Tom Morello upset with treatment at top Seattle cafe
Rage Against The Machine star Tom Morello is raging against the staff of a Seattle, Washington restaurant after he and his friends were refused entry after a gig on Friday night (26Sep14).
The guitarist was turned away from The 5 Point Cafe after performing with his former Audioslave bandmate Chris Cornell at the 15 Now benefit event nearby, and he was not happy.
Taking to Twitter.com, he urged followers to "spread the word",
writing, "Five Point restaurant in Seattle is the worst. Super rude
& anti-worker. S**ttiest doorman in the Northwest. P**ck."
His angry tweet prompted a response from the cafe's owner, David
Meinert, who took to Facebook and stated, "For the record, Tom
Morello, The 5 Point is totally pro worker. Sorry if you had an
issue with our staff, but typically our staff is awesome, and when
they are not, it's usually a reflection of the customer. Act like a
p**ck = get treated like a p**ck.
"Rock stars don't get special treatment at The 5 Point. We couldn't
give less of a s**t."
He later added, "Turns out Tom and his crew didn't get let in as
the place was at capacity and there was a line. No one was being
let in. According to our doorman, who I totally trust, Tom and his
crew were all totally rude."
