Black Angus ripoff Stuart Anderson's Black Angus bans Latino's for no reason Burbank California

I use to manage a very busy full service family rest. similar to B.Angus. In this day and age, and especially in L.A., I highly doubt any chain or individual manager would racially discriminate. To ask a group to leave takes quite a bit. I don't ever recall asking a group to leave in my entire experience, a few individuals or a couple maybe, but never a group. I do believe you did get some bad service (maybe it was busy or they were short staffed?). The SECOND you play the race card though, the corporate office has two choices. Apologize and acknowledge that your story is true (then they might have a Denny's type of racial PR disaster on their hands) or deny it.

The sooner you put aside your racial paranoia, the sooner you might be able to deal with bad situations more rationally. I just can't see any establishment in Los Angeles shunning Latinos. I managed in Eagle Rock.

I worked as a waitress and bartender while I worked on my Social Work degree - the only person that was expelled from my work was a man with a knife - this story is full of HOLES

I waited tables for several years and never witnessed any customers being tossed. Seems there is something more to this story that was conveniently omitted. Something stinks on this flounder pier and it ain't the flounder! Cough up the "real" story!

You see, most of the workers in restaurants are latino too. I don't see any of them getting thrown out.

The only color that matters to most businesses is green. Money green.

I waited tables while working on my BSW and I also bartened - There is a reason patrons are banned or asked to leave a facility - tell the REAL TRUTH - Quit this because I was a Latino thing and tell the REAL TRUTH

You need to give more information. Why was the service bad? Why do you think you had bad service because you were Latino. It sounds like you got upset with the people that worked there, what did you say to them? I have seen maybe two customers in my entire waiting tables career ever asked to leave a restaurant and not return. In both cases the customer took it too far. I have seen a ton of customers get irrate, cuss, throw a tantrum and still not asked to leave. You almost have to physically attack someone to get asked to leave. I am sure you have a reason to get upset but did you really get asked to leaves because you are Latino or did you get out of control in the restaurant? What do you think Kevin?

Hi
First off, I want to say that what you went through was obviously very traumatic to you. We all have suffered through bad service providers, and we can only draw conclusions as to why we got that service, unless the person is extremely honest and says, "the reason I treated you so bad is...." and means it.

Anyways, you seem quick to rush to judgment that the reason you were treated so bad is racially motivated. It is horrible that the manager did not care about your business and was non-chalant about not having a business card for you. I still don't see how this is racism. Just because someone doesn't have a card doesn't stop you from getting info. Maybe having them write down her name, number, and her immediate supervisor's info would be just as good.

Your complaint is missing some important items: How did you let them know about the service when it started? How did the ignoring happen - did they continually skip over you to seat other patrons, or did they just not seat you in a timely manner when you walked in? Did you immediately accuse them?

Did you start the bad feelings by prefacing this whole event with your conclusions? Did the manager say anything to give an idea that this was racially motivated, such as derogatory racist words, or "you people" or anything like that? I know that when we are relating stories, we may put ourselves in automatic "victim" mode, and that we were just innocently minding our business and WHAM we got treated bad without any provocation from us.

That is just natural, but sometimes it helps to reflect on what we said and did that helps the overall picture. I am not saying you were not treated badly, but I would be interested to know both sides.

As a side note, I have went to that particular Black Angus maybe 4-5 times when I worked in Glendale. I am not Latino, (half Asian, half white) but I did have two Latino co-workers that would always go to lunch with me, and we never got any bad service or got any feeling that we were being overlooked.

I didn't have to ever ask for the manager, so I don't know if Jennifer was there or not. As for the Black Angus as a chain, I have never had a problem with them, although there are better steakhouses.

Assuming you are an attorney, as indicated by your use of Esquire, please review the following:

The Superscript TM denotes someone who is claiming a phrase, slogan, design or other as "Trademarked"

The denotes someone who has federally registered and received a certificate certifying that their phrase, slogan, design or other has been trademarked.

The denotes someone who is claiming copyright to some work, whether it's music, written, spoken, or otherwise.

Typically the and the are not used together as if it's trademarked, then it's not copyrighted and vice versa. As an attorney, you would normally already know this.

I have been in Stuart Anderson's Black Angus restaurants off and on for over 30 years some have better service than others, but generally the food is always excellent. If you are indeed judging all Black Angus restaurants by the conduct of only one, you are engaging in commercial bigotry. I would be surprised if, you are indeed a lawyer, that you would open up yourself and those that you work for to any kind of potential libel.

Additionally, my research indicates that Ace Productions Entertainment Group is a recording label and not a news organization. I think you probably did get bad service from a restaurant, but don't trash all of them because of one. That would be akin to trashing all of a race because of a perceived wrong by one, such as latinos.

The composition of the report indicates that its author is primarily a spanish speaker. Commas are used rather infrequently in spanish composition, and what english speakers would consider run-on sentences are entirely acceptable in spanish speaking and writing.

Thus, if the reporter has spanish as a first language, then the style of the prose speaks less to poor writing capabilities and more to sub-par mechanical translation.

As for the "Esq.": in America, it is normally only used to refer to an attorney. In the rest of the world, however, it is used generally as an honorific form of "mister" when referring to a man of intelligence or professional office. Whether it is appropriate to refer to yourself as Esquire depends on your individual culture. In some circles, it is tantamount to referring to yourself as "sir" - you would appear conceited if you did so. Some cultures use esquire to refer to a landowner of "unspecified acreage," others define an Esquire as "a man inferior to a gentleman by blood, but superior by office."

Maybe that will help you in a game of trivial Pursuit some time in the future.

Please. Frankly, I don't know whether you have a valid complaint or not because your supposed "press release" rambles aimlessly. It's full of basic errors in spelling, syntax, punctuation, capitalization and grammar - all of which are major distractions from your story.

Furthermore, the combination of all these mistakes tends to greatly degrade your credibility. This is your supposed profession, yet you cannot even construct a reasonable paragraph. Again, I can't even tell what supposedly happened.

Finally, "Esq" is generally used to indicate one is an attorney. Is that your claim as well? Just curious.
