When Erika Lindemyer and her husband entered the Smoothie King on Jackson Avenue in Ann Arbor, Michigan, to order a smoothie, they did not expect to be refused service because the husband was wearing a sweatshirt featuring the name of President Trump.
A video recorded by Mrs. Lindemyer shows a young woman, who appears to be a manager at the Ann Arbor Smoothie King, speaking to her colleague while attempting to justify why the employee refused service. The employee allegedly cited the sweatshirt as the reason for denying service.

In the footage, the manager appears to support the decision, claiming that it was acceptable to refuse service because the customer’s clothing displayed support for President Trump. The employee reportedly stated that serving Mr. Lindemyer made her uncomfortable.
