You'd have to ask the server and manager, not the OT.

Are you kidding? Out of all of their customers they selected a black couple and charged them more than the white people. This is blatant profiling and bigotry. We should all stand against that.

It is not a blemish on the restaurant. We have no reason to believe this isn't counter to the core values of the ownership. We should take them at their word.

I'm impressed with the conduct of the victims and the owner. And I'm proud that in New Orleans this was handled with class and dignity.

There is an extremely common stereotype of black customers within the restaurant industry, and that is that black people do not tip well, if at all, and so I’m sure that is what fueled it being done by the employees in the first place, and since it was all black customers, I’d say it’s safe to say it was profiling.
