“(Not) Welcome To Moe’s”

“REPUBLICAN” GOVERNORS HAVE DINERS REMOVED FROM RESTAURANT

By FITSNews || We love a Moe’s Burrito.   In fact our favorite is the “Joey Bag of Donuts.”  All that meat in our mouths … mmmmm.

In addition to good food Moe’s (generally) has a good atmosphere – including the chain’s famous “Welcome to Moe’s!” greeting, offered cheerily to customers as they peruse the menu.

Apparently not everyone is welcome at Moe’s, though …

At the company’s downtown Charleston, S.C. location this week, multiple individuals were booted from the restaurant “mid-burrito” by staffers working for S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie – who appeared at the restaurant for a media event.

According to one of the individuals who was escorted from the premises by security, they were booted “on suspicion of being Democrats.”

Wait … Democrats?  Don’t they know Barack Obama is Christie’s BFF?  Or that Haley is growing Medicaid faster than Obamacare states (like Christie’s New Jersey)?

Anyway …

“The guy giving the order was a younger guy, about thirty, and I could swear that he had no eyebrows,” one of the individuals removed from the restaurant told FITS. “Not a bad looking guy, but no eyebrows.”

Ha!

According to our sources, Haley and Christie’s advisors received permission from the Moe’s manager on duty to have the four individuals removed.

Not only that, the manager refused to provide the customers with a refund for the burritos they purchased – saying they would have to “leave now” and “come back later with issues.”

What?

Sheesh …

We wonder … is Gov. Christie, the scandal-scarred chief executive of the Garden State, really that hard up for food?  Is his addiction to “om-nom-nomming” so intense as to force hard-working South Carolinians from their seats mid-bite?

Didn’t he recently have some gastric bypass surgery aimed at helping him with his “Git in Mah Belly” problem?

Or (more likely) are these “Republicans” fearful of anyone other than easily controllable mainstream media being permitted to record their public statements?

Whatever the case, as much as we enjoy Moe’s we’re taking the restaurant off of our list of frequented dining establishments – and would encourage our readers to do the same.

Obviously we believe Moe’s has the right to refuse service to anyone it chooses on any basis it pleases … but it must then deal with the consequences of its actions in the broader marketplace.  And while we don’t expect our calling attention to this shameless example of pandering to have any sort of seismic impact on the company’s bottom line, in this economy every penny counts …

UPDATE:  Moe’s corporate says it’s investigating the incident …

UPDATE II: We’ve identified the “Republican” operative responsible …

UPDATE III: Well, well, well … the Moe’s in question is ownedhttps://www.fitsnews.com/2014/09/17/nikki-haleys-burrito-gate-comes-full-circle/ by a Haley campaign donor and political appointee.

That’s some grade A bullshit right there. If you’re going to have some sort of media event then reserve the damn restaurant and only allow people that you’re OK with in during those times. Showing up and having paying customers kicked out mid-lunch? No immediate refund? And the manager thought this was a great idea?

Wonder what corporate thinks of this?

Story is absolutely true. The people that were kicked out were my friends. I was outside protesting Gov Christie at the time, and saw them being ejected. They then immediately filled me in on what happened. I also went back with the one quoted above to complain, and the manager on shift (who was not the manager who kicked them out) corroborated the whole story, and gave us both free burritos with his apologies. He said he tried to convince his superior not to kick them out in the first place. But such is the power of political staffers.

I highly doubt this came from Moe’s corporate or that their corporate knew anything about this. In fact, based on what I have seen on how their corporate operates, Moe’s corporate is going to be pretty pissed if this is true. Have you contacted them for comment?

This Boz (Buz) NEVER advocates boycotts and NEVER abides by them. I love to eat at Chik-Fil-A, Cracker Barrel and other oft-boycotted places. I ate at a Subway in the local Walmart yesterday. If they have eats in the new Hobby Lobby when it opens in MB, I’ll fucking eat there. I don’t have to agree with anybody’s politics to eat their food. Fuck that. And fuck you, you ignorant shithead.

You were one of the most vocal advocates of the biker boycott in MB. Liar.

