan is to insult the country. To say you dont want America to be great insults it. To say we cannot do better than Obamas trying to denigrate us around the world is also against America.
Happy 4th of July.
Some Orthodox Jewish men wear ball caps or other hats because they dont want to be picked out in public as Jews every second. They will leave their caps on even indoors. I think the etiquette rule to always take them off is not as important as being allowed to cover your head. Jewish and Muslim married women as well. (Not the full Burkha, just the hair covering.)
Manners are no longer taught these days, sadly.
And some of our illustrious young ladies believe that a man holding a door open for them is ‘sexually harassing’ them or ‘reinforcing the patriarchy’ somehow?
I don’t get it either, it’s just some of the wonderfully enlightening things I have shouted at me by ‘young women’.
What if someone made a Pussy Hat with Make America Great Again sewn on it?
>> You are disparaging the wrong crowd! <<
I hereby disparage the practice of ANY man’s wearing a hat indoors, whether the sun visor is in the forward or backward position.
(And I don’t distinguish between/among leftists, true patriots, rich, poor, hard workers, ne’er-do-well loafers or whatever. Wrong is wrong.)
Last time I was in a restaurant, I saw at least a half a dozen guys with their hats on, seated at tables.
Men taking their hats off just because they are indoors, ain't going to happen in rural Florida where I live.
Times and generations have changed this old habit.
Everyone should be wearing their MAGA hat daily. If you don’t have one order a few.
About ten years ago before I retired to Florida, I lived in Arizona. I had to go to the emergency room at a local hospital one day when I happened to be wearing the cap.
The waiting room at the emergency room was full until I left the front counter after checking in and turned around to sit down and wait for them to call me for treatment.
About a dozen people got up and left when they saw my hat. All hispanics. IOW, all illegals. I wasn't border patrol but had just cut my hand working in my garage.
".... Who knew a MAGA Border Patrol hat had so much power?..."
Just don't do it when they're attempting to sit down......
True.
That can lead to a condition known as “purse face”.
A dread disease I hear.
Canada. “A popular B.C. restaurant” i.e. British Columbia.
Sweet, then I need to get one. I don’t have a MAGA hat yet. I better get off the pot and order one. No, order 2.
Outstanding Tony Soprano moment.
How many times did this Canadian vote for Hellary?
He should be made to prove each of those.
Keep the sun off your head and to tip to ladies.
Hats always came off in the house.
In any event, a hat worn inside essentially becomes an ornament on one's attire, and causes no significant problems that I'm aware of, so flouting such a social norm seems harmless at worst. After all, some people wear sunglasses indoors for no good reason...
