No city listed just Texas Roadhouse in Ohio. I grew up right across the river in WV. I did see more confederate flags in southeast Ohio than I did in northern WV. The only place this even has a chance of happening at is the location in Athens(Where Joe Burrow grew up).

Show me proof.

It’s likely a bunch of rednecks went eat at *shocker* a trash magnet restaurant and this server wanted a shot at a sympathy Go Fund Me.

Translation:

quote:


A Black server at an Ohio restaurant was forced to serve a dinner party that was decked in Confederate battle banners

They had a Dukes of Hazzard DVD collection in their Walmart bag.

quote:

casually tossing around the N-word

So basically acting like black people.

quote:

reported The Daily Beast

Also this never happened.

quote:

"They completely dehumanized me," server Arthur Mandy told the Beast.

You're a waiter, that's the job.

quote:

"'A party full of people wearing Confederate flag gear just tried to f---ing come eat in our restaurant,' a TikTok user called Nani posted Saturday, the Beast reported.
So basically a more noble and honest fashion choice than BLM shirts and "We Wuz Kangz" BS.

quote:

"One of our Black servers had to take them."

Again, that's the job. It was his station.

quote:

Nani said that the table of white guests at the Texas Roadhouse never spoke to the server or gave him eye contact.
So they ordered telepathically?

quote:

Nani said the server ended up walking outside because he got so emotional over his interaction with the table.

41yo man.

quote:

"Mandy, 41, said he expected the party to be his last table for the night. A reservation was set for 11 people, but initially only a small group showed up — including a baby wrapped in a Confederate coat," the report said.

From onesie to coat, next version the toddler will have been leading them in a chorus of "Move Them ******* North".

Yeah, because those people wouldn’t at all be worried about anything happening to the food they are about to eat. This is all bull shite.

I was skeptical at first too. Then I dared to go to the DB article. Texas Roadhouse is investigating the incident and has provided a statement. So something did happen:

quote:

“Texas Roadhouse does not condone any form of harassment or discrimination by guests towards employees. We also strive to maintain a work environment of mutual respect for our employees and guests,” the statement read. The spokesperson said Mandy wasn’t made to wait on the table, and a manager “immediately took over” once he felt uncomfortable. The spokesperson also said the neo-Confederate group would no longer be allowed at Texas Roadhouse. The owner was also supposed to hold meeting with staff Monday night regarding the incident and to “reinforce his support that if anyone is uncomfortable or feels disrespected to let Management know,” the company said.

If true, no manager worth a piss would force a server to wait on any party they are not comfortable with.

quote:

'They’re N-word this, N-word that, while he’s there at the table,


If true, any manager worth a piss would have thrown them out of the restaurant.

quote:

He said the party included a woman “covered head to toe” in the flag, and other guests with a Confederate sweatsuit, neck tattoos, and even a onesie on an infant.



Even the trashiest white trash from the trashiest trailer park in the trashiest county in Alabama wouldn't be that egregious.

The Fonz's verdict: bullshite THAT NEVER HAPPENED

It confirms that they were there. A manager took over serving the table and those idiots are banned from the restaurant. The only question is confirming what was said and done. That’s the only possible point of contention remaining. We all know there is security camera footage being reviewed. It will be easy to prove or disprove the allegations.

Initially I found the premise of the article to be so absurd I couldn’t believe it. But it’s looking more and more likely to be true with that statement from corporate.

I don't get it, were they preventing him from walking out and quitting?


If the story is true, I would have gone to my manager to explain what was happening and refused to serve them.

You aren't technically forced to serve anyone, but you also shouldn't have to quit your job to avoid that type of harassment.

No one took a video or picture? What is the name of the restaurant? So many questions….

Side note, I was in Philadelphia at a holiday inn ( I think). My unit was checking in and I heard “Dixie “ on the street. About 10 minutes later union and confederate uniformed old people walked in for a party. Fully decked out. Wasn’t expecting that.

Security camera footage being reviewed? For clothing attire and words possibly? Doesn’t sound like much white privilege going on.
