The manager did the right thing, and has a lot of support.
First off, this took place in Canada. Canada which has been the whipping post for Trump for the last couple of months. Trump telling blatant lies about Canada and insulting us.
The fact that some rube would be stupid enough to wear a baseball cap that supports Trump, while visiting Canada, is not only the height of bad manners, but a provocation.
The hat represents bigotry,homophobia,mysogyny, and lies.
The manager did not refuse him service. The press has gotten the story slightly wrong. I know someone who is a friend of the manager. The actual story is that he ask the man to please remove his hat. The man said nothing, but just walked out and then complained. There was no real conversation. The motivation of the manager was that he felt the other customers would feel uncomfortable. I know it would ruin my dinner.
If it was a fast food joint, probably wouldn't care, but this is a fairly nice restaurant.
You can't refuse a customer because of their background or beliefs. Forget the customer supports Trump, do we even know if a customer is a registered sex offender or career criminal? In a public setting you could be serving wine to a convicted rapist and have no clue. Do we run a business that judge customers' rap sheet? If so, only the devout christians are your customer base and you might as well close shop if you want to get in the game of picking and choosing which customer you serve. This is why people who are devouted to faith or political bias cannot run a business they'll get into trouble deciding who they do business with.
I think it is silly for someone to wear their political affiliation on their sleeve or in this case their head but of course we could expect the near same response if that guy was donning a NRA hat.
I was following a car yesterday that had a BERNIE 2016 bumper sticker on it and I thought it was silly but I certainly wasn't triggered by it.
I always thought the word Liberal meant, free, open minded but Trump has certainly brought out the ugly in them.
