(BUSINESS INSIDER) – A San Francisco restaurant was flooded with hundreds of one-star reviews after staff refused to serve three armed police officers and asked them to leave.
The owners of Hilda and Jesse, a breakfast restaurant in North Beach, apologized for the incident after a widespread backlash.
According to a post shared by the restaurant on Instagram, three armed and uniformed police officers came on Friday.
The post said the staff asked them “politely” to leave because they felt “uncomfortable with the presence of their multiple weapons.”
The post described the restaurant as a “safe space” and said the “presence of the officers weapons in the restaurant made us feel uncomfortable.” It said asking them to go was not a “political statement.”
In a statement, the restaurant’s co-owner Rachel Sillcocks said the restaurant was a “safe space — particularly for queer and bipoc individuals.” BIPOC stands for Black, Indigenous, and people of color.
She said the police officers could have made guests as well as staff uncomfortable.
After the Instagram post was published on Saturday, the restaurant was flooded with hundreds of one-star reviews on Yelp.
