Looks like one annoyed little twerp will end up costing Uno’s Chicago Grill thousands of dollars in business:

From an email from the Liberty Straight Up Group in Lake County:

Hello Patriots,

Today, after 8 months of holding our Happy Hours at Uno’s Chicago Grill, we received an e-mail from the manager stating that, due to one complaint sent to the Uno’s corporate office from a customer unhappy that a semi private event was being held in a public dining establishment, Uno’s will no longer allow our Liberty Straight Up Happy Hour to take place in their bar. The new owners will no longer allow freedom and liberty minded individuals to gather in their bar.

I could possibly understand if this group came Uno’s once a month and ransacked and looted the place they might be kicked out. But to kick a group of people out, who were bringing in large numbers of people to patronize a restaurant and bring business for their beliefs in limited government and capitalism seems counterproductive to the capitalistic business model and a bit excessive.

That said, Liberty Straight Up did not go gently into that good night before moving to their new location.  On of the leaders of the group did fire off one last parting shot at Uno’s:

(Read more after the leap)

Dear Uno’s;

For the past 8 months our group, Liberty Straight Up, has held a Happy Hour event one Friday each month, in your Merrillville Indiana location. We are a non-partisan, freedom based social organization with between 30 and 100 liberty-minded individuals filling your bar area. The management has welcomed our group by offering free snacks and double deals to encourage our continued business, until today.

Today I received an e-mail from the manager at your Merrillville location with a last minute cancellation of our March 12th Happy Hour that has been reserved and advertised for several months. The e-mail claims that your corporate office received a single complaint from a customer unhappy that a semi private event was being held in a public dining establishment. I am appalled by this action. It makes no sense. What does make sense to me, is that this action is of a political nature and your corporation holds a socialist stance against freedom based groups. Our group members will be personally insulted by this decision.

As I inform our membership of the new location for our March 12th Happy Hour, I will have no choice but to explain your decision to them. Hundreds of liberty loving folks in the Merrillville area that have attended our Happy Hours over the last eight months will learn that they are not welcome at Uno’s. I believe the repercussions of lost business from these patriots will be greater than the business you might gain from your single complainant that initiated the decision to cancel the Liberty Straight Up Happy Hour.

That bolded line pretty much says it all.
