"When I pointed this out to the waitress, who had just moved my child’s chair to fit someone else behind her, she insisted that she was not being racist and suggested that we could move in the middle of our meal if we wanted. She then mentioned that the tables were being saved for reservations. I felt hurt because, despite dressing well and making an effort to expose my child to different cultures and cuisines, we weren’t treated fairly. I had to restrain myself from making a scene because my child is observing how I react.
I left a tip, not because of the unpleasant experience with the staff, but because I don’t want others to receive the same treatment we did. I live in the area, and I want to hold my head high if I see them again. Unfortunately, the food was not good enough to make me want to return. This wasn’t just a one-time incident; it has shown me that they do not deserve my business ever again."
