Denny's employees fight terrorism their own little way...

[rh71]

Denny's employees were minorities when I went... wtf is up with their discriminatory background ?

I guess if you want to make some money, eat at a Denny's...

I just find it funny how most people reading this thread believe that Denny's is being sued. Any literate person would have read the story and known that Restaurant Collection Inc. is the one being sued. Did I mistakenly click on P&N or something

NOBODY that owns a restaurant be be caught dead in a freakin' Dennys.

:laugh:

I think most people DO understand that, but simply say "Denny's" because it's easier.

I know that's what I've been doing.

Of course, it's not your bull being gored.

The point of banning guilt by association is that it could happen to any one of us. We all know someone who is guilty of something.

The automatic assumtion of guilt here is alarming, to say the least.

This means that now, ANY minority can claim a Denny's discriminated against them, and have the support of the majority, no matter how false their claim may be.

Point taken, we tend to be too quick to jump to a conclusion before any in depth research or confirming the veracity of the stories posted here. Kinda reminds me of that thread where **supposedely** white girls got attacked on the basketball court, but the article was never to be found in any of the major press.

it's pretty blatant discrimination, i can't believe they had the balls to say that to their face. up here, a fight would have broken out.

Yet they have no balls to come and deny the accusation themselves, according to the article anyway.

Assuming the claim is true, there needs to be something done on the franchize level, seeing how the incident preceeding one brought about some positive changes. not like we havn't seen something like this happen before.

shiet they'd be smarter to just say that they refuse service to them. Most establishments have a sign that says they have the right to refuse service to anyone. They didn't have to say why, just refuse the service.

This happened in 1997. What became of it?

I think it was dismissed by the court, but headed to the appeals court or something. Dunno what happened after that. IIRC, Denny's claimed that the asian students (all international students) were trying to take advantage of denny's noteriety because of the past legal decisions that went against them. I actually knew a couple of the kids, they hardly spoke english and i highly doubt they knew enough about denny's to 'start a conspiracy'against them based on their history or whatever.

So it was tossed out of court. Evidently, it had no legal merit.

Again, there have been only a couple isolated incidents of VALIDATED cases of racism in Denny's.

It's amazing how these things take on a life of their own.

Now, because of this, any Denny's is automatically guilty of any charge of racism no matter how much, or how little merit the charges have.

Lynch mob, anyone?

Just because it was tossed out of the lower district court, doesn't mean it doesn't have merit. The lower courts can easily make mistakes. The story is that when the asian kids were tossed out, a group of white kids followed them and beat them up. The guards on duty were part of the sherrif's department and they did NOTHING to help the asian kids out. A couple of Black Syracuse University football players ran out to help the asian kids and broke up the fight, the guards then denied the black kids the right to go back to their seats inside. I tend to believe the two seperate groups (the asian kids and black kids) over denny's who claimed it was some sort of conspiracy to take advantage of their noteriety.

Um, the owner came right out and called the charges false.

The employees have been gagged by the owners lawyer, and for good reason. Any laywer worth his salt will tell a defendant, especially uneducated restaurant workers, to STFU.

They'll have their say if this ever reaches court.

Without seeing the court case, this is all hearsay and rumor.

It would be interesting to see the actual court case.

I disagree with you. Saying "franchise owner," or "owner" is just as easy as "Denny's."

Naw, Denny's is easier to type.

And everyone knows WTF I'm talking about.

Look, this isn't a legal case here in this thread. We can be a little sloppy with our terminology.

I have a T-shirt that would be perfect for you. It says, "Does "Anal Retentive" have a hyphen?

all i am saying is, if it did happen as was stated in the article, they do have something to worry about. someone mentioned the plantiffs look fishy for suing them for something that took place way back in the time. its easy to make simplified remarks ignoring legal technicalities.

As evidenced by his posts, he is sterotyping people in Florida. "It happened at a Dennys in FL, well it must be true because all Dennys and Floridians are racists because of what happened to me and a group of my friends during spring break"

Pot, meet kettle.

You owe Dennys and Florida eleventy billion dollars each.

you can stereotype all you want. its when you discrimate is when you open yourself up to a civil lawsuit

Nobody here is arguing that this wasn't wrong. We just have a sense of reason and see that incidents like this don't entitle you to become an overnight millionaire.

Because this scares the sh!t out of ambivalent employers and forces them to fire their stupid racist employees. This lawsuit will help stop public, anti-muslim racism. It's fine and dandy to be a racist or tell off color jokes in private, but in public it can throw you out of business. We might still have segregated businesses if it weren't for the various civil rights acts and the million dollar lawsuits that they've spawned.

Sheesh if everytime I get a racist treatment I sue for insanely large amount of money, I'll be stinking rich for 7 generation.

Again, I disagree with you. "owner" has 5 characters and does not require capitalization, while "Denny's" has 7 characters, one of which is punctuation, AND requires capitalization. I find it easier to believe that most of the posters in this thread are simply illiterate.

BTW, I found this SHOCKING EXPLANATION for this terrible misunderstanding. Apparently they ARE bin-ladens.

The lawyer pointed out that Denny's lost a discrimination suit in 1994. Afterward, the restaurant chain changed their policies. They now pride themselves on giving terrible service to customers of all races.

I don't eat at Denny's.

Denny's is easier for me I like double tapping my Ns.

 

[QuitBanningMe]

Denny's corporate is not being sued. It would be far harder for these bin-ladens to connect the actual chain to this incident. Not so, however, with the franchise owners who actually hired this manager.[/quote]

I think you could only connect the franchise owner if there had been previous complaints of racism. Honestly how do you tell if someone is racist at a job interview? I doubt he came out and said "yeah I'll work here but I won't serve Bin Ladens" and I can't think of any question I have been asked at a job interview that would reveal my thoughts on such subjects.

Also I wouldn't immediately fire employees especially after 16 months. We don't know the whole story and there will be no tapes of the incedent now.
