A minibar in the United States has found itself in the middle of a domestic violence controversy after an employee posted a sign outside the bar that read, "I like my beer like I like my violence: domestic."
The post grabbed attention after the resident Seetha Kulandaisamy shared a picture of the sign on Facebook and Instagram.
Kulandaisamy said, "I walked by the sign on Friday night, and my first response was just anger. I currently am a volunteer at the women's shelter in Austin, so my sensitivity is extra high, but I think my reaction would have been the same regardless. Not only was it offensive, but it was also just bad humor."

The bar removed the sign the following morning and fired the employee responsible for posting the sign.
