A Restuarant manager in Vancouver, Canada was fired Friday after refusing to serve an American tourist who walked in wearing a red Make America Great Again baseball cap.
Here’s how the Canadian Brodcasting Corporation reported the incident:
The manager of a popular Vancouver tourist restaurant has been fired after refusing service to a supporter of Donald Trump.
A man wearing one of the U.S. president's "Make America Great Again" hats was refused service at the Teahouse in Stanley Park on Tuesday by Darin Hodge.
According to the restaurant's general manager, the man was seated on the patio that evening when Hodge, the floor manager at the time, confronted him.
"[He] took over the table and requested that he take the hat off," said Andy Crimp.
"[The customer] said he had a right to wear it. [Hodge] said if you don't take the hat off, we won't serve you. And the man left."
The Sequoia Company, which runs the restaurant, says Hodge was fired for not following its "philosophy of tolerance."
He had worked at the restaurant for about 18 months, according to staff.
When contaacted later by reporters, the fired manager said he had “no regrets.”
