General Downtown restaurant ordered to pay $10K after black man was asked to 'pre-pay' for food

Good, I wish the guy got double that. He was clearly discriminated again, notice how everyone else in the restuarant he spoke to said they where not asked to pay first, and the restuarant also lied about the dine and dash thing, the investigators found zero evidence of that. Racism and prejudice need to stop and fuck anyone loser who can't see the reality.

Not referring to this case (don't know these people's minds) but anyway....

Ok, so I've been traveling. I've driven over 1200 miles in the last week and through 4 states. Are you familiar with the Dunkin Donut stations in convenient stores and gas stations off the interstates? You can get doughnuts , coffee, iced coffee etc., they have machines set up and you make your own and then pay. I began noticing a pattern. Some stores had placed a lock on the doughnut door (obviously added on, lol) and no cups out. There was a sign to ask cashier for a cup. So essentially making you pay first.

So today, I'm at a Pilot. I'm at the Dunkin Donut station wanting some coffee. There are 8 or 9 people, from a particular race I won't mention (not black though) making coffee and drinking it right there, some making and trying all the different iced coffees, the kids eating doughnuts while standing there, etc. I finally dove in shoulder to shoulder in the frenzy and made my coffee. I made my way to the cashier who was calling security. She explained it has become a common thing for "them" to do this and then just leave without paying.

She called security before she knew if they were going to pay. Was she being racist or prejudice?

In the case I am referring to, it turns out there was zero proof of dining and dashing, the manager made that up, and the new manager and owner that took over gave an impression of the previous mgmt having bad judgement. This lady in the case you present is not acting racist, may possibly be having bad judgement though by getting security involved that soon, because as you describe the 8 people where not leaving the store, perhaps they would have tried too but at that point they where still in the store and in theory would have paid on their own.