Buz Martin September 18, 2014 at 12:40 pm

NOT TRUE! I practically begged all the biker groups not to boycott MB, because it hurt the businesses that catered to them more than it did the ones who did not. That seemed obvious to me. The bikers didn’t know, if there were not from here, that most business owners on the south end of MB do not live in the city and cannot vote there. Most of the bikers didn’t care about all that. They thought the boycott would work. Did it? I don’t know. But the helmet ban, etc., sure as hell did help Murrells Inlet.
Anyway, NO, I did not advocate that boycott in any way. More bullshit from another professional bullshitter. Or maybe the same one.

BoycottMoesChas September 17, 2014 at 12:23 pm

It should be taken out on the independent operator, not Moe’s corporate. Corporate has already reached out to one of the people who was kicked out to find out what happened. This is the fault of the local Moe’s. The whole reason the event was held there is because the franchise owner is a big donor to GOP in this state. It was a kind of kick-back for him.

Reply
Tom September 17, 2014 at 12:33 pm

Could not disagree more. If Moe’s corporate takes no action against its franchisee, its acquiescence indicates support. There is a simple answer for Moe’s corporate; publicly denounce the actions of its franchisee. Otherwise the actions of one will affect all with whom he is associated, which is how markets work. As a business owner, I would fire an employee who allowed his political actions to interfere with the operation of my business.

Reply
Tom September 17, 2014 at 12:18 pm

Are you just making this stuff up as you go along? The people who were forced out are the ones who were denied the right to peaceably assemble. While you have no evidence of your allegations, no where does the constitution guarantee you or anyone else the right to assemble in a public location and exclude everyone who disagrees with you from that location. I guess what you are saying is politicians should have the right to make sure no one will ask them embarrassing questions.

Typical Republican attitude. Don’t ask me things I don’t want to answer.

Reply
Bible Thumper September 17, 2014 at 12:59 pm

You are full of nonsense. It is not about disagreeing with someone. Obviously they were being disruptive or preventing others from hearing the speakers, then they can be removed. Constitutionally. It happens all the time. The individuals removed do not have a case in any court.
It is not a public location. It belongs to the franchisee. Even in a public place, a group can get a permit to reserve it for a specific purpose. Some other group can’t then prevent that use. What value is the right to assemble if others can disrupt its purpose?

Relating my own experience would serve no purpose, since you could rightly suspect I made them up, but their are multiple instances where such tactics have been reported. I don’t know the particulars of this incident, but can use critical thinking and raise a reasonable doubt. Haley and Christie fielded several difficult questions about bridge gate

WOW, Moe’s!!!! SHAMEFUL! Governor’s Nikki Haley and Chris Christie are having a campaign event at the Moe’s on King and Calhoun St. and their people just had management lie to us and kick us out because I happened to have a Democratic Party bag as a book bag; which I didn’t even remember since I’ve used it for so long. Needless to say, I realized it, called the campaign guy out who had everyone glaring at us for about 20 minutes, and then proceeded to inform ALL of the media inside about what was going on. Needless to say, they refused to refund any money, told us the Owner wasn’t there, which the media pointed out he was, and would not even look me in the face.

Forgive Buz.He once walked on his cane from his mommys house in M/urrels Inlett in a Big Lebowski stained bowling shirt and in high heel shoes all the way to MB and asked the mayor to quit at a city council meeting.While the mayor and city council members laughed him out of the room he drooled and sweated profusely while stammering being escorted out. GOOGLE IT.

You have embellished this bullshit story considerably over the years. It’s starting to be more fun to read now. I Googled it, though, and got: Tomas Gordon Davis and Bob Hall are both brain-damaged drunk-driving potential murderers, and bullshit artists of the first magnitude who are joined at the hip in their perpetually dysfunctional “love-hate” relationship and their Buz Martin Derangement Syndrome. Tom Davis is a several-times jailbird now, too, having recently added Hit and Run and destruction of Police and FD equipment to his long list of offences. Y’all’s game is getting gamier by the day.

Smirks September 17, 2014 at 4:09 pm

So they got pissed and called them out after they were being kicked out?

