Damon Whitfield and his driving partner, Hector Madera, had a terrible experience at a Denny's in South Dakota. They stopped for a quick bite and shower off Interstate 29, and Whitfield was seated, given a menu, and orange juice while he waited for Hector. But when Hector arrived, their server suddenly became uncooperative.
Whitfield noticed that the server was serving people that came in before and after them, but she never returned to take their order. When Hector tried to get her attention, she told him she didn't appreciate him yelling at her. Whitfield defended his partner, saying he had only said, "Excuse me"; however, the server told them she didn't want them at her table and threatened to call the police if they didn't leave. When Whitfield asked what they had done wrong, she replied, "No idea."
Unfortunately, neither Whitfield nor Madera received a response from Denny's corporate offices until the video of the incident went viral on social media. After the story spread, the restaurant released a statement saying they have a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination and that they foster an inclusive environment where every guest feels welcome.
