I thought it was May 11,2014 not May 11,1914. I suppose I missed the sign saying "No Blacks Allowed." I see this place all the time but today I finally decided to check it out. What a mistake that was! I did not mind waiting to order, but when everyone else had their order taken and not myself, I was a little taken aback. I asked other patrons (all of whom were Caucasian) if they had already ordered; when I received a "yes" response from each of them, I inquired, quite politely, despite being rather annoyed, about why my order was not being taken. To may utter shock, not only was I completely ignored, but the man taking orders turned his back to me dismissively, without responding. By that point, I decided to leave, as I refuse to spend my hard earned money at an establishment that practices such an antiquated method of treating customers. I want to let everyone know how a business located in one of the most beautifully diverse places on earth could be so despicable.
