Black Man Denied Service Over A F**king Coupon!

Link Alexander was denied service at a pizza establishment. The Pizza Inn responds to the controversy.

In the city of Rocky Mount, North Carolina, a Black Man was denied service at a nationally based pizza company called The Pizza Inn.

He goes into the Pizza Inn with a coupon he earned from his employer. The worker questioned the coupon and told the assistant manager. The assistant manager denied the service.

The Black Man gets his White friend to go into the store later that day with the same coupon and got through without any problems.

The White friend posts it on social media and it went viral. Now the Black Man threatens a lawsuit and the local NAACP threaten a boycott of the restaurant.

Link Alexander was one pissed off customer. He felt that his race played a role in how he was served.

“He looks at the card. He looks at me. He was like, ‘So where did you get the card from?'” Alexander said. “It has to be signed by my manager, or my [district manager], and this is neither one of their signatures,” Alexander said the assistant manager told him.
He was turned away from the restaurant and left without any food. In disbelief of the situation, his white roommate, Rex Sterling, posted a video on Facebook to see if the place would allow him to use the coupon.
“I took his coupon, the same one they rejected 2 hours earlier, and went to the same Pizza Inn myself to see if my experience would be any different and also to confront the manager and ask for answers,” Sterling said in his Facebook post.
After presenting his coupon Sterling was offered to sit down and was able to use his coupon for a free meal.
Steve Stancil, who owns the Pizza Inn, said:  “We try to make our procedures clear on coupons but it does not always work. I take full responsibility in that all our managers should be on the same page and obviously they were not.”
Now what do you think about this situation? Is it safe to be Black in Trump's America?
