DC Restaurant Fires Server Over Refusal to Serve Trump Administration Officials

Beuchert’s Saloon cited a zero-tolerance policy on discrimination in dismissing Suzannah Van Rooy after her controversial remarks and unauthorized social media activity.

Suzannah Van Rooy, a part-time server at Beuchert's Saloon in Washington D.C., was fired after stating she would refuse to serve members of the Trump administration due to moral objections.
Van Rooy’s comments, made in an interview with the Washingtonian, included accusations against Trump officials and called for resistance to the incoming administration.
The restaurant condemned her statements as discriminatory and revealed she had accessed its social media accounts without permission to post offensive responses to public comments.
Beuchert’s Saloon emphasized its commitment to being a welcoming establishment, distancing itself from Van Rooy's actions and apologizing to patrons and staff offended by her behavior.
The incident highlights ongoing tensions in Washington D.C. as Donald Trump prepares to begin his second term as president in January 2025.
