After Trump's re-election, though, there's been plenty of talk about the Trump resistance losing steam. "People were a lot more motivated the first time around to do those kinds of shows of passion. This time around, there is kind of a sense of defeat and acceptance," says Suzannah Van Rooy, a server and manager at Beuchert's Saloon in Capitol Hill. "But I hope that people still do stand up to this administration and tell them their thoughts on their misbehavior."
Van Rooy, for her part, is already thinking about her own red lines: "I personally would refuse to serve any person in office who I know of as being a sex trafficker or trying to deport millions of people," she says. "It's not, 'Oh, we hate Republicans.' It's that this person has moral convictions that are strongly opposed to mine, and I don't feel comfortable serving them."

According to a review of her LinkedIn page on Friday, which has since been taken down, Van Rooy listed her duties as doing daily operations, messaging strategies for the restaurant, developing relationships with influencers, and managing in-house events for political figures and VIPs.
Her page also said she worked as an organizer for Texas Democrat Beto O'Rourke's failed run for governor in 2022
Beuchert's Saloon told Fox News Digital that Van Rooy's remarks were "reprehensible" and she had been fired for violating their "zero-tolerance policy on discrimination."
Beuchert's said the former employee was a part-time server and not a manager. It put out statements on social media condemning her remarks after being made aware of them on Thursday.
"Recent comments made by a member of staff who had no authority to speak on behalf of our entire restaurant have been, quite rightly, flagged as inappropriate, hostile, intolerant, and unacceptable. This staff member does NOT speak for us as a restaurant," Beuchert's initial statement on Thursday said.
........By Friday, the restaurant said it had decided to dismiss the server because of this incident, calling her comments and subsequent behavior, "unforgivable." It also said she had signed on to the restaurant's social media accounts to speak on behalf of the restaurant without authorization.
"Not only do Ms. Van Rooy's comments clearly violate our zero-tolerance policy on discrimination, but her decision to sign into our social media accounts in the middle of the night to post her own rhetoric in wildly offensive responses to comments is a further breach of conduct and protocol. She has no authority to speak on our behalf, and her comments do not reflect the positions of over twenty other people who make up our staff," the Friday statement read.

Bartender Joseph, who's also worked at a number of DC's top restaurants and bars, voted for Kamala Harris and says he's dreading the incoming administration on a personal level. But from a bartending perspective, he sees it as good news.
In his experience, Republicans tip more and are generally lower maintenance guests than Democrats. (He makes an exception for Michelle Obama"an absolute gem.")
"I think my tip average from Republicansat least ones that I or a coworker has recognizedis close to 30 percent. With Dems, I'm surprised if it's over 20," he says. At events he's worked that are hosted by Republicans, the guests ask for no-fuss drinks like bourbon, vodka-sodas, or wine. At the Democratic events, he's seen many more substitutions and special requests.
The way he sees it, there are more effective ways to voice your political concerns that won't jeopardize your livelihood. Plus, Joseph says, "it's impossible to avoid dirty money."

You know. For research purposes.
Suzannah Van Rooy apparently doesn't even work there anymore, she a lying biatch. And she worked on Beto's failed campaign. https://t.co/wWQHA79omt pic.twitter.com/pEG6ZhYESn

Same. And I keep my politics to myself at work. Unless you know the owner really well, and have assurances on how they'll react, this is just not a smart move.Commander Gorn said:
I despise liberal politicians. However, if my work ever required them to be my customers, I'd give them the same level of professionalism as any other customer.
