DC food workers vow Trump officials won't feel welcomed when dining out in nation's capital
'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?' one DC restaurant veteran said
By Kristine Parks Fox News
Published December 12, 2024 8:00pm EST

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.

"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.

Bartenders and servers in the report promised to shun certain officials or employ other small acts of resistance against these figures to take their "power back."

"This person theoretically has the power to take away your rights, but I have the power to make you wait 20 minutes to get your entrée," Nancy, a fine-dining bartender, said.

"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."

... and the Trump folks will be happy to not patronize you and to not leave you a tip.

Good luck getting a decent tip from tightwad Dems like the Clintons, Obamas, Bidens, and Kerry's.  They're overly generous with other people's money, but stingy with their own.

Back in the 1990's, my cousin graduated from Northeastern's School of Pharmacology.  The graduation ceremony was at the Boston Garden / Shamut Center / Fleet Center / TD Banknorth Garden / TD Garden.  The commencement speaker was (then) President Bill Clinton.

Clinton's entourage asked a nearby restaurant, The Fours, to provide lunches for Clinton's folks ... for free.  The Fours declined.

DC restaurant workers, good luck earning a living off tips from cheapskate Dems.

Is this a union position, or a few select idiots vying for attention?

...  and to the industry....   The new practice of making us tip fast food is only a ploy to keep you from spitting in our food

And as a result further destroy the restaurant industry in DC?  These vindictive idiots are not very forward thinking are they?

They actually mentioned that in the article, that Republicans tend to be lower maintenance customers and leave bigger tips.

So WTF?

I guess "No Tax On Tips" isn't resonating with Libs when Trump said it.

2017 rerun, a fail then, probably pre-doomed to failure again. DC restaurateurs would be wise to warn their staff that "resistance" will result in summary firing.

Nothing like alienating half the people likely to show up. Maybe there are enough democrats to fill the tables, maybe not.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Of course 'rights' to these people are not in the Constitution, but are part of their cult religious dogma that only they get to enjoy, while the rest of us are designated to second class citizens.

And what you can passively-aggressively do can be passively-aggressively done right back to you, like crappy reviews on Yelp and zero tips and just a general boycott of your establishment.

Just put a big "D" on the door at the entry, so folks will know that the establishment is "d-communist only" and that Republicans aren't welcome there.

Hey, a similar scheme worked in Deutschland in the 1930's, eh...?

Good firing. In DC, that description would cover a lot of the people who might walk in.

$15M went to Trump yesterday for the punditry version of the same thing.  This little "equality" thing the left has harped on for so long is backfiring.

That's why they have replaced "equality" with "equity" in their shtick. The latter proposes equal outcomes regardless of merit, the former just means everyone has the same chance to earn their rewards.

And for those who would do such a thing... a well-placed rumor about your employer's basement on certain forums will ensure you lose your job whether your boss likes it or not.
