Restaurant Staff Refuses To Serve Black Soldier.. She Returns The Next Day And Does THIS

Please Share

When Diana, a black female soldier, walked into a restaurant, all she wanted was to get her food and return to work. However, things went awry when the staff refused to serve her. The next day, she returned and did something shocking.

That fateful day, Tiano walked into the restaurant during peak lunch hours. Most workers were on lunch break from work, and as such, the restaurant was filled with customers. It was quite a busy day for the staff. All around them, the hushed whisper of the customers could be heard; everyone was keeping their voices down as they talked. It was as if breaking the quiet of the restaurant was sacrilegious.

Diana had been working hard since morning. She had a report to two of her superiors who had been at opposite ends of the city. She had struggled with traffic and still managed to get her job done. Now all she could think about was her next meal. She was famished, and all she wanted was to eat and regain her strength so she could return to work after her lunch break.

However, right from the moment she stepped foot into the restaurant, she noticed that the place became a bit quieter as everyone stopped what they were doing to glance at her. They were all trying to hide the fact that they were staring, but they were failing miserably at it. This made her a bit uncomfortable. She wondered why they were all staring at her. She became a bit self-conscious and wondered if her clothes were torn or dirty.

She said nothing, though, and gave a weak smile as she walked further into the restaurant towards the counter. She saw that the eyes were still following her, and that was when she realized what was odd about the whole thing. She was the only black person in the restaurant. She stopped and looked around her; there wasn’t a single black person in the building, not the waiter nor the staff at the counter, not the patrons, no one.

This made her even more self-conscious as she wondered what could possibly be the reason. She gave a shrug and continued on to the counter. So far, she had yet to see something to dissuade her from buying her meal there. She stopped at the counter; the name on the staff’s tag read Nora. Diana beckoned to Nora and began placing her order.

When she was done, she said that she wanted it in takeout because she couldn’t eat at the restaurant due to time constraints. She knew that if she cut her lunch break short, she might be able to finish everything on time so she could close early for the day. However, as she spoke to Nora, she realized that the lady wasn’t paying her any attention. Nora kept talking to her partner, and every now and then, they laughed quietly as if they were sharing an inside joke.

This baffled Diana, and she gently slapped her palm against the counter in frustration. She asked Nora why she wasn’t taking her order and ignoring her. Nora frowned at her and told her to stop making noise. She reminded Diana that she wasn’t the only one there and she was to wait her turn. Diana found this confusing because she was the one closest to the counter, and there wasn’t even a queue.

Diana called her attention once again and repeated the order. She also said that she didn’t like the way Nora was acting. Nora only smirked at her and grudgingly asked for her order for the third time that day. Diana repeated the order to Nora who then reluctantly decided to go get it.

Before she left, though, as if for one final dig at Diana, she paused to watch a short video with her colleague and then burst out laughing as she went off. Diana watched all this but said nothing at all. She simply waited for her meal. She had so many ideas of what she could do, but she didn’t have the time.

The most important thing for her was to get her meal and leave. However, she was about to get way more than that. When Nora returned and handed the food over to her, Diana was shocked to find that it wasn’t her order. Nora had served something entirely different from what she wanted. Diana was baffled; it didn’t make any sense how she could have messed up her order because no one else had placed any order.

She returned the meal to Nora and told her that she couldn’t accept it because it wasn’t what she had ordered. Nora looked shocked by this, and then she became annoyed. She told Diana that she was going through a lot and she didn’t need her making things difficult for her. They were at their peak period of the day, and Diana just had to deal with it.

Nora then told her that she had to take the meal like that; there was nothing else that could be done. Now it was Diana’s turn to be annoyed; she had already endured so much from Nora, and this was the height of it. The staff had been rude to her ever since she set eyes on her, and Diana was fed up.

She told Nora to get her order right because there was no way she was going to take the food. She said that it wasn’t just because she didn’t want to eat that food, but also because it had an ingredient that she was allergic to; she couldn’t dare eat it for her own sake. Nora only rolled her eyes and said she didn’t care; she said that she was sure Diana was only making it up.

Then Nora told her that she wasn’t serving her anymore; she grabbed the food from the top of the counter where Diana had kept it, and then she shoved it into a drawer. She told Diana to leave; that it was because of things like this that they refused to serve black customers or even employ them as staff.

Nora said it was because they were just too much trouble and they didn’t have enough money to pay for their meals. Nora then told her that she had to leave the premises and go somewhere that was more suited for her race. At that moment, thousands of thoughts went through her mind as Diana stood there in shock.

She couldn’t believe that all the disrespect that she had been getting from Nora was because of the color of her skin. They were ready to kick her out of the restaurant and let her go hungry just because she was black. For the first time in a long time, Diana was shocked beyond words as she stood there.

The manager of the restaurant walked in, and Diana felt a sense of elation; she believed that the manager would be more ethical and make things right. However, she was wrong. Without even listening to what had happened, he told her to get off the premises and never come back. He said that if she did, they’d be forced to call the cops.

In all her years as a soldier, fighting for her country and keeping the citizens safe from external threats, this was the first time she experienced discrimination on such a grand scale. Normally, people tried to disguise it and lied about their intentions, hoping to catch her off guard, and she had to live with that her entire life.

Diana came from a long line of soldiers; her father used to be in the Army, but he was forced to retire when he fell terminally ill. Due to her father’s reputation, Diana had a smooth ride through school; she didn’t have to deal with bullies or things of that sort. People who discriminated against her because she was black couldn’t dare to do it to her face because they were scared of her father.
