Maybe those 2 race baiters wanted the waitress to write “african american couple” just to be pc. As a former bartender and waiter, we also had our own codes for troublesome tables...but that’s for another forum.

[[”I was frustrated,” Wilson told KTVI. “I was angry.]]

You were angry that someone pointed out the obvious? What? Are you ashamed of being a black couple?

So, is it “National Association for the Advancement of Youth People”, or “National Association for the Advancement of Teen People”. It is very hard to keep up.

They have changed “Niger” bird seed to “Nyger”.

Apparently someone’s transitory feelings are more important than someone else’s livelihood. Shame on the owner and the couple if that’s all the waitress did.

Agree.

It’s become cult like with the race thing. Where if a term or gesture is not liked, it could make national news resulting in a tsunami of hyper offended people playing abused victims feigning outrage demanding heads roll.

Pretty scary stuff for those with no bad intent.

What’s even scarier is that some of the comments on the restaurant’s FB page indicate that the waitress was black. If so, how is there even a scintilla of racism implied?

Once when having dinner at the bar of a restaurant I noticed bartender had used “nice couple”. I was pleased that he didn’t say “old couple”, lol.

Owner completely jumped the shark: "We've already had lineups with all of our servers and bartenders ... but I’m also going to bring in a consultant to give some diversity training so we all understand what it's all about," Hanon told KTVI.

The statement:

I, Patrick Hanon, sincerely apologize for the unacceptable act that is not symbolic of our company values or beliefs. We do not tolerate this behavior and have a zero tolerance for this behavior. This is not our management style and have addressed this issue. We are reevaluating our hiring, training, and screening process so that we develop the most professional of individuals. This was an isolated event which we do not and will not tolerate. Patrick's is a family owned business and during our 33 years I have always treated my customers as family and encourage my employees to do so as well. We appreciate our loyal family members and our new family members.

"I, Patrick Hanon" - starts his idiocy like Zer0 does his announcements.

I’m sure they will want to sue the restaurant for pain and suffering, like those lovely lesbian ladies sued the bakery.
