Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance attempted to stop by the iconic Primanti Bros. restaurant in North Versailles, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, where scores of supporters had gathered in anticipation of the visit. Upon arriving, the restaurant manager told Vance that they didn't want to hold a "campaign event" in the store, even though the same location cleared out customers to stage a photo op for Vice President Harris earlier this year.

An employee told the campaign that this was "not a campaign stop" and that "JD's not allowed in." In addition, the restaurant manager threatened to call the police if Vance entered the establishment.

Trump-Vance supporters who had gathered at the restaurant and proceeded to boo the manager after Vance was barred from entry.

Sean Logue, an attorney from the Pittsburgh area who witnessed the interaction, uploaded several videos from inside the store to social media.

He then reported that the manager called company headquarters and was told that Vance was not allowed in the building.

Vance then proceeded to meet with supporters in the parking lot, while a staffer told people inside to write down their names so that the vice presidential nominee can meet with them the next time he comes to town.

"We went in there, we paid for everybody's food, we gave them a nice tip. And of course, I told them, 'no taxes on tips" if you vote for Trump," Vance told the crowd, drawing cheers.

The Trump Campaign's had a far different experience at the restaurant when compared with the Harris-Walz Campaign, who visited the location last month. According to several patrons, restaurant staffed kicked out paying customers and replaced them with Harris supporters in an effort to make the campaign stop appear organic.

"I wanted to watch some sports and enjoy an afternoon lunch," Moon Township resident Mark Dodson told Fox News. "Around 3:30, the bartender, she goes, 'It's last call' - what do you mean last call?"

Employees then informed patrons that the restaurant was closing for a "private event," which turned out to be the arrival of Vice President Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff. The couple then proceeded to greet "patrons" and pose for photos.
