When I read the article I actually figured they may have been the start of the problem . They may lunasun May 2018 #86

They could have dragged them to free up the table, like on an airplane. nt tblue37 May 2018 #101

That's your solution and as I put at the end of my post of how a restaurant could handle it -"IMO" lunasun May 2018 #105

He's black? Is his wife darker or something? yurbud May 2018 #67

That's right you would be aware he is not white lunasun May 2018 #104

Is this post for real? JustAnotherGen May 2018 #112

By leaving the restaurant he gets a win win, no chance for the police to harm him for Eliot Rosewater May 2018 #29

His reputation was in play JustAnotherGen May 2018 #42

Good point. Blue_true May 2018 #56

I was being sarcastic EffieBlack May 2018 #58

Thanks for the insight. nt Blue_true May 2018 #85

IKR. And another thing. We don't get to see what happened prior to when the video started ProudLib72 May 2018 #59

We don't know the whole story EffieBlack May 2018 #60

Omg! ismnotwasm May 2018 #71

You almost gave me a heart attack. joshcryer May 2018 #91

I watched the video. Huge mistake by that white manager. MineralMan May 2018 #3

and the comment "Because I don't like you" Demovictory9 May 2018 #96

Here's the Video, from YouTube: MineralMan May 2018 #5

Thank you! gollygee May 2018 #7

I had to go find it on YouTube. MineralMan May 2018 #8

99% of the time there is going to be a video. lucky for us. dixiegrrrrl May 2018 #47

And they haven't figured out that Yelp, etc. exists treestar May 2018 #66

that's even worse than what i got from reading the article JI7 May 2018 #87

I would have let them call the police leftynyc May 2018 #6

As a white person, I would let them call the police and laugh gollygee May 2018 #9

Yes. Likely, they would have done just that - mandhandle a black man. MineralMan May 2018 #10

And his wife. nt gollygee May 2018 #12

Wouldn't have recording the leftynyc May 2018 #32

Not necessarily. The beef was with the restaurant MineralMan May 2018 #34

I guess it turned out okay leftynyc May 2018 #36

Sometimes, getting yourself out of a situation is the best choice. MineralMan May 2018 #38

I understand your example perfectly leftynyc May 2018 #40

The person involved didn't suck it up. He put the video on social media, MineralMan May 2018 #41

Maybe more effective leftynyc May 2018 #46

It might stop the next manager if he wants to keep his job. Demsrule86 May 2018 #48

One would hope leftynyc May 2018 #50

It is depressing. And I imagine there are many more that are never publicized. Demsrule86 May 2018 #51

Yup leftynyc May 2018 #54

And this guy is pretty famous...but I saw one post about how this 'might' not be about racism...when Demsrule86 May 2018 #74

Of course, you did. EffieBlack May 2018 #79

I will never understand giving racist scum like that manager the benefit of the doubt. I hope he is Demsrule86 May 2018 #129

That's exactly it EffieBlack May 2018 #61

Agreed. I've always valued my teeth more than my ego. KY_EnviroGuy May 2018 #88

The police were coming for a tresspass charge. joshcryer May 2018 #92

It's illegal to not "ask questions" and to "simply remove the 'trespasser'" EffieBlack May 2018 #107

What more than a statement by the manager that he asked a patron to leave and they refused onenote May 2018 #114

You apparently missed the rather intense discussion of this last week - lucky you. :-) EffieBlack May 2018 #121

The probably would have shot the patrons for "fear for their life" Takket May 2018 #21

You don't need the sarcasm tag tazkcmo May 2018 #76

Guaranteed if a black patron had a fork in their hand. n/t KY_EnviroGuy May 2018 #89

Black people don't have the luxury of saying "let them call the police-wtf were police going to do?" EffieBlack May 2018 #39

Agreed. Caliman73 May 2018 #125

Yes, manhandle them, or Taze them, or shoot them. Blue_true May 2018 #63

Yes, reading about situations like that is depressing. Blue_true May 2018 #106

I Can Get "Regulars" Getting Table Preference ProfessorGAC May 2018 #11

At most they could have offered a 'comped' meal if they would agree to a move, but if they refused hlthe2b May 2018 #13

That Would Have Been A Good Idea ProfessorGAC May 2018 #19

That's 'cause you know how to tip. Iggo May 2018 #93

Even more insulting misanthrope May 2018 #65

He WAS a regular. In fact, he had previously booked large parties MineralMan May 2018 #14

They Were Both Regulars? ProfessorGAC May 2018 #18

Yes. It's in the news talker part of the video. MineralMan May 2018 #23

Not sure I see how someone can absolutely declare race-motives as a stone-cold fact in this case ... mr_lebowski May 2018 #27

You're welcome to defend anyone you wish. MineralMan May 2018 #35

Really...it was racism pure and simple... Demsrule86 May 2018 #49

If that table was so damn important Mz Pip May 2018 #33

You Realize We Agree, Right? ProfessorGAC May 2018 #52

I can see trying to appease a regular customer dsc May 2018 #16

Yeah, their meal or at least drinks should have been comp'd at the time of request. Hassin Bin Sober May 2018 #25

But you shouldn't try to appease a regular customer by inconveniencing the other customers. EffieBlack May 2018 #124

that is why you offer the comp meal or drink dsc May 2018 #128

The restaurant is getting destroyed on Yelp. miyazaki May 2018 #17

We think alike, I see! Kittycow May 2018 #22

Haha..Yelp isn't cleaning up the reviews yet. Kittycow May 2018 #20

Is there a link? For some reason I cannot find it. Tipperary May 2018 #100

I just googled Sambuca 360 yelp and it came up. Kittycow May 2018 #116

Yeah, finally got it, but it looks like they have cleaned it up. Tipperary May 2018 #117

At least when people google their name in the future Kittycow May 2018 #118

They'd better do a Sambuca180 real fast. skypilot May 2018 #24

And what was up with the "regulars" who watched all this happen? LisaM May 2018 #31

Kick. Worse than the Starbucks incident! Nt Anon-C May 2018 #43

Their "apology" is complete bullshit. The racist POS manager should be identified. dalton99a May 2018 #44

What struck me madaboutharry May 2018 #53

He was among those folk - including plenty of people on DU - who believe a restaurant manager can EffieBlack May 2018 #68

Actually, they can. tazkcmo May 2018 #77

No, actually they can't. EffieBlack May 2018 #78

You are right tazkcmo May 2018 #80

Yes kimbutgar May 2018 #73

LA is very expensive. Blue_true May 2018 #72

Regulars would have understood treestar May 2018 #62

I'm a regular at a few places and have favorite tables EffieBlack May 2018 #83

I wouldn't either treestar May 2018 #110

It's suggested this place has a history of discrimination. KY_EnviroGuy May 2018 #90

It is in Plano, TX? treestar May 2018 #111

Yes, check out the article I posted. KY_EnviroGuy May 2018 #115

So, why would you want to eat there dumdrum May 2018 #94

Maybe the food is very good Catherine Vincent May 2018 #119

I would hope they would be able to sue the restaurant over this. Crunchy Frog May 2018 #95

This was just up the road from us in Plano, TX DFW May 2018 #97

OMFG! Sickening. Duppers May 2018 #99

Thank goodness for cell phone videos gollygee May 2018 #109

Ayup. Iggo May 2018 #120

Even then, one must withhold judgment dalton99a May 2018 #122

Of course. Because we have no idea what happened before the video started. EffieBlack May 2018 #123
