She took part in a report by Washingtonian magazine about how the service industry would respond to President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s team if they patronized her place of employment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most individuals who were interviewed remained anonymous, but Suzannah Van Rooy provided her real name.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cI personally would refuse to serve any person in office who I know of as being a sex trafficker or trying to deport millions of people,\u201d the server told the outlet, as The Daily Wire previously&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/dc-restaurant-workers-say-they-wont-serve-trump-officials-or-will-make-dining-unpleasant\">reported<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s not, \u2018Oh, we hate Republicans.\u2019 It\u2019s that this person has moral convictions that are strongly opposed to mine, and I don\u2019t feel comfortable serving them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople were a lot more motivated the first time around to do those kinds of shows of passion. This time around, there is kind of a sense of defeat and acceptance,\u201d Van Rooy added. \u201cBut I hope that people still do stand up to this administration and tell them their thoughts on their misbehavior.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Beuchert\u2019s Saloon denounced Van Rooy\u2019s comments and confirmed she was no longer employed there, per&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/d-c-restaurant-server-fired-after-comments-about-refusing-service-some-trump-officials-horrified\">Fox News Digital.<\/a>&nbsp;The neighborhood restaurant and bar called her statements \u201creprehensible\u201d and \u201cunforgivable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRecent comments made by a member of staff who had no authority to speak on behalf of our entire restaurant have been, quite rightly, flagged as inappropriate, hostile, intolerant, and unacceptable. This staff member does NOT speak for us as a restaurant,\u201d Beuchert\u2019s Saloon said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beuchert&#8217;s saloon provided a follow-up after the backlash from the employee&#8217;s comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cNot only do Ms. Van Rooy\u2019s comments clearly violate our zero-tolerance policy on discrimination, but her decision to sign into our social media accounts in the middle of the night to post her own rhetoric in wildly offensive responses to comments is a further breach of conduct and protocol. She has no authority to speak on our behalf, and her comments do not reflect the positions of over twenty other people who make up our staff,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor these reasons as well as the sheer dismay and disgust we feel at her unforgivable behavior, Ms. Van Rooy has been dismissed immediately. Our staff and families (many of whom are personally offended by Ms. Van Rooy\u2019s comments about them) are still reeling from what Ms. Van Rooy said and did, and we as a restaurant are simply horrified to be associated with base prejudice.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A\u00a0Washington, D.C.-based server has been fired after proudly saying in an interview that she planned to refuse service to Trump officials.
