Red Lobster is responsible/liable for what their employees do while on duty at the restaurant.
If the company had decent management with any stones, they would have fired the girl, publicly apologized to the victim and offered him a settlement for the damages caused. As I recall the man was also the recipient of numerous death threats and such.
If there was any legal equality in the justice system, this girl would be getting charged by the feds for a racial hate crime that seriously threatened an innocent person’s well being. The crime was committed against him because of his race. She certainly wouldn’t have done it against a black man.
That is what the company should have done
You beat me to it. Correct. Sue Red Lobster and they/their insurance company can sue their employee. Good luck collecting $1 million from her, though.
They will settle this quickly and quietly.
If they didn’t fire her they are going to be in world of legal hurt.
