Yeah, I'm a hostess and the restaurant was full. I was taking names for seats and some people came in said they needed a table. I said ok but there is a fifteen minute wait. They all go to the bathroom. I call after them to ask their name but they didn't reply. So right after they all go to the restroom, 10 people come in including this very old white woman. I swear she looked like she was gonna pass out and it is common courtasy to let the older folks sit up front so she could get cooled off by the breeze from the door and so she wouldn't have to walk too far, ya know? Well, they come back and said that it was unacceptable that I gave a specific table away, well the woman asked for it and it wasn't like I didn't look for them. Plus, I waited a few minutes to see if they came out. This family was black and I am white. They didn't say it to my face but told the manager I was racist and he gave them a free meal... Does this make sense to anyone? Was I racist here?
