F&DB standard response is asking if you brought it up with the manager before taking it to social media, Washington seems to have done that.

Sorry for Desi, but Washington has every right to bring this up publicly. The manager was in on it and there was no guarantee it would ever make it to Desi unless it was handled this way.

I recently did. I went shopping and was immediately confronted by this atrocity. I rightfully demanded a public apology and unlimited free chicken wings from their deli.This sort of systemic racism should never go unpunished.

Right

And it was a FB post on his own page. I doubt he thought it would get 3k shares at the time.

I mean yes I have been but that's beside the point. I thought S was talking about the auto-tip, not the racism part.

tagging the restaurant does nothing but get their attention. Would have had the same outcome had they not. Doesn't make anything go viral.

Yep. Part of dealing with the consequences of actions for Desi. He hired shitheads, but he has an opportunity to make it right and seems to be doing so.

It’s sad that all the jussie, bubba and msm garbage has desensitized us to the point we immediately suspected that the couple was lying about this.


A big thing that caused suspicion was him not posting the receipt. Did that eventually come out?

Couple of dumbass employees. I'm wondering if the couple was so bad that they thought they would be stiffed or if it is something they do pretty regularly. Stupid move either way which is easily provable by the receipt. Not worth it for them in the end even if the couple were a pain in the arse (though they might not have been at all).

Desi is a stand up guy. I've known him for years. He's a top restaurateur in New Orleans. I'm sure he took care of the couple and the bill.
