"Governor's Restaurant Bakery Bangor: A Disgraceful Experience Marred by Racism I recently visited the Governor's Restaurant Bakery in Bangor, ME, with my 83 year old father and a friend. We were excited to try this local establishment, but our experience was marred by blatant racism. From the moment we entered, we were treated differently than other patrons. The waitress, Becky, was rude and dismissive, refusing to take our order while readily attending to other customers. It was clear that our skin color was the issue, as we were the only non white people in the restaurant. When we brought this to the manager's attention, they offered no explanation or apology for Becky's behavior. Instead, they simply took our order themselves, further highlighting the discriminatory treatment we received. This incident left a sour taste in our mouths and ruined what should have been a pleasant meal. My father, who is elderly and deserves respect, was deeply affected by this experience. I cannot in good conscience recommend Governor's Restaurant Bakery in Bangor to anyone. Their staff's blatant racism and the management's lack of response demonstrate a complete disregard for basic human decency and respect. Response to Owner's comment: Mr. Clay I want to thank you for offering to get in touch with me via email. I truly appreciate your efforts to address the concerns I raised. While I understand your point, about the company's stance against discrimination I need to stress that my visit to your Bangor branch was marred by acts of discrimination. Both my father and I were treated differently because of our race. We were ignored by the waitress, Becky, who served customers without hesitation. This kind of treatment made us feel embarrassed and deeply hurt. I see that you are willing to look into this matter which's a step forward. However I urge you to investigate the conduct of your staff and the overall atmosphere at the Bangor establishment. Its disheartening to hear that you claim no knowledge of incidents since it directly contradicts not my experience but also those shared by other people of color online. I am open, to removing my review after 24 hours if you take this issue seriously and conduct an investigation."
