Staff Reports
A waitress in the D.C. area learned the hard way that mixing politics with customer service can lead to a very swift boot out the door. Suzannah Van Rooy, formerly of Beuchert’s Saloon on Capitol Hill, took it upon herself to proclaim that she wouldn’t serve anyone from the incoming Trump administration because, apparently, their political beliefs didn’t align with her own moral compass. Such a revelation has certainly raised eyebrows—not to mention some giggles among those familiar with the concept of being a professional server.
Van Rooy’s stance is a classic demonstration of the modern-day left’s approach to dissent. Instead of offering her services to all patrons visiting the restaurant, she insists that serving a Trump official would simply be too dicey for her delicate sensibilities. In a riveting display of culinary elitism, she suggested that anyone with “moral convictions that are strongly opposed” to hers simply doesn’t deserve a meal. Imagine the audacity! A part-time waitress fancying herself as a social conscience on Capitol Hill, refusing to serve anyone she judges unworthy. Talk about extravagant entitlement.
The restaurant swiftly responded to Van Rooy’s antics by firing her outright, citing a “zero-tolerance policy on discrimination.” In an age where businesses often cower in the face of drama, Beuchert’s Saloon took a stand for common sense. They made it abundantly clear that Van Rooy’s comments were the ramblings of an individual rather than the collective voice of the establishment. After all, what good does an eatery do if half its staff are playing the moral police while the other half just wants to serve burgers without a side of political agenda?
Interestingly, Van Rooy isn’t just a server; she’s got a history of aligning herself with high-profile Democrats, including a campaign stint for Beto O’Rourke’s unsuccessful run for governor in Texas. What better qualifications to throw plates at people she doesn’t agree with, one might wonder? It’s a curious irony that a woman so outspoken against perceived discrimination ended up being booted for actual discrimination. But then again, the modern liberal’s rulebook has all sorts of double standards.
We are finished with the bullshit of identity politics. What do they think this damn election was about. These leftists never, ever learn!

In a twist that reads like a parody of a social media saga, Van Rooy also reportedly accessed the restaurant’s social media accounts to further push her anti-Trump narrative, completely ignoring protocol and common courtesy. Could it be that in the world of activism, even social media etiquette takes a back seat to self-righteousness? To top it all off, Beuchert’s made it incredibly clear they do not condone her behavior, stating they are a “safe space for all,” which sounds great—until one realizes that “all” excludes those aligned with the current administration.
While the left circles the dining room wagons in solidarity with a waitress who prefaced service with a litmus test for political ideology, Beuchert’s Saloon has managed to position itself as a beacon of civility amidst the fray. They aim to welcome everyone—much to the dismay of the social justice warriors out there. It seems there’s still hope for restaurateurs wanting to focus on, you know, food rather than Activism 101. In the world of hospitality, the main course should always be service, not personal politics.
