I was offended at a restaurant today [View All]

[Little-Jen]

I went out to eat last night with a couple of friends. It was an nice place, with pretty good food for the value, so I can't complain about that. The problem was my waiter. To be perfectly honest with you, he wasn't rude or anything. He did his job the way it was supposed to be done, but it was what he was wearing. I didn't notice it at first, but my friend Marleen pointed out that he was wearing a Ronald Reagan watch, and apon closer inspection, there it was. Now, this woman was very upset. She lost her brother to AIDS in the 80's, because of Reagan's policies, and this waiter has the balls to wear that in a restaurant where people with different views come in to eat every day? Seriously, we would have left had we noticed it before our food came. I was going to bring it up to him, but decided not to. First of all, I can't understand how this guy (who was about 30), who was clearly not rich, could idolize Reagan. But that's besides the point. Why was he wearing this in a public restaurant, and why was his manager letting him? I really want to report this, because I go to eat there often (every two weeks or so). Can anything be done? Is it even legal for him to be expressing his views while dealing with the public? Any advice?
