A Memphis pizza restaurant owner says he is standing by his decision to refuse service to four uniformed members of the Tennessee National Guard, a move that triggers backlash online and a boycott campaign. According to reports, the owner, Miles Tamboli, turned away the four Guard members at his restaurant. Tamboli links the refusal to the Memphis Safe Task Force, which he says is connected to his decision, and he maintains that he will not serve the troops. The situation draws criticism from some public figures, including a rebuke from a member of Congress mentioned in one report. The controversy centers on whether the restaurant’s actions should be treated as discrimination or a refusal of service based on the owner’s stated policy. Public attention escalates as the boycott spreads beyond the immediate incident. The accounts agree on the core facts: the location is Memphis, the people involved are four uniformed Tennessee National Guard members, and the owner publicly defends the refusal, citing his organization or policy as the basis for the decision.
