Employers don't have to fight claims, they only have to deny them. It is the employee who has to fight and I highly doubt a minimum wage worker has the resources to do so.

An example:

Unemployment Compensation -- Misconduct

Nothing in there indicates misconduct being defined by an employer's alleged racist remarks.

This social issue kind of irks me more than most, as I have been a server and bartender in the past, and witnessed their tipping habits first hand.
And, of course, you have served the vast majority of black folks in this country. I tip according to the service received. If the service is good, I am very generous. If the service is poor, I want the server to know I am dissatisfied. I have never felt obligated to leave a percentage-based tip for poor service. Perhaps some people subconsciously provide subpar service to blacks due to a preconceived expectation (such as yours) of receiving a smaller tip.

There is no justification for the behavior of this delivery person. It speaks volumes that you chose to focus on the “poor tipping habits of black people,” rather than the despicable behavior of the delivery person.
