re: Some Myrtle Beach restaurants now hold your ID while you eat

I feel it's racist to require someone to have an ID to eat at a restaurant.

I feel you, but I doubt they are doing this to be assholes. Businesses don't do things that cost them money. Someone has determined that turning people away without IDs will cost them less than hoping people pay their bill.

Problem is that people will cry racism over this. Again, no accountability. People say the same shite with credit scores, not realizing that these institutions are are about the dollar bill. If black people all of a sudden started being more financially responsible than whites or Asians, guess who would get the short end of the stick? institutions are lending money, they have to have some way to make money if people are assholes. That way is an algorithm that makes a judgement on your financial habits.

If there were no people who skipped out on the bill, this wouldn't be a thing. Very simple.
