IHOP in Maine apologizes after server makes black teens pay upfront for meal

An IHOP in Maine is apologizing after a server asked a group of black teenagers to prepay for their meal.

The manager of the Auburn restaurant, Melvin Escobar, told the Sun Journal he does not believe the incident was racially motivated. “We don’t discriminate (against) people for what they are or who they are,” he said. “This is the first time it happened, and that will be the last time.”

The restaurant has had a number of people, mainly teenagers, skip out on their bills in recent months and Escobar thinks the server was trying to prevent it from happening again.

What they are not saying is he has skipped out several times before.

I am a white privileged male and ordered a breakfast sandwich at McDonald's. A black female charged me before I received the sandwich. I thought nothing of it. Maybe I should sue.

Nothing wrong with it. Blame your other fellow blacks for making your people look bad. Don't blame someone for trying to stop the crime before it is committed. Damn crybabies. I saw some black teens sneak into Golden Corral before. Did them no good, as they sat down to eat their food, I informed the owner he had thieves in the restaurant. He kicked them out after they got just a taste. I got a good laugh from it. And the satisfaction of stopping those thugs. See something, say something. They will commit crimes even if you are looking right at them. Same with some shoplifters one day in the mall. I saw them stuffing some jeans into a bag they brought from home. Tired to make it look like they had just purchased something from the store. Didn't work. I caught them. Turned them in. Saw some stealing makeup in the Fruitland Wal-Mart. Didn't work. Yep, I caught them. Turned them in. I have turned in more than a dozen over the last few years. Even some that tried to do the movie hop at the theater at the mall. Watch a movie and then leave and go right into another movie and watch that one without paying for it. Should have seen their faces all tore up when they got caught. Mad as hell. I do get satisfaction from catching these thug fools. Sometimes they steal in groups and with their own kids.

Love reading the racism here on the shore. This whole blog is nothing but Republican white people who are miserable...poor white people think the negros are taking over and you gotta take your country back. Lmao way to MAGA. Here's a race card for you. When's the last time you white folks sat down to eat and had to pay first? Never

I don't think that white Republicans are very miserable. Most of us live in nice, clean quiet responsible neighborhoods. I think the problem is kind of what Tommy Sotomayor on Youtube talks about. Hes right on the money! Everyone should check out his Youtube channel. African Americans are killing THEMSELVES at such a rate that I doubt that whites are worried about being taken over. Lol
