Restaurant manager fired after refusing to serve customer wearing MAGA hat.

The manager of a popular restaurant in Vancouver, Canada, was fired after he told a customer

to remove his "Make America Great Again" cap or he would refuse to serve him.

Darin Hodge, the former manager of the Teahouse in Stanley Park, told Global News he stood

by his decision to ask the man to take off the cap saying the hat represented "racism,

bigotry, Islamophobia, misogyny, white supremacy, (and) homophobia."

"As a person with a strong moral backbone, I had to take a stand against this guest's

choice of headwear while in my former place of work.

Absolutely no regrets," he said in a written statement to Global News.

The hats were made popular during Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.

Eva Gates, of the Sequoia Group which owns the Stanley Park Tea House, confirmed to Global

News that the incident happened on Tuesday.

"A gentleman came in wearing a hat that was a 'Make America Great Again' hat,

and our manager went up to the gentleman and asked him to take off his hat, that he wouldn't

serve him with that hat on," she said.

"And the gentleman said that he had a right to wear that hat.

And [the manager] refused to serve him if he wouldn't take off his hat, and so the

customer had to leave," she continued.

The company called Hodge a "good person with a big heart and a right to his personal

beliefs," but he was terminated for "violating the company's philosophy of tolerance."

The staff told CBC News that Hodge was employed with the restaurant for about 18 months.

Last week, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders and her family were booted from the

Red Hen in Lexington, Va., after the owner of the establishment told her to leave because

she worked for President Trump.

"Her actions say far more about her than about me," she tweeted.

"I always do my best to treat people, including those I disagree with, respectfully and will

continue to do so."

You ruin everything.

Look at this copper hat full of magic.

- Hi.

- We did this.

(laughs)

I hate you.

(upbeat music)

- So I actually wound up leaving and going home

a day earlier than everyone else.

- [Camera Operator] We have to say good bye

to the beautiful Chantelle after this evening.

- Because, I had bought very expensive tickets

to a Lorde concert over a year ago.

Lorde is like one of my ultimates.

- Chantelle sent a long email to everyone being like,

Lorde is meant most to me since the day I was born.

Ever since I was a child.

- I did.

- Devon was like, it's fine, just write an email

to the girls, let them know, and then I was like,

okay, let me write this email and Kristen's like

we already know Devon told us.

(laughs)

So to kind of send me off we went to Arnaud's

which is another classic, iconic, New Orlean's place.

Not only is Arnaud's just a classic place

with good food, they're celebrating 100 year anniversary.

And so we went there, ate, drank, got bananas foster

again.

- We're doing it.

Kind of.

(cheers and applause)

(upbeat music)

- [Camera Person] Potatoes.

- My little potato.

- [Camera Person] Oh wow that's really hot.

- That's really good.

(laughs)

(pulsing music)

(jazzy music)

- [Camera Person] Preston what are you eating right now?

- I'm eating the chicken with garlic sauce.

I was gonna get the filet mignon,

Jen talked me out of it, best choice I've ever made.

Like top three choices of all time.

- I've been a vegetarian for eight or nine years now.

When I heard that we were going to New Orleans

I was stoked because I've never been there before

and I've always wanted to go.

And two, I was like, oh but what am I gonna eat there?

I've never even been to the south.

So I've only heard things and for the most part

they don't seem super vegetarian friendly.

- Now we have alligator sausage,

cheers.

- [Camera Person] What's it like?

- Yeah, just like strong sausage.

Potent sausage.

- I love a bold sausage.

(laughs)

- All that to say, New Orleans did not disappoint me.

New Orleans delivered.

My soup is delicious, it's a little potato soup.

I got the soup du jour.

- [Kristen] Oh, you're a lady du jour.

- Lady du jour with the soup du jour.

- [Kristen] Oh.

- Caesar salad is good, it's my favorite staple.

Then I got some sauteed mushrooms and I didn't now

that they would have a crispy Parmesan on top of it.

- The meal's almost done.

It's absolutely delicious.

We had a great time.

The only thing left is our desserts.

And Kristen also has to finish her wine.

- Also we have a tour after this.

- We have a tour after this.

- We have a tour?

- I have to say,

- A tour de force?

- A tour de force.

Lance Armstrong, no that's Tour Du France.

(laughs)

- So this restaurant is massive.

It's not just like, welcome to Chili's.

- 38,000 square feet, we're gonna be here til September.

- [Man] One more time.

- 38,000 square feet.

