More from the tolerant, freedom-loving alt-left. Seems like a clear case of discrimination based on political beliefs. I hope this bar owner doesn't suffer as a cake baking business did when they were sued...
The bar owner should consider donating any tax benefit that he might receive when Trump decreases personal taxes, you wouldn't want to accept such a policy from someone you dislike so much.
Guy wearing Trump hat sues bar for refusing to serve him | New York Post
Bartenders at a West Village hot spot served up discrimination â with a liberal twist â refusing to serve a customer because he was wearing a âMake America Great Againâ hat, according to a lawsuit.
Greg Piatek, 30, an accountant from Philadelphia, claims he was snubbed and eventually 86âd by workers at The Happiest Hour on West 10th Street over his conservative fashion statement, popularized by Donald Trump on the campaign trail, he told The Post.
âAnyone who supports Trump â or believes what you believe â is not welcome here! And you need to leave right now because we wonât serve you!â Piatek claims he was told as he was shown the door by a manager.
The shake-up started when Piatek and two pals, after a visit to the 9/11 Memorial, ordered drinks at the posh tavern around 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 28.
A female bartender served Piatek a $15 jalapeño margarita and his pals beers. But when he tried to order a second round, a male bartender noticed his hat â and skipped them, he said.
One of Piatekâs pals pointed out it was their turn to be served, but the bartender scoffed. âIs that hat a joke?â the Manhattan Supreme Court suit claims.
âImmediately it clicked,â Piatek said, adding that bartenders didnât see the pro-Trump slogan until he turned his back to the bar.
âIgnoring me because Iâm wearing the hat is ridiculous,â Piatek said. âItâs really sad.â
The âflusteredâ bartender got them a second round but allegedly âslammed the drinks down.â
A third bartender also asked Piatek if his lid was a joke and shouted, âI canât believe you would support someone so terrible and you must be as terrible a person!â Piatek claimed.
âI wasnât even trying to order a drink and she said, âDonât even try to order from me. I wonât get you a drink,âââ Piatek alleged.
A manager said he spoke to the bar owner, and was told, âAnyone who supports Trump or believes what you believe is not welcome here. And you need to leave right now because we wonât serve you!â according to the suit.
Bar owner Jon Neidich did not respond to calls. A manager at the bar refused to comment.
Piatekâs lawyer Paul Liggieri called the incident âhumiliating,â saying it was his clientâs âsaddest hour.â
