This thread is sad and I'm surprised the Admins have let it go on with some of the outright racist and despicable comments in it.

reas, stuff like Red Lobster, TGI Fridays, Cracker Barrel, etc is seen as a nice place to eat because you are actually going out for a sit down dinner. It isn't so much about the food as it is the availability of said restaurants and the act of


And also years past. Full disclosure I spent my vast majority of childhood in Port Neches Texas. Small town and bible thumping (no liquor liscences) meant all we ever had was Sonic, DQ, and Pizza Inn. Not even Pizza Hut. A trip to Lubys was a big deal because you used a cloth napkin.

It's all life experience and perspective.

the government can come in if it believes you are discriminating against a group of people. that obviously is not whats happening here, but if you were a restaurant that outright said you didnt want to serve blacks or handicapped people because you dont like them, you could be sued


They can also force private business to sell birth control and plan B.

Cliff notes for the thread please.

How many posters on here will now be labeled as racists? And did anyone get banned?

it's like i said earlier

if there is no truth to the issue, then it's racism

if there is truth in the comments, then it's not racism

i've never been a server nor have i asked my server-historied friends of their stories, so i can't comment on the veracity of the comments. but if they are true and this applies to the larger point, then it's not racist at all

Looks like admins are cleaning it up. There was definitely some out of line comments posted by ndtiger(think he was the one who replied to slow Flo saying all black ppl were naturally lazy).

No it hasn't been you drama queen. It's mostly been civil discussions. I'm sorry the talk about black culture as it pertains to restaurant etiquette offends you.
And I'm sure you've never experienced it while working at McDonalds so you wouldn't understand.

Good. If people are really being shitheads they should clean it up. I think it needs to happen more often in these race threads.

Overall though my point stands... We can and should be allowed to discuss this kind of stuff if the facts back it up.

Idk what's more intolerable, the average black table with a party of five or more in a restaurant, or your average douche waiter who holds customers personally responsible for their guaranteed minimum wage- newsflash clown, no one buys that you "only" make 4 bucks an hour on slow nights, everyone knows your employer is responsible for making up the difference.

This thread is how I imagine a thread on white flight would have went in the 70s... just liked everyone had a reason for moving lawfully, all these businesses closed lawfully, but it creates an overall effect that rivals the worst in racism. These businesses couldn't have closed next weekend without major events on the schedule? Not including Walk-ons if their sewer issue is legit, but some of these businesses don't have legit issues.