- [Camera Person] And how many square feet is this

so we have an idea of what's to come.

- So we have 38 more of these.

(laughs)

Dead.

- So we're going on this tour.

Each room has it's own vibe,

which is like bucket list for Chantelle

at one point in time was to have a house

and every room be a different theme.

So the whole time I'm just like wait,

this is gorgeous, I'm loving every second of this.

- [Camera Person] Oh, woo, New Orleans.

- Did you scream show me your legs?

- [Camera Person] I said woo, New Orleans.

- Oh.

- [Camera Person] Show me your legs.

I'm about to lose my mind.

This is like the aesthetic

you were going for in your wedding.

It's uncanny.

- Yes it's making sense now.

- [Guide] Anyone know the name of this room?

- [Woman] This is the gold room.

- [Guide] This is the gold room.

- Why is this called the gold room?

Just 'cause it's gold?

(laughs)

- Yeah.

(laughs)

- We're making our way down a hallway

to one room, we took our first steps into this room

and it was cold.

And it's just kind of like, was a little dark

and like almost damp feeling and we're like, wait,

this is kind of weird.

- No this was originally living quarters

for the original family that owned Arnaud's.

The Cazenave family.

- Someone asked our tour guide, have you ever heard

a ghost before?

Do you have any haunted stories here?

And he was like oh yeah.

- It's definitely haunted,

I know first hand.

(laughs)

- Wait, wait, wait, tell us Auggie.

Tell us these ghost stories.

Tell us.

- So. - [Devon] Yes.

- I have one particular story that happened many,

many years ago about being a manager.

I was making my rounds at the end of the night.

I had my little routine and I would go to this room

and the next room and the next room

and leave the main hallway on and then this particular night

I did my routine and as I made my way back on this side

there was lights that were back on.

I was the only one in the restaurant.

And I was walking down this hallway

and at the end of the hallway there's a mirror

that's on the wall, I see a white sheet dangling

about four and a half to five feet in mid air

following behind me.

(gasps)

It didn't take me very long to run down the hall

and leave the rest of the lights on.

- Okay, that's not the water heater.

(laughs)

- It actually happened right here,

right here is where it happened.

- [Woman] Who do you think it was?

- And that was the mirror that, yeah.

- Shook.

- [Camera Person] I'm shook.

- Shook.

- So we walked into this room that was for sure haunted

and then we're like, oh next room.

Overall, New Orleans food scene has so much more

than I ever could have imagined.

And I feel bad for just assuming that it was one type

of food and nothing else.

There was so much here and it's all within the same city

within blocks of each other.

So it really is pretty cool.

(upbeat music)

(whooshes and squeaks)

Restaurant Manager Kicks Out Customer In MAGA Hat, Realizes Big Mistake Too Late - Duration: 4:32.

Restaurant Manager Kicks Out Customer In MAGA Hat, Realizes Big Mistake Too Late.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was recently kicked out of a restaurant in Lexington, Virginia

just because she worked for the President.

If that sounds stupid, then that's just the start.

Congresswoman Maxine Waters has now called for anyone associated with the President to

be harassed, and a circle formed around them to let them know they're not welcome.

This kind of behavior has led to more Trump supporters being thrown out of restaurants.

A man by the name of Darin Hodge decided he was going to take matters into his own hands

when Trump supporters walked into a popular restaurant he was the manager at in Vancouver.

Darin told the Trump supporter to take off his Make America Great Again cap if he wanted

to be served in the restaurant.

When the patron declined, Darin refused to serve him.

Hodge was later fired.

The owner of the restaurant told the press Darin was fired because he didn't follow

the companies "Philosophy of tolerance."

Doesn't that sound familiar?

Tolerance?

Liberals claim to be the most tolerant people.

They preach their tolerance to everyone else except themselves.

Practice what you preach doesn't sit well with the left.

Hodge had worked at the restaurant, the Teahouse in Stanley Park, for 18 months.

In a statement to Global News, Hodge said he would do it again.

"I stand by my decision to ask the patron to remove his hat.

The MAGA hat has come to symbolize racism, bigotry, Islamaphobia, misogyny, white supremacy,

homophobia.

As a person with a strong moral backbone, I had to take a stand against this guest's

choice of headwear while in my former place of work," he said.

Following the incident, a Yelp review page for the Teahouse in Stanley Park was flooded

with comments from Trump supporters who praised the firing and others who cheered on Hodge."

Darin thought he was a macho man for refusing to serve a Trump supporter.

