An incident at a Bojangles in Charlotte, North Carolina, following a Trump rally last week — ironically hosted at the nearby Bojangles’ Coliseum — has gained national attention after a Trump supporter’s Facebook post circulated widely online, prompting multiple reports and one shift manager parting ways with the company.

Following another jam-packed Trump rally involving about 10,000 of his supporters on Monday evening, a group of rally-goers decided to grab something to eat at a Bojangles restaurant about a 10-minute walk away. But the supporters found the restaurant’s doors locked with the explanation from several others locked outside that the employees would not serve Trump supporters. One of the people locked out took some photos of the moment and posted his account online.
