The Space Coast Rocket reports:
Several social media post appeared yesterday from local patrons who went to Grills Seafood at the Cape Canaveral and Melbourne locations. The post all shared the same theme; being refused to be served Bud Light.
The decision seemed to be sudden and immediate as one diner described being served Bud Light at the beginning of her meal, but they would not bring the second order.
We called and spoke to the manager, Joy at the Cape Canaveral location, and she confirmed the information. “We no longer serve Bud Light,” she said. We asked her if that included all Anheuser Busch products and she stated no, only Bud Light, effective as of yesterday and it is for all 3 locations.
Read the full article.
According to the linked piece, staff at one location placed kegs of Bud Light in the sun in order to get credit from the distributor for spoilage. Which is kinda fraud-y.
The chain reportedly continues to serve the many other beers sold by Anheuser-Busch, which will really teach them a lesson.
If the chain’s name rings a bell, that’s because it appeared here in 2021 when the owner declared that Jesus told him to defy the vaccine mandate for employees.
They feel emboldened to make bigoted statements like this. They’re sending bomb threats to Budweiser factories. These people are bigots and terrorists.
