The famous and well-known restaurant found itself in a difficult situation not too long ago when a patron voiced their concerns regarding particular decorations that were present in one of its Connecticut locations. An apology was sent by the company in response to this occurrence, during which they provided clarification regarding the nature of these decorations and promptly took action to resolve the matter.
Misinterpretation of the Decorations
The dispute started when a patron of a historic and well-known restaurant in Connecticut observed what seemed to be “nooses” hanging from the ceiling of the interior of the establishment. On the other hand, it was eventually discovered that these artifacts were not in fact nooses but rather wrapped ropes that were fastened to decorative pieces. The restaurant agreed that it was “completely unacceptable” for its personnel to have disregarded the potential resemblance to nooses when they were setting up the decorations. This was the case despite the fact that the business had provided this clarification.
Alfonso Robinson tweeted images of the decorations and questioned their appearance at the restaurant, which contributed to the incident gaining traction on social media. As a result, the incident acquired traction. A swift response was provided by the restaurant, which said that the “noose” adornment was, in reality, a wrapped cord from an antique soldering iron that was included in the display at the East Windsor eatery. It was reaffirmed to the general public by the company that the item had been removed.
