For those of you who believe racism is dead, I will share something that happened recently. My son and several of his friends went to Wendy's in Boston earlier this month. My son arrived earlier than his friends and went inside. While he was insider, he saw people order and be served their food. When the rest of his friends arrived, most of whom are African American, the store refused to serve them. To put this plainly, white customers were served but African-American customers were not.
While this is slightly off topic for this thread, I figured I would share since some of you believe racism is dead.
smudubs, you're going to have to elaborate more on this.
You're telling us your kid & some of his friends were standing in line, wanting to place an order, & Wendy's refused? Did they serve others behind them in line and not your kid?
If that's the case, I'd hope your son complained to the manager. That is a stupid decision by someone who IMO should be fired.
