She could have easily asked for a name for the order. If they asked why she could have said she was knew there and it would have helped her bring back the correct order in a timely manor. Jones table #6 would have also reenforced the table number in her head helping her memorize them more quickly. Most customers view asking for a name as a personal and excellent form of customer service. People like to hear there name.
Why do you have to complicate black couple. Its nothing racist about ot until a piece of crap human being had to make it a big deal and get whitey fired.
Come live in Texas for a while and you'll understand.
I lived in Dallas for 18 months and currently live in Houston. I love the city of Houston. Its very diverse and not as racially segregated as Dallas. Getting a hair cut as a black man in Texas isn't as easy as it was in Florida though. In South Florida most barbers have no problem cutting black hair. In Texas most non black barbers look at me like I am crazy if I walk into the barbershop. This goes for whites, asians and hispanics. I have been told several times in Texas we don't cut your kind of hair here, once from a white women and multiple times from Hispanic women.
She's naïve and made a mistake, and she could have learned what you described without being fired. If I were that couple, I would feel pretty bad that I had a part in someone being fired. They should step and request she get her job back.
When the Hispanics take over they are not going to put up with this PC crap I'll tell you.
No walking on eggshells around them. And personally I prefer it that way.
Mehicans, takin back Merica one white womens and one disjointed negro liberal at a time.

Kimberly with a i is a piece of crap human being.
Its really sad that you see a way for her to better her customer service as well as learn the tables more quickly as being too complicated.
It's amazing how easily you folks are offended that someone else is offended. Of course, you always seem to think that the person being offended should have a thicker skin... But then you are not the ones being repeatedly insulted or reduced to a stereotype or being referenced by a simplistic description.
This one may be a minor example, but we all know there are worst descriptions applied to people all the time. And although "black couple" is not very offensive, it just may be the straw that broke the camel's back.
Maybe if you were more exposed to this yourselves you would feel differently; but then you'd loose the opportunity to complain once more about the horrible things black people do.

That is true since Blacks are a much smaller minority than Hispanics.
Black women though don't seem to have a problem. They must have a network.
And I'm always in total awe at what Black women can do with their hair.
Me..fine, thin hair that can't hold a curl and has to be washed every day.

I think you are just looking for things to be offended about.
