Dairy Queen shows what a responsible business is really like. [View all]

A DQ franchise holder in Zion, IL went off on a racial tirade against an African-American mother and her two young children. Two days later, DQ terminated his franchise license and closed his store. WTG DQ!

(Note, the woman involved is meeting with other customers and employees who say that they had been victims the the owner's racist rants to see if there is a pattern that DQ should have been aware of.)

A Dairy Queen owner unleashed a racist tirade against a customer. He no longer has a business.


The Dairy Queen owner shouting the n-word at Deianeira Ford told her he could say whatever he wanted at his fast-food restaurant — that any accusations and complaints she uttered would fall on deaf ears.

Ford was vindicated two days later, when her Facebook post about the incident provoked outrage so strong that the Dairy Queen in Zion, Ill., didn’t open for business.
