*As it should have done, a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant in the Chicago area has shown the door to several employees due to straight-up racism and stupidity.
Specifically, the restaurant made the move after a group of customers alleged they were asked to move to another table because they were black and a white customer said he was offended by their presence.
Justin Vahl and Marcus Riley, according to the Chicago Tribune, said they were at the Buffalo Wild Wings on 75th Street east of Route 59 in Naperville, IL about 8:30pm on Oct. 26 with four other adults and 12 children after a youth basketball tournament to celebrate the birthday of one of the kids.
They said that as employees set up the tables to seat the group, a host asked Vahl about his ethnicity. Vahl said he asked why it mattered.
Check this out. He said the host explained that one of the restaurant’s regular customers seated nearby “doesn’t want black people sitting near him.”
Later, a manager asked the group to move to another location because a nearby customer didn’t want to sit near black people, Vahl and Riley said.
That’s when Vahl, Riley and the others knew they were in the wrong place and left.
In the wake of the experience, Vahl’s wife, Mary, took to Facebook to detail their experience.

“How is an establishment ok with serving people who try to control which types of people sit around them?!” she wrote. “In 2019, this type of behavior should not be accepted because of certain views. If you don’t want to sit next to certain people in a public restaurant then you should probably eat dinner in the comfort of your own home.”
We have to give Buffalo Wild Wings credit ’cause after the incident, the company conducted a “thorough, internal investigation.” Then, on Sunday, Clarie Kudlata, a spokesperson for the company, confirmed that every employee involved in the incident was terminated.
“Buffalo Wild Wings values an inclusive environment and has zero-tolerance for discrimination of any kind,” Kudlata said.
Now that’s what you call doing the right thing. Props to you, Buffalo Wild Wings.
