My wife works a nice humble job at TGI Fridays and the Columbus, GA Blacks are practicing a greater militancy that she notices even in that job.

The Rosa Parks wannabes love to reject the first table offered to them and sometimes reject the second table as well. They want to show they ain't going to the back of the bus. Then they agitate for free appetizers. Then they reject some of the food brought out as too hot, too cold, too different from the picture, etc. They don't want to pay and ask to speak with the manager over nothing. Finally they either under tip or do not tip at all.

Back when I was a waiter at a Pargos in Nashville I noted no differences in tips between Black patrons and Whites but today there is a growing difference.

So much for a “Post-Racial” agent of hope and change, eh? Barry, in his own special way, has actually managed to set race relations back a bit. Nice work, Barry.

I was in a local mall a few days ago and witnessed first-hand the agitation you mentioned in a sandwich shop. it was over nothing...i was there. the manager offer to pay the ticket, but the complainer insisted he pay the ticket and give her at least two free meals. he said no.

I've seen it in the apartment business too. Day after the election a black couple came in to view apartments. The woman was wearing an Obama shirt. She insisted that we are idiots because we do not allow grilling on the balconies (even though it is against Ohio law). And because we have restrictions on satellite dishes.

wow, my daughter is a waitress too,they do the same thing here, I was hoping it was random, guess not.

I have often heard that patrons, no matter what race, should NOT be rude to the people who are about to serve them food and drink.

The temptation to leave an undetectable “present” of some sort in their meal is too great.

And if anybody refuses to cater to their whims they'll be accused as being racist.

For lack of a better term, I call this "coerced nobility". "treat me better because I'm black and you know you better do it or I'll scream."

I was a waitress in the early 90s and this was totally true then. If the last table on one's shift was the Rosa Parks crowd, most servers would leave it for the incoming shift - it just wasn't worth the effort. You could provide the most stellar service, the best food, tons of freebees, and they'd still bitch about everything and not leave a tip.

Gee, they better hope the people working there haven't read Jessie Jackson.....

Really? Here in the northeast, black men are notorious for being lousy tippers. All of you PC types can get your panties in a wad, but black waitstaff have told me this as well.
