An African American waitress in Towson, Maryland is claiming that her boss ordered her to serve only Black customers who entered their Applebees location.

hope she got proof.

 

Hope she has too so she can sue those bosses.

 

If these allegations are true (not far fetched by a long mile), then there would be some serious issues at hand.

 

If it is true, expect AppleBee's corporate office to disavow the instruction as being against its corporate policy and how it affirms equal treatment for all of its employees... If it's true but the incident gets no national media attention giving it legs, don't expect anything else to be said...

 

She stated that things in the AppleBee's went downhill when a new manager for the site was sworn in during May of 2011. Fire the manager/those particular employees and hire new people to take over.

 

what else is new

 

Good luck with that.

I have been in situations when a NEW management team takes over for another one. Some of those new managers may not have a clue to what the corporate policy is.

She should have sent an email to corporate headquarters, the higher ups. You may have the local managers mad at you but oh well.

 

I think there is more to this than what is being reported.

I suspect the restaurant has a bunch of ignorant black folks that come in and act their color and there has been drama between them and the white waitress'.

The mangaer probably asked her would she be able to handle tables with black customers to see how things will work out until he had a enough time to train his waitress' on how to deal with ignorant folks looking for trouble.

 

"ACT THEIR COLOR????" :smt104- now blackbull, with all due respect, you are talking some bullshiggity right there.

 

LOL!

I was trying to be PC and not say "Act Like Nigga's"

 

Well we all know that "N" come in every race, class, and color - it's just that unfortunately that term has been slapped upon poor black folks that don't know any better. For example, I work with a woman who is a lawyer, who is my manager. Another of my coworkers, who is a dear friend, is getting married, and showed off her ring and is so excited about getting married (for the 4th time - she is a little older, so sweet, a cancer survivor, and a die-hard romantic). The "lawyer" had to brag about her $17,000 emerald ring and talk about how mad she was to change her name so that her married name was on the sign of the law firm, instead of her father's name, crap like that - instead of celebrating my friend's wedding - always bragging about her status. I call that an "N" if you want to call it that, in another class and race. She is a snob with a nervous tick that would send you into spasms of laughter if you saw it - she is so fucking insecure that she has to down someone else's joy - that is the epitome of classlessness in my book.

Anyway, there is no color to rudeness and I hate that word and will never use it, OR equate bad behavior with the color or race of the person. I have encountered sick behavior from every type of person under the sun, and I should know - I have worked in customer service for years. Some of the most wonderful, polite, and positive people that I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with are black people, which is just one of the reasons that I have a special fondness for the African American community.
