The antisemitic cafe workers (Farley's East)got fired.

Regardless of your stance on the horrible situation in Gaza and Israel, these idiots needed to be fired. Nobody deserves to be treated like they treated this customer. Well done, Farley's East.

1. Good.

Their behavior was disgusting and betrayed their ignorance, especially the man in the video.

I’m sure given that this is Oakland, they won’t have any problem finding new jobs where their antisemitism will be appreciated. 🙁

2. 'Handled the situation poorly'

seems a pretty weak response to cover something of so dark a nature; but at least it's being addressed and the appropriate steps were taken.

3. The staff's behavior was atrocious.

They also say that the owner knew about the antisemitic graffiti for months and did nothing about it.

Both the owners and former employees sound like dreadful people. The video was awful - and they were proud of what they said and knew they were being recorded. But the owners sound like jerks, too.

4. Agree, the owners seem to also be terrible people.

In fact, Farley’s East seems to be a very hostile environment for Jews.
Trip Advisor should post a warning.

5. I'm not Jewish and I wouldn't want to go to this restaurant.

Based on the original video, all the employees on shift that day seemed to agree with the bigoted graffiti, which they were literally trying to protect from their customer, a Jewish woman they didn't hesitate to bully and verbally abuse. The "you're misgendering them" plaint was the icing on the cake.

Just no.

6. I don't understand the misgendering allegation against the customer.

Did they just make that up?

One of my takeaways from that clip was thinking how immature these now former employees are.
I can remember when I was that age. I would never speak to people like that, even if I disagreed with them or didn’t like them.

8. Their mean behavior to the Jewish customer really bothered me.

It was mean, bullying. They claim she harassed them before the video began, but I don't know. Based on their protecting the hate-speech graffiti and their treatment and words toward the customer, I feel as if we're looking into the faces of genuine hatred toward a Jewish person.

Accusing her of "misgendering" a person when there was zero evidence that she did so intentionally was another form of bullying.

9. Oh, that's disturbing.

If the owners knew for months... damn, that makes me really sad. And just pissed, but really so sad.

[yardwork]

10. It's what one of the fired employees said, so it could be a lie.

They're not exactly reliable. Still, the whole thing is gross.

7. Good.. Mahalo for the update! Qutoe from your link..

The following day, Farley’s released a statement saying the staff in the video were gone. “What began as a civil dialogue between our staff and a Jewish customer escalated into a situation that was shocking and unacceptable,” the statement read. “Events like these strike fear in the Jewish community and perpetuate the rise of anti-Semitism in our community and around the world.”
