Texas Diners Call Their Waiter “F*ggot,” Restaurant Apologizes… to the Diners

HOUSTON -- Let’s take a quick multiple-choice test. Just for fun. I will present a scenario, and you select the most logical reaction to that scenario. Sound good? Let’s do it.

You are the manager of a restaurant. One of your employees is a gay male. Two diners, after eating in the restaurant, leave a disparaging comment about your gay employee, even though he wasn’t even the one to serve them.

The comment, scrawled on the top of the receipt, reads: “Don’t want to listen to a f*ggot through my whole meal.”

Do you:

A. Apologize to your employee for being unfairly targeted for hatred.

Or do you:

B. Apologize to the diners who called your employee a slur.

Do you avoid Kelley’s Country Cookin’ like the plague.
In which case the waiter suffers?

The majority in the retail/food service industries follow the maxim told to me in my days as a pup cashier: "Even if you're right, you're wrong."

In other words they'd rather lose the server than lose those customers.
