Honolulu’s Café 8 ½ made news and waves over the past few days after posting a sign to potential patrons:
Certainly a display of liberal inclusiveness and tolerance at its best. The restaurant known for its Puttanesca and “Italian Stir Fry” ended up on the receiving end of many comments after posting the sign on the premises and promoting that they posted it on Facebook. The owner is identified as Robert Warner (former stylist for San Francisco’s Vidal Sassoon as well as a restauranteur in Seattle.) Warner’s wife, Jali, was reached for comment yesterday and downplayed the homemade yellow sign:
“Robert just wants to express how much he doesn’t like Trump. If people take it personally or it hurts them, we cannot help. That’s why we say they have [a] choice if they want to come or not come. We don’t force them.”
