If I want their attention I will post on their page or contact them directly. I hope you can see the difference.


Shouldn’t you be private messaging Lester and not posting on a public forum right now if you have a problem with Mr. Washington posting on Facebook and not messaging Desi privately?

systemic racism exists


The belief of systematic racism will cripple America more than any other libtard policy.

When we start lowering standards for college acceptance for a certain segment of the population, making business exec boards equally represented across races instead of selecting the best possible candidates, amongst some other bullshite we are headed towards some dark days ahead.

Not fixing the problem at hand. Just making the problem acceptable when it shouldn’t be

It’s clear he did what he did for attention

Then he even doubled down on it



You’re not this naive

Who's to say they wouldn't have tipped?


We don’t know - but they sure had the audacity to ask a white couple if they were charged an auto-tip even though they were told by restaurant management it was a normal procedure. Did they leave a tip on top of the 20%?

That didn't happen here though.


None of us know what happened because we weren’t there. We have no idea what kind of diners they are. Or if they were actually racially profiled.

the stereotype about black people not tipping didn't really meet my reality


I wish I could say the same - but black people and the 20-30 crowd (who love to brag on social media about how much they tip - but they actually don’t) - are the worst ones.

Hispanics don’t tip either - but I speak Spanish so I’ll butt into conversations and joke around so I get tips - co workers don’t.

Back in the day older people tipped terribly - but they usually left something

My issue is with the way he handled it then tried to act like he didn’t ask for all the attention


You know I hate to agree with you, but I agree with you on this 100%.

A similar incident happened last week at my husband’s restaurant - so it makes me wonder if people are getting marching orders.

100% plants. Then they immediately go to social media

Then they list their demands.

Then they act like they didn’t ask for the attention

Next thing you know they are running for political office.

You might be surprised to know that tipping has been researched. A Cornell University study a few years ago found that Black people leave smaller tips, Black people tip less regardless of socio-economic status and Black people tip less when there is comparable service. The study found that Black people even tip Black wait staff less. The study concludes that some industry education was needed. I might add, some home training is needed, too.


Just surprised it was published. It either wouldn’t be today or would have added narrative that systemic racism is the cause not black culture.

https://www.nola.com/opinions/will_sutton/article_09e60d06-7acc-11eb-a833-1bd7835eaca1.html

If actually doing this just because they were black it’s obviously wrong (so far i just see customer saying manager and owner admit to racial part), but blacks profile white people as racist multiple times every day making it laughable that any act outraged and play victim about tip profiling and that this making news. Black people know most blacks don’t tip right, and black waiters get mad many times when they get black tables.

Blacks who want to be viewed as a group again instead of being viewed on their individual merits need to pay more attention to fixing your group’s short comings instead of passing blame on everyone else and playing victim for the group. It’s not just the out of proportion crime and violence, but It’s every day crap like tipping.

Better yet write off the trash and quit grouping yourselves with them. Otherwise at least don’t get mad when others see you as the very trash you group yourself with as you are basically profiling yourself.

Citing evidence that black people tip less is exactly like citing crime statistics when talking about people killed by police.

It won’t matter one bit to people like Lester.

It’s always someone else’s fault, unless you are white.

Just reading these stories you can’t help but laugh how the new hot button word is “equity”. It used to be “equality”


Equality is equal in inputs. “Give everyone $5”.

Equity is equal in results. “Everyone should have $5”.

They aren’t last in everything. That’s mighty racist of you.

They were doing quite well in a number of categories before LBJ gutted their communities with his Great Society plan

Do you have a life outside of this site?

The way you keep track of people’s posting history is both creepy and pathetic.