He even made it clear that he was proud of what he did, and would do it again.

Don't be a Darin.

Don't lose your job because you can't seem to do your job for an hour and make a

decent tip off a Trump supporter.

That's just ridiculous.

"As a person with a strong moral backbone, I had to take a stand against this guest's

choice of headwear while in my former place of work.

Absolutely no regrets."

But the Sequoia Group of Restaurants, which owns the Teahouse, said Mr. Hodge's refusal

of service amounted to a violation of the company's "philosophy of tolerance."

"Sequoia does not support intolerance of any kind, and it is because of these principles

that we cannot discriminate against someone based on their support for the current administration

in the United States or any other bona fide political party," a spokesperson said in

a statement.

The incident comes days after White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was

forced to leave a restaurant in Virginia, due to what the owner said was her involvement

in an "inhumane and unethical" Trump administration"

Moral backbone?

Refusing to serve someone in a restaurant because you believe differently than them

when it comes to politics isn't having a moral backbone.

Darin, what you're essentially saying is "you're the wrong color.

Therefore you can't eat here."

You're simply bringing back segregation in the name of political disagreement.

If you enjoy living that way, then go live it at home, and leave it out of the public

life.

We got rid of the Nazi's once, and we're not afraid to do it again.

The Nazi party did everything in their power to undermine and completely alienate their

opponents.

Once they took power, you know exactly what they did.

This is the same path the left is headed down, and they don't even see it.

Well, they might see it, and won't admit that they're the ones who're the real

bigots.

Intolerance has no place in this world.

The left is just as guilty of it as anyone else is.

This is evidence that the Trump derangement syndrome is in full effect all over North

America.

The left has become so unhinged that they can't stand seeing the sight of a Trump

supporter.

We hope Mr. Hodge learned his lesson.

From the looks of his statement, he probably won't, and will be fired again shortly.

Happy Gathering Chinese restaurant in Cardiff faces major fine - Duration: 2:29.

  A Chinese restaurant in Cardiff faces a major fine after it sold rice containing egg despite being told it was for a person with an egg allergy

  Directors of the Happy Gathering restaurant in Cowbridge Road East, Canton , appeared at Cardiff Magistrates' Court on Friday and pleaded guilty to a trading standards offence

  The court heard that an investigation was launched by Cardiff council's food safety department to assess food providers and their ability to exclude certain foods from their recipes when asked to do so

 On January 17, 2017, officers made a request for special fried rice from Happy Gathering with a note asking for egg to be omitted from the meal due to the buyer having an egg allergy

 When the rice was analysed it was found to contain 88mg of egg white protein.  The restaurant was then visited by officers who spoke to the managers to explain their obligations when it came to their customers' allergy needs

 Another test was purchased on May 2, 2017, with an order made for special fried rice without egg, due to the customer having an egg allergy

When this was tested the rice was found to contain egg white protein of 20mg.  At the court hearing, the director of Orchard Falls Ltd, which owns Happy Gathering, Kin Wai Chan, pleaded guilty on behalf of the company to operating a food business which place unsafe food on the market

 District Judge Bodfan Jenkins adjourned the case for sentencing at the same court on August 3

Police: Man Threw Chicken Feces at Red Hen Restaurant During Protest - Duration: 1:57.

Reginald Scott See was arrested and charged with both littering and disorderly conduct for allegedly throwing chicken excrement at the Red Hen restaurant

 The 51-year-old Martinsburg, West Virginia, resident showed up to demonstrate his dissatisfaction with the restaurant that ejected Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on June 22

Server Foley-Schultz posted on Facebook at the time, gloating that he had "just served Sarah huckabee sanders for a total of 2 minutes before my owner kicked her out along with 7 of her other family members," a claim he later amended

 See joined numerous other demonstrators outside the establishment. See allegedly slung gobs of chicken feces and straw, but the protest was otherwise classified as "semi-peaceful" by local authorities despite some "shouting

"  Protesters were not the only ones with harsh words for The Red Hen. President Donald Trump roundly criticized the restaurant in a tweet, writing, "The Red Hen Restaurant should focus more on cleaning its filthy canopies, doors and windows (badly needs a paint job) rather than refusing to serve a fine person like Sarah Huckabee Sanders

I always had a rule, if a restaurant is dirty on the outside, it is dirty on the inside!"  Stephanie Wilkinson, the owner who asked Sanders to leave, later resigned from the Main Street Lexington business group "for the continued success of Main Street Lexington," according to group president Elizabeth Branner
