RACISM IS BACK IN THIS PLACE
DAVENPORT, FL LOCATION, Myself and my partner were discriminated against and racially profiled at this Miller's Ale House by the greeter when entering. Myself (a black man) and a (black woman) went here to eat lunch and as soon as we walked in, their was no one at the stand but when she arrived a minute later, she just looked at the woman I was with and did not greet at all. Very rude, just staring at my partner. She asked "how many" and "where we would like to be seated"?. We said "in a booth". The hispanic greeter, told us to have a seat and it will be about 5 minutes, she's going to have someone clean off the booth that was free" , next to the bar. She then made no contact with anyone to clean off the booth, as we sat down by the front door. Another Hispanic family (walked in after us), and the female spoke to the greeter and then the greeter took the hispanic family to a booth, while we had to wait for a booth still. After about 10 minutes of waiting, no one had cleaned off the booth by the bar, we were not seated at a different booth, we had to continue to wait. I went to the restroom and I walked to the empty booth by the bar and notice it was clean, the seats were clean, the floor was clean, the table was clean with a few drops of water on the table. The greeter made no contact with any waitress to clean the booth, probably because the waitress assumed the booth was clean, because it was clean. Nothing was wrong with the table and we could have been seated a long time ago. I have been seated at booths for years in Florida and those few specs of water on the table, was no reason to not seat us. It was not even any crumbs or anything. She could have easily sat us there. I went to the bathroom, came back out and still my partner had not been seated at that booth or any booth. I asked the greeter what's wrong with us just sitting at the booth, she went to look at it and said "it's not clean", but it was clean. She was being very rude and clearly had a problem with black people, so now I got a problem with her and this company. Another 10 minutes of sitting and standing past, and we finally said "let's just sit at the bar." The bar tender came to greet us and I told her we had been waiting for the booth right behind us. She roles her eyes, leaves the bar, and within 30 seconds of me turning around and looking at the booth, she was sitting another hispanic party at that booth. The bar tender wipes the few specs of water off the clean booth, then sits the hispanic guys down. We decided to leave this company with racist employees and head next door to Chilli's. We were immediately greeted at Chilli's by a friendly woman who sat us down, we were served , ate, and out of chills within 30 minutes. This hispanic greeter seated 2 hispanic parties at booths, that all came in after us 2 black people. I will never, ever give any Miller's Ale House my money ever again.
