Vancouver restaurant manager fired, refused to serve Trump backer
The manager of a popular Vancouver, B.C., restaurant has been fired for refusing service to a supporter of President Trump.
The customer arrived at the Teahouse in Stanley Park wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat, and was asked by manager Darin Hodge to remove the lat.
Soon after that, the manager, on the job for 18 months, was let go by the Sequoia Co. which manages the restaurant, for violating its "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 bonified political party," Sequoia said in a statement.
"The Teahouse has no political, ethnic or other bias and is committed to welcoming all visitors to Vancouver and treating all our customers with respect."
It described the departed manager as a "good person" and a "big heart."
