He says after his party of 25 waited two hours for a table, the shift manager told them there was a "situation." "She said there's a situation where one of our customers feels threatened by your party, so she asked us not to seat you in our section, which totally alarmed all of us because we're sitting there peaceably for two hours," explains Brown. "Obviously, if we were causing any conflict, we would have been ejected out of the place hours before." Brown says while he was talking to the shift manager, someone in his group began videotaping the conversation. Brown says that's when the manager became upset and refused to seat them. "I asked her I want to be clear with you," says Brown. "I said so you're telling me I have to leave. She said I have a right to deny you service. I said so you're asking me to leave because you're upset because he was recording you, after we've waited for two hours, and after you've already pretty much discriminated on us, and she answered yes." Brown says several calls were made to the corporate office in Mt. Pleasant, but he says they did not receive a call back, so he took to Facebook with this post Thursday.

Quote Representatives for Wild Wing Cafe say they immediately responded and spoke to Brown. "We had a conversation," says Stokes. "It was a really good conversation. He and many of his family and friends were there about a month ago, and they are regular customers of ours. So, they were having a going away party, and they just didn't receive the experience that they have come to know and love." Brown says an apology was offered and a free meal for the entire group, but he says he's not completely satisfied. wtf kind of response is that? "didn't receive the experience that they have come to know and love" ya fucking think? and oh hey btw sorry you were embarrassed and treated like rabid animals because a single white guest was more important to us that night instead of the 25 of you, here's a free meal to make up for it.. wow.. |
