Food workers in Washington, D.C., pledged to refuse service and cause other inconveniences for members of the incoming Trump administration when they dine out over the next four years.
Industry veterans, bartenders and servers in the nation's capital told the Washingtonian that resistance to the Republican figures in the progressive city was inevitable and a matter of conscience.

"There’s a lot of opportunities for us as workers to feel like we’re taking our power back, while not necessarily ruining someone’s life. Giving them a subtle inconvenience feels like a little bit of a win for us," she continued.
Nancy said she would refuse service to certain Trump officials. If her employer tried to force her, she claimed she would quit "on the spot." "You expect the masses to just ignore RFK eating at Le Diplomate on a Sunday morning after a few mimosas and not to throw a drink in his face?," said Zac Hoffman, a DC restaurant veteran who is now a manager at the National Democratic Club.

But, I'm not sure how they expect this to work. As Trump and his team replaces agencies with Trump supporters, who do these restaurants plan to be serving?
It would be a shame if some group hosted a mass “Poop-In” for those restaurants, conveniently missing the toilets, or using the urinals wrongly.
They need food tasters, have the server sample when served or no tip. Any tampering should be a felony.
That’s alright. All it takes is a few enterprising establishments to advertise themselves as Trump-friendly. They’ll have more business than they can handle.
Yes. Antagonize Hitler. Very smart.
soup NAZIs ?
The staff of the incoming Admin should use social media to identify these cretinous workers, where they work, and compile a list of friendly and poisonous establishments.
Boycott the poisonous. Watch them wither and die.
Gee, this sounds familiar. And just like last time if they actually try it their restaurants will probably be forced out of business by the backlash from the majority of the population who aren’t bratty children in adult bodies.
Don’t. Dine. Out.
Yes. Antagonize Hitler. Very smart.
Good point. If they really thought Trump was “literally Hitler”, would they be vocalizing their plans to refuse service to his foot soldiers?
They’d be locked up in the reeducation camps before January 20th even arrives!
The party of tolerance, love and inclusivity!
If the swamp is drained, many DC restaurants will go out of business. These hateful restaurant workers will lose their jobs.
Win-win.
Even if you're a random staffer working for the Trump Administration, they'll be able to spot you because you'll be wearing a suit.
Democratic Staffers do not even bother dressing up anymore. They're all casual.
No normal person feels welcome in DC. Too many criminals.
Already happening due to covid. It's a ghost town now.
These people are no different from the racists who used to keep black people waiting an hour for their meals.
This is all the more reason to drain the swamp. Get rid of agencies that have no function aligned with the Constitution and move the rest to other parts of the country.
And another view is any Trump staffer can dine anywhere they want, they just don’t need to advertise that they are Trump loyalists.
On June 22, 2018, a co-owner of The Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, asked Sarah Huckabee Sanders, then the White House press secretary, to leave.
In November 2023, the restaurant’s owners announced that the Red Hen would cease operations at the end of the year and reopen in early 2024 under a new name. However, a current Google search lists the restaurant as permanently closed.
