A customer at an Olive Garden restaurant in Indiana on Saturday loudly demanded a server who is not black, an employee and an observer said. A manager acquiesced, and is no longer employed by the company.
Amira Donahue, a hostess at the restaurant in Evansville in southwestern Indiana, said the customer, a white woman, complained to a manager about her and the other black hostess working during Saturday's dinner rush.
"She made comments about me to my co-workers concerning my race and saying that I should work at a strip club instead," Donahue told NBC News on Wednesday. "She asked if I'm even black and if I am from here."
Donahue, 16, said the customer — who was with a handful of other people, including two children — was seated at a table that had a black server, at which point she became particularly irate.
The customer then screamed her demand for a nonblack server to a manager, who complied, Donahue said.

I know this is a big leap but could this have been entrapment by a social justice warrior?
Since Olive Garden and NBC didn't bother to track down the screaming customer could the customer have done this as a test or a set-up?
Unless the customer was drunk, how many customers would start screaming and making a scene? Could the customer be a SJW who wanted to create a fake hate crime?
The customer is always white, er, right....
Maybe so, but I’m thinking that every black employee lined up in order to spit on the customers order.
There is more to this story.
This doesn’t smell right.
Entrapment or not the manager would have to have an IQ of less than 50 for fall for this.
Either that or the manager just arrived to this century from 1842, which I consider possible but unlikely.
So we’re back to a less than 50 IQ.
You can’t figure out in the year 2020 that you’re going to get in trouble for going along with something like this?
IQ less than 45.
This fits NBC’s agenda so the story ran. If I were the manager, the customer would have been thrown out.
it wasn’t like he did something crazy like demand real Italian food.
“could this have been entrapment by a social justice warrior?”

Not likely, she was with a group apparently. In the fakes they usually work alone so they can’t be traced as easily.
Also, if you did catch somebody with this, they should have known better. It would be like demanding a bus driver to tell all the black people to give up their bus seats to white people and move to the back of the bus. If the driver does it, he would be a moron.
I find this VERY hard to believe as it is written.
Who knows what really happened? Think about it - a national news channel is now getting into reportage of teen disputes in restaurants. Why?
Whatever was going on, the customer should have been asked to leave for being abusive and disorderly. If a person behaves this way in a bar or nightclub, they get bounced out.
“You can’t figure out in the year 2020 that you’re going to get in trouble for going along with something like this?

Yup.
Did the customer simply ask for a server she trusts, or did she specifically ask for a nonblack server? I guess we’ll never know for sure, unless the customer is found and gives her side of the story.
This could be a ginned-up incident. But if the customer really did ask for a nonblack server, she should have been tossed out of the restaurant. Immediately.
Ditto to that.
There always is.
I was surprised anyone actually went to Olive Garden
That was the news story here
Yes, never piss off the person who is making or serving your food. I make sure waiters never even hear me make political comments.
Yeah... something is missing. And the hostess is definitely NOT strip club material.
But seriously? Either that or the manager just arrived to this century from 1842, which I consider possible but unlikely.
Another (remote) possibility is that the manager recently arrived from the Muslim part of the world where slavery is still in vogue.
