An Olive Garden in Evansville, Indiana, has fired one of their managers after discovering that they honored a racist request from one of their customers, reports Today.
According to the article, a white couple allegedly requested a nonblack server, and the manager agreed to their demand. It is not clear what became of the original server who was helping the couple before they requested the change.
Several nearby customers overheard the conversation and protested the decision on social media, which led the chain restaurant to take action against the manager in question.
Maxwell Robbins was eating at the restaurant with his wife and a friend when he witnessed the exchange between the manager and the couple. He later made a post on his Facebook page that detailed the incident, saying he wanted to take a stand against the racism permitted at Olive Garden. His post has since been shared over 2,000 times.
