I guess I've gotten the same treatment on my few Waffle House visits.

In the local WH of my hometown, they locked the restrooms and made people ask for keys because blacks broke the urinals off the walls and pried the toilets off the floor in vandalism incidents. Then, some who would just loiter claimed they were "discriminated against" because the manager would only allow customers access to the toilets.
It got so bad the toilets weren't fit to wipe one's a- hands in. It's closed now.
OK, first it was Denny's. Who was next on this hit list?
so fast service and good food area racial civil right now?Oh goody there are about 100 resturants in indiana that I can sue for millions im going to be richer then H. Ross Perot :-)
There is just no excuse for this ever happening, unless these people are threatening other customers or the waitresses or waiters.
And .. how could someone determine that another patron got better food than you .. did the guy go over to the white people's table and taste their food. How absurd!
I've heard Blacks complain that they get poor service because other Blacks are such poor tippers. Some wait staff learn to hate serving any Blacks as a result. The Black woman I who told me this made it a point to tip generously to try to undo the damage others had done.
Hmmm! We went to the Waffle House late one night with our wee ones. When we got there hardly anyone was there. Within moments it was crowded with some very loud people, including other children. We waited and waited. Never got served, so left. As we left, I noticed the other people who got there later already had their dinners in front of them. Should we go back and sue for discrimination, because....because...our children weren't loud enough? That's the only thing that was different between us and the other customers.
Ran over to IHOP for the white folks' food?
a lotta this wears thin.
if there is real discrimination, then it should be dealt with.
but in long beach 15 years ago, black kids were coming in late at night and leaving without out paying the bill.
the management wouldn't seat these kids, and they sued.
I visited a FUBU store recently. Whew, did this cracker feel unwelcome.
Waffle House has service and quality food?
The closest the Servers ever get to "racial epithets" is shouting "WHITE TOAST!" at the short order cook. ("White" as opposed to "wheat", that is.) They shout the orders to the cook.
I throw the suit out just on the fact that Waffle House doesn't serve ANYONE "quality food".
'Copycat' charged in McD's scheme
Cops say man placed objects in sandwich, then claimed injuryThursday, January 20, 2005By Michaelangelo ConteJournal staff writer
WEST NEW YORK - A Cliffside Park man has been charged with cutting his own mouth with a razor and stuffing his McDonald's chicken sandwich with staples and a paper clip in an apparent copycat attempt to cash in with a lawsuit against the company, officials said.
The incident follows a lawsuit filed earlier this month by Beatriz Bermeo of North Bergen against the same Bergenline Avenue McDonald's, in which she claims she ingested five needles that were inside her chicken sandwich.
At about 2 p.m. Tuesday, West New York police arrested Jose Rodriguez, 48, and charged him with supplying a false report to law enforcement and tampering with or fabricating evidence, Capt. Robert Antolos said.
Police responding to a call of someone biting into a sandwich containing a sharp object arrived at the McDonald's to find Rodriguez bleeding from the mouth, Antolos said.
Rodriguez had created a scene in the restaurant, showing other customers and police the sandwich, which had staples and a paper clip protruding from it, Antolos said.
Rodriguez was taken to Palisade Medical Center while police began an investigation in which "evidence was recovered at the scene indicating that this new incident was nothing but a scam," Antolos said.
The investigation revealed that Rodriguez ordered a chicken sandwich and took it into the restroom, where he bit into it and spit the portion out into the garbage, Antolos said.
He then placed a row of staples and a bent paper clip into the middle of the sandwich and rewrapped it, Antolos said.
Finally, he took out a razor blade and used it to cut the inside of his mouth before discarding the blade in the garbage, Antolos said.
Rodriguez then walked back into the restaurant, sat down at a table and faked biting the sandwich before pretending to have been cut, Antolos said.
Armed with the evidence, police visited Rodriguez at the hospital and gave him another chance to say what happened, but he gave them the same story, Antolos said.
They then showed him the evidence against him and he admitted he had fabricated the story, Antolos said.
Rodriguez was arrested and his fingerprints and mug shot were taken in the hospital before he was released on his own recognizance to receive treatment for the cut in his mouth, which was serious enough to require stitches, Antolos said. ...
Bermeo's lawsuit alleges that on Dec. 29 she was in the restaurant when she bit into a sandwich and pain shot through her, said her attorney, Rosemarie Arnold of Fort Lee.
Bermeo clutched at her throat, thinking she was choking, and her husband opened her mouth, saw two needles stuck in her, and pulled them out, Arnold said.
Bermeo was taken to Palisades Medical Center, where three more needles were surgically removed from her digestive tract, Arnold said, adding that Bermeo spent three days in the hospital before her release. She is suing McDonald's for an unspecified sum, Arnold said. ...
"Hopefully this will stem any copycat crimes," Antolos said.
I spent the past two weeks in Alabama and Georgia and I ate at a Waffle House pretty much every morning - of my own choice. The food and service was consistently excellent and you get to see the food made right in front of you. Each morning I had ham & cheese omelet with grits and sides of bacon and sausage. Good wholesome food that really goes down well. Don't know why people think the food is crappy. Eggs are eggs and bacon is bacon, etc. Not going to get any better at more expensive "yuppie" restaurants at breakfastime. I suppose I could afford to have the $10 omelets at some fancy hotel restaurant but why waste my money when I can get the same quality at Waffle House for about $3.50? My only complaint was that they didn't have Swiss cheese with which to make the omelets but that's not the fault of those preparing them.
What a bummer that Waffle Houses don't exist up north. They are everywhere in the Southland but they pretty much peter out when you get north of the Mason/Dixon line. In fact, maybe they should consider renaming the Mason/Dixon line the IHOP/Waffle House line!
