Thank you, Maxine Waters.
A man named Frank posted a video to his Twitter account Saturday night claiming he and his family were denied service at Ruby Tuesday in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina because he was wearing a “Trump – Make America Great Again” t-shirt.
Frank, his wife and 6-year-old son stopped at Ruby Tuesday in Roanoke Rapids after a 10 hour drive from Florida to grab a bite to eat. Frank said the hostesses were rude and didn’t greet them when they walked into the restaurant. He heard them mumbling something about “Trump supporters” and told him it would be a 20-30 minute wait.
Frank said there were plenty of empty tables in the restaurant and people who walked into Ruby Tuesday after him and his family were seated right away.
He decided to vent on social media.
“Cannot believe our family was denied service at Ruby Tuesday in Roanoke Rapids North Carolina because I am wearing a Trump shirt. Very sad!” Frank said in a tweet.
Frank said he doesn’t want anyone fired, he just doesn’t want this to happen again.
His wife posted photos of a bunch of empty tables in Ruby Tuesday and according to the Florida couple, people who came into the restaurant after them were seated.
@rubytuesday I guess you allow your employees to refuse service to trump supporters. My husband, @RealFrankFromFL was wearing his trump shirt, the hostess never greeted us and than minutes later saying it was a 20 minute wait. We leave and see multiple clean and dirty tables. pic.twitter.com/KKmjHNV7Yb
