Sarah Huckabee Sanders gets refused service at a restaurant

Last night The Red Hen, a restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, refused to serve Trump's press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and 7 other members of her party. The owner told her to leave apparently after like 2 minutes and there even was a note in the back that said "86--Sarah Huckabee Sanders". "86" is restaurant lingo that means they are out of something or to end/get rid of something. Of course people on both sides of the political spectrum are fired up about this in different ways this morning. The restaurant is getting both 1 and 5 star reviews on Yelp based on their actions which I think is absurd. I hate when people do that. If you haven't personally been to a place, you shouldn't be writing a Yelp or any other review of it. Sanders herself has commented about the matter on her Twitter account. I'm sure we will be hearing from Trump shortly. He can't help himself from injecting himself into these types of situations.
Reviewers from both sides of the aisle flooded a Virginia restaurant’s Facebook and Yelp pages with one- and five-star reviews after a server at the restaurant claimed his boss kicked out White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sande

I don't like her myself, but I still think it's a little absurd that they refused to serve her. Then again, I wouldn't want Trump in my restaurant.

I wouldn't have kicked her out, but that's the owner's right. Sanders supports the bakery owners who didn't want to bake a cake for a gay wedding so she really can't say much about the restaurant owner here.

@NJChicaa I just don't think that throwing someone out, or refusing to serve them, is doing anything. It's not really making much of a statement, and the majority of people will not be on the side of the restaurant. Even so, I do think it's a bit ridiculous to give them bad reviews because of it. I also think Sarah H. Sanders could have left her tweet at "and I politely left". The rest of what she said will just be picked apart. She hasn't always treated "those she disagreed with" respectfully. Plenty of press conferences with plenty of snide remarks to reporters.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I agree about the tweet. It is like she thinks her press conferences haven't been televised. We've ALL seen how rude she is to reporters. Just another example of her lies.

Personally if I owned a business I wouldn't turn anyone awaytimes are hard. I see you mentioned the wedding cake thing and if I was the baker, even if I disagreed with a customer, I wouldn't turn business away.

That went all the way to the Supreme Court which ruled that the baker has the right to refuse service (discriminate) to a homosexual couple because it violates his religious beliefs.

Sounds like a good idea to me. She is an acid-tongued liar for Trump.

It certainly is the owner's right to do so. I think she is obnoxious.
