1994 Denny's Restaurants to Pay $54 Million in Race Bias Suits - Worst lawsuit win EVER

Recommended Posts

Was reminded of this today. I used to live in Annapolis, while working out of Baltimore for a few years. 

I was living there 1990-93 and this all happened while I was there. I used to go to Denny's once a week or so for breakfast. It was just a normal Denny's. No big deal.

There wasn't really a big racial divide at the time there in Annapolis, but for some reason, a certain Denny's, that was just an everywhere USA Denny's was frequented on weekends by young black people. they made it their hang out on weekends. They would flood the place at night, and stay through the whole night just hanging out. Buying as little as they could to not be kicked out. It became a huge story in that city. Employees were quitting (no mdc worked in philly at a Denny's not Annapolis), the business was being driven into the ground. I went once on the weekend after a night out getting some drinks, and they put us ahead of a long line of black people (all 20 somethings) and gave us a table. The blacks were PISSED. The place was normally typical racial mix during the week days, but on this weekend night we were the only whites in the place. It was like what I imagine generalpimpledoosh deals with daily at his job at chuck e cheese. Uncontrollable children but they were all in their 20s. 

On these nights they always put whites to the front the front of the line because they were there to consume the product. Not to use the place as a hang out.

The employees were pissed at the clientele. Black employees included. They were making no money, and simply there to give free refills to those who were treating the place like a school gym. 

The place got closed down by the city for race bias. But that race, was just using the business as a hang out. They weren't really customers, because someone at a table would buy some toast, and 5 others would just go in to hang out with them and socialize. 

Worst law suit won ever.

My friends growing up worked at PF Changs (which has many Vegan options) ... they hated getting huge groups of Indian family's (who love Vegan food) because they would always order food,  water (WITH NO ICE) and then leave no tips.  So they all fought over who DIDN'T get that table.   That location has since closed down.

Yep. I've worked with East Indians for years. Whenever the projects I was on organized team dinners, it always had to be an Indian restaurant. In all my time at that job, I only met one Indian dude who would eat a hamburger. And cheap asses. All of them.

Not gonna lie.  The biggest freak in bed I was ever with was a Bangladeshi Muslim girl.  But yeah, most of them are cheap pains in the ass. Second was a Mexican girl.  Third Puerto Rican.

That's funny. I slept with one Indian chick in my life. She was a "do everything for me" princess. I got out of that quickly. I did date a Mexican girl for 2 years and I moved away to do my thing but I did miss that girl. 

One of my brothers married a Puerto Rican. And divorced her not long after. That chick then stalked him as he moved from Iowa, to Illinois to California. He finally had to get the cops involved to get rid of her. 😆

Sounds about right haha the Asian girls are subservient.   Mexican girls are pretty chill.  Puerto Rican's are angry.    Black girls and White girls can be all over the map.
