Restaurant fined for making black customers pay in advance

A Canadian human rights tribunal has ruled that a restaurant discriminated against black customers by making them pre-pay for their meal.
Hong Shing Chinese Restaurant, in Toronto's Chinatown, has been fined C$10,000 ($8,000; £5,700).
The money will go to former customer Emile Wickham, who filed the complaint with the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal.
Mr Wickham was celebrating his birthday with three black friends in 2014 when the incident occurred.
He told the tribunal that when he and his friends sat down, they were the only black patrons in the restaurant. Their waiter told them it was "policy" to pay before they were served, he said.
The group paid, but after Mr Wickham said he felt uncomfortable and began to ask other patrons if they had been asked to pay in advance. He told the tribunal they had not.
He complained to the waiter, was offered a refund and left.
Shortly after the incident, Mr Wickham filed the complaint with the human rights tribunal.

Nothing compared to the money they didn’t lose.

Canada, Chinese food, black people. That’s just confusing

They could have just refused service to blacks but money is green.

If you work in the industry, you can't help but notice the irony here

I kinda think I'd prefer to pay in advance. Always hate trying to find the waiter when we are ready for the bill.

I will never forget when the president of the restaurant i worked at kept asking how we knew canadians were eating there, and what a great business oppurtunity he hadnt thought of

Can you imagine how shitty the service would be if you paid before you ate and still left no tip?

That's too funny
About 3 or 4 years ago I was working at a restaurant, and a black, female employee called and made a complaint to the corporate office over some kitchen bullshite. The regional manager naturally decides to take a trip into the restaurant and start asking questions. Well the first person he speaks with decided it would be a great opportunity to explain why he didn't like waiting on black people. The dumbass got fired on the spot and the entire restaurant was put through a racial discrimination investigation.
