A sign posted at an iHop restaurant has infuriated liberals and sparked a firestorm on social media.
One of America’s favorite national restaurants is reducing its hours and battling staff shortages.
The sign puts blame on Joe Biden and his administration’s economic policies continue to wreak havoc on businesses nationwide.
The sign reads, “Due to the fact that Biden gave out way too much free money and nobody wants to work anymore. We are forced to reduce our hours during this week.”
“Thank you for your understanding and patience,” the sign concludes.
Take a look:
Hey @IHOP , my family and I genuinely enjoy going to your restaurants. But if this is corporate policy, I guess we won't be visiting anymore. I know we're just one small family,and we don't matter, but we can't eat at a place that condones this. pic.twitter.com/wral1bw3aI

Liberals immediately lashed out, claiming the restaurant is “disrespecting” Biden.
Another person comments that Bide is “trying to protect American families.”
And now my family will find another Restaurant to eat at. We don’t have time for this kind of BS.. How pathetic that IHOP makes comments like this when Joe Biden is trying to protect American families..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This is unacceptable. IHOP won't see me either. It's a matter of principle. If a company disrespects the President then they don't want my business.

Others spoke out in support of the sign:
Don't be mad because the manager is based. It's true what he said about Biden.

Kudos to @IHOP for being truthful and not freaking woke. Think our family of 6 will stop by.

I think you should be talking to Biden and not IHOP.
Every single restaurant in the closest city to me is this way. Some are drive thru only and that’s due to not having enough staff to wait on people eating inside.

Just so happens I went to IHOP this morning. There was a 20 minutes wait for 3 or 4 groups while 10+ tables were open. They were not full. Just short staffed. So you can complain if you want but people unwilling to work because of all the free money, deferred rent etc is why.

Don't blame IHOP. They're not the ones who've printed over $3 trillion this year.
