Restaurant Staff Fired Following Discriminatory Incident

Following an incident at a Texas IHOP where a couple was denied service due to their race, the restaurant's parent company, Anthraper Restaurants, has taken action. The manager and servers involved have been terminated after an investigation into the discriminatory behavior. The couple, Keisha Mitchell and Elvis Polley, were left astonished when they were turned away at the restaurant. Mitchell shared their experience on social media, leading to public outrage. The manager’s attempt to justify the server's actions as being “picky” rather than discriminatory was met with disbelief by the couple. Despite the IHOP’s attempt to defend the server’s 25 years of experience, Mitchell described the incident as deeply traumatizing. Anthraper Restaurants stated that they do not tolerate any form of discrimination and are committed to providing a welcoming environment for all guests. The company will be implementing additional anti-harassment and anti-discrimination training to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
