Waiter was fired from a restaurant in Moscow for bringing lard to Muslims

A waiter at the Moscow restaurant "Taras Bulba" lost his job due to an incident involving lard served to Muslim visitors. This was reported by the publication "Podyom".

As the mother of the fired employee explained, her son acted without any malicious intent. The restaurant has a practice of serving free treats to guests who have not yet placed an order.

"It's a tavern after all, lard dominates there because it's Ukrainian cuisine, borscht, everything is made with lard, lots of pork. The guests weren't dressed in any particular way, there were no preliminary conversations about Muslims coming, nobody warned my son," the woman explained.

According to her, when the waiter put the dish on the table, the visitors expressed outrage upon discovering pork. The young man approached them and explained that it was a compliment from the chef.

The former employee's mother claims that her son was required to apologize, after which he had to leave his position at the establishment.