Wow, how outrageous for someone to get upset over being obviously wronged.

Buz Martin September 17, 2014 at 7:43 pm

See Will’s update, above. Turns out he IS a big contributor to Nikki, as well as one of her political appointees.

So what? Tom Ervin’s wife has been a big contributor to Vincent Sheheen and the SCDP. What is your point?

NIKKI HALEY’S “BURRITO-GATE” COMES FULL CIRCLE
I posted links for Corey Craigs being removed from Moe’s and previously being thrown out for protesting before.

euwe max September 18, 2014 at 4:10 am

There may be links there, but there’s no evidence that previous performance is proof of future profits.

Facking IDIOT!!! NOWHERE has it been stated that they were disruptive in any way, nor has any of your blathering proven that to be so. IT’S JUST SHIT YOU ARE SAYING! And who gives a flying fuck about the anecdotal NON-EVIDENCE of your own past experience, true or not. I mean, seriously, who even gives a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut about you in general, you ignorant, obnoxious fuckwit?

Ok, so no more Moe’s for me. They might decide to kick me out in mid-meal, because they don’t like my politics. I am sure there are other restaurants who will fulfil my Taco cravings.

Obviously they were being disruptive

Perhaps talking in the same tone and loudness of voice in the presence of disagreement is what you mean by “disruptive?”

(Columbia AP ) Bruce Smith “There were protesters across the street in Charleston as well,…”

Not hard to speculate that a few would sneak in to Moe’s.

euwe max September 17, 2014 at 11:24 pm

It’s not hard to speculate that a few are Republicans being planted as Democrats to make them look bad, but I’m not stupid enough to choose easy over fact.

Bible Thumper September 18, 2014 at 12:38 am

I found the facts. See my post in
NIKKI HALEY’S BURRITO “BOUNCER” IDENTIFIED

I identify Corey as a previous protester, who has been thrown out of a CofC basketball game.

Charleston protesters snuck into Moe’s in Columbia?

NIKKI HALEY’S BURRITO “BOUNCER” IDENTIFIED

I identified Corey Craig as the person thrown out of Moe’s and that he protested and was thrown out of a basketball game before for opposition to McConnell. He was hoping to cause trouble at Moe’s.

How were they being disruptive if they were just eating? And only one of them is a Democrat. One doesn’t affiliate. And one spends half his time complaining about Democrats.

I’m just so glad Obama, and his force of constant vacationers – that spend billions having fun – never do Crap like this.

I bet if they did you vigilant Watchdogs – led by hawk-eye and chief muckraker FITS- w/ faithful sidekick, and also Speedo-clad, Boz – would clamp down on it, posthaste.

You defenders of virtue don’t let anything get by you. You’re fine citizens…..of Tehran or Moscow…LMAO…

PS: Is Tom Ervin encouraging violence and bullying against women. Sounds likes FITS agrees…Got a good expose up about it at SCPSD…Check it out, brothers and sisters, who like political dialogue.

Still obsessing over me in a Speedo. You are a sad, sad, little man. I have not looked good in a Speedo since 1983, and was always high as a Georgia Pine when I was foolish enough to go out in them. All I did was attract sad little gay fuckers like you.

I was working at that moes the day of the event, and I’m not saying that the kicking out of the 4 individuals was justified, but all of them were done eating for at least 20 minutes and not “mid-burrito”. They should have been able to stay as long as they liked since they were paying customers, but don’t sensationalize the story to get more jimmies rustled. Also neither governor ate there, so Chris Christies “get in mah belly” problem is still in check… For as far as I know.

Reply
euwe max September 17, 2014 at 10:11 pm

Not only that, the manager refused to provide the customers with a refund for the burritos they purchased

So, “as far as you know” they should not have been reimbursed.

Quote from the article:

“Obviously we believe Moe’s has the right to refuse service to anyone it chooses on any basis it pleases”

Are you kidding? Are you aware of the Civil Rights Act?

Civil Rights Act 1964, Title II

Outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion or national origin in hotels, motels, restaurants, theaters, and all other public accommodations engaged in interstate commerce; exempted private clubs without defining the term “private”.
