If I feel I may want to take some of the food, etc. that I ordered with me when I leave instead of having get a "doggie bag" to take the rest. Perhaps this doesn't work at higher priced sit down restaurants that depend on an "atmosphere" and uses waiters/waitresses instead of ordering food at a counter, but I don't think Johnny Rockets qualifies there.

Don't know if the implication was that others were able to do this because of their skin color and she was not, which also would be wrong too. And to add to that, it wouldn't matter whether she was Aretha Franklin or someone just like the rest of us. Not allowing them to eat there with skin color, or based on their celebrity status would be just wrong. We should all have the same rules and they should be clear when going some place if someone is going to be hard nosed in enforcing them.
