But why must it be a public apology? Why can’t it be between the restaurant owner, the couple and the employees?
Maybe you can learn something here.

It's news for the exact reason you commented in this thread, and other people are commenting, and the previous thread about this situation existed. It generates clicks and revenue because people want to talk about it; no matter which side you are on.

I have eaten at all of his locations. This is the norm at the restaurants.

Yeah but I mean this was sort of fricked up though. Especially the way it went down.

Initially no one could be sure if it was true or not, but it’s amazing how many here stood up and said no way just because it fit their agenda.

Welp, I said in the original thread I was skeptical of it but that's egg on my face. I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong. Good on Desi for the statement and shame on those employees. They should both be fired.

Oh, it being true means they are justified to ask for an apology. And the restaurant owed them one.
I just think this is going to open the door for others with less character to abuse this. People are going to try to make a point now as a punitive measure.
They won’t see it as, “a mistake was made, it was rectified, they apologized, all is well.”
They’ll see it as carte Blanc to do as they wish. They know they have the restaurant on their knees and they won’t dare do anything about it.
Think about the Gravy’s and Helmet’s of the world. The scavengers are approaching,

It is, because these things turn out to rarely be true. I guess you wouldn't understand.

The woke crowd is in this thread. 
Truth: Apparently this did happen, it was wrong, owner apologized, case closed. Employees should get fired.
That should end this story.

Or because a significant number of these high profile events turn out to not true. That too.

I also fully believe him and his wife are the type of people that would easily tip more than 20 percent for good service.
Stereotypes are stereotypes because they have a great deal of truth in them.
Mr. Washington claimed he worked in the service industry in the past and he should understand that blacks, as a whole, do not tip well if at all. Blacks are especially stingy about tipping white servers.
Having said that, there are exceptions to every stereotype and, if what you are saying about Mr. Washington is true, he is THE EXCEPTION.
Of course, from a server's perspective, he/she just has to live with that and should not have added any mandatory tip to the ticket. The fact that he/she only did it to a black couple because of the all-too-true stereotype (in MOST instances) is no excuse.
Personally, I HATE when a tip is automatically added -- even when I'm with a group of more than 6. From whatever reason (probably because of my finance background), I always seem to be the person in whatever group I'm in to do the bill. When a server adds an automatic gratuity, I take that as a sign that he/she has looked at my group, sized us up, and determined that we are likely to stiff him/her. What they don't know is that I typically start at 25% and round up (on a large bill I round up to the next $5 to $10). If we get exceptional service or the staff had to stay a little later because we are having a good time, I START at 35% and round up.
However, whenever someone adds the tip, that is EXACTLY what they will get to the EXACT F*CKING PENNY. I'll then add a little note saying that they F*CKED UP because had the tip not been automatically added, they would have gotten a much larger tip.
