The manager at an Evansville, Indiana, Olive Garden accused of racial discrimination no longer works for the restaurant, according to a statement from the company.

"We have zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind, and the manager involved no longer works for our company," an emailed statement read.

During the Saturday night dinner rush, a female customer seated with a black server reportedly requested a white server instead, a demand to which managers reportedly acquiesced.


100 percent sure these low-paid managers are told by corporate to do whatever they need to do to "please the customer"

quote:

Then, when the woman was leaving, Donahue said the customer asked for a refund although she'd already eaten half of her meal.

"She told the person that was helping her that I'm disrespectful ... (that) I need to work at a strip club because I'm not family-friendly," she said.


Well that's unnecessary

Kinda sounds like a "Jussie" situation, but...

quote:

Several Facebook posts corroborated her account of what happened.

"A few white people come in (and) says that they refuse service from a 'colored' server and asks to speak with the manager," wrote Maxwell Robbins, who told the Courier & Press he went to dinner at the restaurant around 5:30 p.m. "The manager without hesitation ensures that they will not receive service from a person of color."


Must be Southern Indiana, amirite?

The Klan used to be huge in Indiana. I think they had the largest membership of any state at one time.

Added link.

The manager didn't discriminate. The customer did.

Why did the manager get fired? Buncha spineless corporate cucks.

Olive Garden sucks balls, as does any restaurant owned by Darden's. They have managed to frick up Olive Garden, Red Lobster, and Cheddar's.

Just one more reason not to eat there.

LOL. This 100 percent never happened.


When relaying these fake stories, black people always talk like they THINK white people talk.

When I think of where racist people would likely be going out to dinner, I definitely think of Olive Garden.

How can a black person be racist?

Adds up. Olive Garden is synonymous with bigotry and ignorance.

Because the manager, the representative of the company, acquiesced to the racist requests of the customer potentially creating a hostile work environment and exposing the company to liability and a public relations nightmare.

Is it really hard to understand?

Is this a trick question or are you really that fricking stupid?

How? Just like any other person of any race.

Glad we could clear that up.

...and he would have gotten fired for refusing their request.

You don't know the corporate pass the buck to the low man game, do you?

That would be horrible if true and would also expose the company to liability. Didn't happen, so we just have your speculation.

Quit being a fricking moron.

You know damn good and well the manager was in a no win situation. Corporate was going to have his arse either way.

My ex-wife owned a restaurant.

You would not believe the shite people of all colors, sizes, shapes, and ages pull to try and get a free meal.

A manager turning away blatantly racist customers would be a great PR move

I bet the manager gets a call from legal soon offering one hell of a severance package. If he can show that the corporate policy was "the customer is always right", he'll take them to the cleaners.

Also, it'll come out soon that the actual events were nothing like the ones presented in the article. It almost always does.
