We recently wrote about The Fairfax Bar and Grill in Indiana asking people to leave who expressed their opinions about the Bud Light – Transgender social media influencer controversy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will not tolerate intolerance here<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

They posted a statement that concluded with: “Should you feel the need to discuss this matter in public you will be asked to leave. We will not tolerate intolerance here.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bar added: “”Unfortunately due to all of the bigotry and hatred that has surfaced around the Bud Light controversy any patron wanting to voice their concerns about the issue will be immediately asked to pay their bill and leave our establishment.”<\/p>\n

As it turns out, their business was severely impacted, and now they are begging customers to return. The bar has deleted their original statements but sounds like they are still reprimanding customers for expressing their views.<\/p>\n

Bar that kicked out customers after Bud Light controversy makes desperate plea to win back business<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

After telling patrons boycotting Bud Light to leave, the bar has made several statements indicating they need their clientele to return.<\/em><\/p>\n

Though it initially blasted social media users for flooding the initial statement with “blatantly transphobic, homophobic and racist comments” and claimed it was committed to not allowing “hate” at the establishment, the restaurant admitted, “With the departure of some of our regulars, we have needed new clientele, and you have answered. I’m not gonna lie, we still need more of you right now.”<\/p>\n

On Thursday night, the bar posted yet another, more conciliatory message that seemed to be welcoming people with different viewpoints on the Bud Light issue, provided they were civil.<\/p>\n

The post, which is still up on the bar\u2019s\u00a0Facebook page<\/a>, read, “A lot has been said \u2013 some correct, and some incorrect \u2013 and I want to clarify my stance. What I really want to convey is this: just be respectful. Different opinions are welcome here as long as they are delivered respectfully. We\u2019d no more want ugly, aggressive or rude interactions about which sports team someone thinks is better, than about societal issues.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

[sarc] Wow, I’m guessing many of us didn’t see that one coming. [\/sarc]<\/p>\n

An alternate approach would have been to mobilize the transgender community to “Get out there and DRINK” to show their support. The problem is that they are one-half of one percent of the U.S. population. So, until that changes The Fairfax Bar and Grill may have to kiss a lot of backsides to get their clientele back. I guess the bar owner may tolerate the intolerant if the greenbacks are good.<\/p>\n

I may have had more respect for them if they rode that horse until it died – having to close down due to a decline in business, but at least they would have stuck to their principles. Instead, it appears that they wet their finger and stuck it up in the air to judge how the political winds were blowing — and got it wrong from a business perspective.<\/p>\n

[sarc] Rumor has it that they will try to recover lost revenue by selling t-shirts based on the sign they now have hanging in the bar window. [\/sarc]<\/p>\n
