JD Vance, the Republican pick for vice president, may have missed out on a Pittsburgh staple Saturday after he was initially turned away from the Primanti Bros. in North Versailles, but it seems there\u2019s no hard feelings.<\/p>\n<p>Photos and videos posted to social media, including by a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/GaryGrumbach\/status\/1840078721811919254\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reporter from NBC News<\/a>, show Vance interacting with a small crowd outside the sandwich shop after his surprise visit went awry.<\/p>\n<p>The NBC reporter wrote on X, formerly Twitter, \u201ca restaurant worker told the press that cameras were not allowed and they did not want a \u2018campaign event,\u2019\u201d leading Vance to interact with voters in the parking lot, instead.<\/p>\n<p>Despite some online outrage, including calls to boycott Primanti\u2019s, Vance left on a conciliatory note.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe paid for everybody\u2019s food, we gave them a nice tip and of course, when I gave a nice tip, I said no taxes on tips,\u201d Vance said, referring to a proposal favored by both presidential candidates. \u201cIt\u2019s all right, don\u2019t hold it against (the worker). She just got a little nervous, but it\u2019s a great local business. Let\u2019s keep on supporting it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Primanti\u2019s CEO Adam Golomb also downplayed the situation in an email to TribLive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout any advance notice, today\u2019s campaign stop caused some momentary confusion for our staff,\u201d Golomb said. \u201cHowever, Senator Vance and his team were welcomed into our restaurant shortly after and engaged with our guests inside and on the property.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A follow-up question about whether Vance ordered a sandwich was not immediately answered.<\/p>\n<p>In August, the chain allowed the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz campaign to reserve its location in Moon Township. Online rumors swirled that the event was staged, with white vans full of actors being brought in to play diners.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snopes.com\/news\/2024\/08\/22\/harris-restaurant-paid-actors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Snopes investigated<\/a> these claims with help from a TribLive reporter who was at the restaurant that day, finding no \u201ccredible evidence of involvement\u201d from paid actors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-style: italic;\">Jack Troy is a TribLive reporter covering the Freeport Area and Kiski Area school districts and their communities.
