OK so I was in Frankie and Benny's tonight, and this lady started shouting at the staff.
As far as me and my mum can understand (as we were sat next to the argument, we heard pretty clearly and the manager lady explained it) the woman was shouting the staff and accused them of being racist because the staff were forcing her to pay before her meal just because she was a gypsy. The staff claimed that it wasn't being racist, but tbh I agree with the woman that it's terrible!
Because we were disturbed by this, the manager lady came and explained to us what had happened, and apparently, they do not allow gypsys into Frankie and Benny's at all. But because this lady had pre-booked they had to let her in, but forced her to pre-pay.
So basically the staff judge people and decide if they are gypsys or not; if they are, they are not allowed in. And this is a policy..
Do you think this is racism or not? Do you think that it is justified not to let gypsys in just because they are gypsys? What do youu think??
was gonna put this in debates, but the debate section scares me.
