Restaurant Tells American Legion Officers to Remove Vests

it has long been my policy, as a rider, if one rider cannot wear their cut at an establishment, then no rider should wear their cut at an establishment. This is purely out of respect for those fellow riders who are being singled out.

Yes the establishment has the right to refuse service to anyone and set a code for which patrons would need to abide in order to use the establishment. As well the patrons have a right not to use the establishment.

Locally, there is a huge push on the military bases to not allow cuts/colors while on base, or a select list of rider groups. Now notably NIS singled these groups out because of their affiliation and suspected activities. However, the reason they are prohibited, to me, is not so important as the fact they are prohibited. To me it would be insulting to another rider if I wore my cut where they could not. And in fact I do not. To be more precise as the former Security Officer/Sgt. At Arms of a riding organization, I did not allow any of my fellow riders to wear cuts wear it was prohibited by some.

I think that boycotting is a way to send the message that you do not agree with the policy, but only if done in mass.

Respect is a two way street, you have to give it to get it.

Dave and buster can go take a flying triple you know what. They lost me as a customer, regardless of "apology". Apologies after the fact is nothing but hypocrisy.

If this is true and accurate, then it's official - I'm living in a Mike Judge movie.
