Cook Out, one of the best fast-food joints you are probably completely unfamiliar with, is under fire by Trump nutjobs after employees refused service to Trump supporters at one of its Virginia restaurants.
When the Riggs family, a detestable looking bunch from Colonial Heights, Va., attempted to order food at the Cook Out window in their Trump garb, they were met with a harsh, hilarious denial.
From WTVR:
“As soon as we got to the window, someone inside said ‘Hell no! I’m not serving them,'” Riggs recalled.
After a few minutes of discussion behind the window, their orders were eventually taken.
“Everyone was laughing and giggling,” Riggs said about the uncomfortable situation.
She said at one point, an employee yelled out an order was ready, but when her cousin went to the window to claim the food, she was told, “Oh not for you!”
And then this beautifully ironic quote:
“Once you witness [discrimination] first hand, it’s a totally different experience,” the teenager said. “I was in a state of shock.”
Really changes your perspective, doesn’t it?
Of course, the thin-skinned Trump supporters have called for an all-out ban on Cook Out, which would suck for them but ultimately be better for me because it would mean shorter lines. Cook Out, a regional chain out of North Carolina, specializes in delicious food like this:
From Business Insider:
“I could overlook your mediocre food but not your discriminatory practices,” reads one such comment on Cook Out’s Facebook page. “Your employees are obviously ignorant when they engage in such behavior and face little to no consequences from corporate. Keep your lousy food; your piss poor corporate practices and your political activism.”
Cook Out, a chain best known for its traditional fast-food fare and milkshakes, did not immediate respond to Business Insider’s request for comment, but, in a statement to WTVR, the company said it is a “politically neutral company.”
“We welcome all customers regardless of political affiliation,” the company said in a statement. “Regarding the refusal of service at our Colonial Heights location, the situation has been resolved and was resolved that night per Cook Out policy.”
The “bigoted left” would never be caught dead at a place like Cook Out. While absolutely and unequivocally delicious, Cook Out food clogs your arteries so fast it makes McDonald’s look like Whole Foods.
Cook Out is the official fast-food restaurant of drunk college kids in North Carolina. From App State to UNCW and every small-town and major school in between. It does not cater to any political system that isn’t deep-fried and covered in honey mustard.
Why anybody would politicize Cook Out is beyond comprehension. This is the most outrageous thing to happen this election season. I won’t stand for it.
Leave Cook Out alone..

Please, can we keep the political articles to a minimum. I already am bombarded with everyone from my dog’s first owner to my annoying cousins angry Facebook posts. Let’s not ruin PGP for me too.
I agree. I promise not to share any of my political opinions that no one actually wants to hear if PGP stops trying to be political.
Can we not turn PGP into a political site? This place is my last distraction from constant annoying and shitty opinions.
As much as I’m into politics, that’s not why I come to PGP. Less political posts, more TGDAG please.
Just reminded me it’s Willsday, thank you!

For a group that says they are tired of all the “sensitive PC pussies”, Trump supporters seem to have incredibly thin skin.
I think we’ll establish your comment as the last political one. From now on, comments must reflect upon the quality of Cook Out food.
That honey mustard chicken wrap, straight fire
Dude, with a Cheerwine and seasoned fries? Send me to heaven right now.
Cheerwine…. I have dreams about it.
I had to google what Cheerwine was. Sounds pretty good though, i’ll have to try it some day.
Let’s focus on the real issue here, Cook Out often has a spatula going through the entirety of the word Cook, which made me think at first glance it was called Gook Out.
It must be nice to legally refuse to serve and therefore interact with people whose lifestyles you strongly disagree with.
Cook Out is the fucking tits. First off, when you order a cheeseburger, that slice of American has fused to the patty. It has become one with the meat. That’s how fresh it is. None of this “Well, I might be able to peel it and re-stick it properly” like these other places. Nah, dawg. Shit’s planted. And the fresh bacon on the burger? I feel my arteries clogging thinking about it. That pre-made shit is all flat and lifeless. Real bacon curls up when you cook it. And generous toppings. Shit is just spilling out as you’re trying to eat it. The onion rings can’t be beat. Crispy, not soggy. Be adventurous: get the quesadilla. Sure, it’s a burger joint, but their ‘dilla doesn’t disappoint. SWEET TEA! Sweet tea the way it’s supposed to be made. Shit could double as 10W-40. So what if one cup has as many calories as your meal? It’s fucking delicious. I didn’t have access to this glorious burger heaven in college. They built one after I had already graduated. I think hangover Sunday coulda gone differently if this nectar was available to me at the time.
*wipes tear*
Sorry guys… I know it’s only 8 AM but I’m a little emotional thinking about that burger.
Haven’t been in a while but I agree with everything you said. It was a Godsend when Richmond and Lexington got a Cook Out.
All about the Carytown Burgers and Fries.
Hell yeah!

Both amigo
While I agree with GATAgirl, I find it ironic how this most likely will go nowhere near the news but if it’s reversed and they won’t serve Bernie supporters (even if a semi joking manner as in this story) id bet MSNBC would have a conniption.
“I agree we should not use this space to express our shitty political opinions that no one else here should rightfully care about. Therefore, here is mine: “
My bad. I had to be frustrated over something since I’ve never had Cook Out before.
People down here in NC swear by Cookout. It’s good and insanely cheap, but you’re not really missing out on anything.
