Charlotte Bojangles’ locked out Trump supporters after MAGA rally; chain apologizes
Bojangles’ apologized Tuesday for one of its restaurants locking out supporters of President Donald Trump after his appearance at a large rally in Charlotte Monday night.
The Bojangles’ restaurant location, on Monroe Road in Charlotte, is just a 10-minute walk from the Bojangles’ Coliseum where Trump spoke to more than 10,000 people. The venue for the “Make America Great Again” rally was full, with attendees without seats watching on a big screen in the parking lot.
Bojangles’ is based in Charlotte.
Now some Trump supporters say they’ll boycott the chicken restaurant chain after being refused service even though they’d arrived nearly an hour before closing time.
The head of the chain’s communications told The Charlotte Observer in an interview Tuesday the restaurant was likely overwhelmed with customers following Trump’s event.
Still, he apologized. He did not confirm whether the people locked out of the restaurant were given any explanation for its sudden closure.
Time to call in a flood of rat and roach sightings, Mr. Bojangles….
Is that because people who eat fried chicken get triggered easily?
It’s chicken.
Aunt Jamima was out front swinging her rolling pin at anyone at the door wearing a Trump hat too.
Give me a break, “overwhelmed by the crowd” when you are within 10 minutes on foot of the stadium area and not only have regular large crowds but also count on sports/concert large crowds to keep the lights on.
“The head of the chain’s communications told The Charlotte Observer in an interview Tuesday the restaurant was likely overwhelmed with customers following Trump’s event.”
And I am Cleopatra Queen of the Nile
Under similar circumstances, WWDD (what would democrats do)?
Burn it.
1) manager fined $1000 by franchise then donated to charity
2) owner fined $10,000 by franchise then donated to charity
3) 10,000 free coupons issued by franchise to local schools to give out to good students or ones that have parents too shitty too feed them. (not the teachers)
So, the owner missed out on a huge payday because one of his fucktarded employees decided to be a cunt that day. We know how that’s gonna turn out.
Probably the worst that will happen is their Yelp rating will go down in flames.
If they’d pissed of the Dems, probably the building would.
And there’s THIS from their Facebook site: “To all our Bojangles’ fans. An unfortunate incident happened at our store near Bojangles’ Coliseum earlier this week. A manager made a bad decision to close the dining room. We apologize. That manager is no longer employed by Bojangles’. At a different store, a customer posted a sign that is not true. We welcome ALL customers.”
They’re getting blasted by the readers and I think I’ll just hop over there and pile on.
They decide what we’re allowed to say, think, and wear. But President Trump is the tyrant. Just wanna make sure we all understand.
“The head of the chain’s communications told The Charlotte Observer in an interview Tuesday the restaurant was likely overwhelmed with customers following Trump’s event.”
I know Bojangles is probably just covering their six, and the excuse sounds weak, but consider this: the article claims that over 10,000 people were at the rally. Bojangles Coliseum only has 8,600 seats. No major league professional sports team plays there. It’s likely that they genuinely have never seen that many people there before.
If they want to stick with the “overwhelmed” excuse, fine. They’re just admitting that Trump packed that arena to overflowing, which is something no sports team or rock band has ever done before.
The Original Mr. Bojangles (who danced a lick) was probably a Republican, if the Jim Crow Democrats let him vote.
There are lies, damned lies, and then there are leftists….
Overwhelmed by… stupidity.
POPEYES… here I come!
Mmmmmm, tastes like stupid!
What the hell is a “Bojangles’ and does it serve red beans and rice.
Don’t need to pile on; just announce they’re affiliated with Chik-fil-a and they’re screwed.
