Seattle-area restaurant refuses to serve TSA agents

[jct74]

An employee of the restaurant explains:


“My boss flies quite a bit and he has an amazing ability to remember faces. If he sees a TSA agent come in we turn our backs and completely ignore them, and tell them to leave.

Their kind aren’t welcomed in our establishment.

A large majority of our customers — over 90 percent — agree with our stance and stand by our decision.

We even have the police on our side and they have helped us escort TSA agents out of our cafe. Until TSA agents start treating us with the respect and dignity that we deserve, then things will change for them in the private sector.”

Maybe we should try this with more public employees.

Nice. By dignity does the writer mean the agent should grope the server before they place their order?

Maybe we should try this with more public employees.

I'd like to open up a restaurant and not allow public union employees in. That would hit the spot.

In before the cafe owner suddenly finds himself on the no fly list.

Racists! They obviously would have voted no on the 1964 Civil Rights Act!

there are a few times i'm proud to live in Seattle: when the paper endorsed legalization of pot this weekend, when the Huskies kick ass and at all Sounders games, and now.

stove-piping?

Around here if you see EMS or police somewhere eating, you can bet your bottom dollar they are getting their food for most likely 1/2 price.

Yee - haw! How do I +rep the restaurant owner?

[sailingaway]

I love it.

If anyone here has seen the movie "Waiting," the TSA agents should have been goated.

+1.

You nailed it. Too bad the Left doesn't understand this.

[Fredom101]

This is great! Now, can we extend the shunning to meter maids?

[ChaosControl]

Wow, something good out of Seattle? O_O

[jclay2]

Just for this, I would visit the cafe if I was ever in Seattle. Very cool.

I saw this on CNN a little while ago; the presenter was not happy about it.

Was the coffee shop that wouldn't allow police officers in Seattle?

Edit: it was Portland.

/me waits for a democrat to propose a bill stating that business owners no longer reserve the right to refuse service to anyone

[UtahApocalypse]

we should make a website:

www.NoTSAAllowed.org

Anyone up to it?

Hah! I love this idea! Starve the TSA! Want to eat? Quit your job!
