Seems like this is a big news story. Sounds like B Dubs is trying to avoid a lawsuit. |

Can't sit a black family next to regulars who don't like the blacks. Gotta ask the blacks to move to another area so the regular can enjoy their fine dining. |

They should also be sued because 1/3 of their boneless wings end up being chunks of crunchy breading with no “meat” in them. |

A white customer asked a black host to ask a party of 18 what race they were, and then told the host he didn't want them seated next to him if they were black, and the black host complied with the customer's request? |

Told the black party about the feelings of the regular. The black party still sat there and was eventually asked to move. MANY were fired. |

Here's the OP: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10100291362395576&set=a.546707897186&type=3&theater UPDATE (11/4): Thank you for your continued support! Please continue sharing our story! Unfortunately YELP is attempting to silence us and has disabled any additional reviews on the Naperville BWW YELP page. Please utilize other platforms to provide feedback. ***************************************************** PSA: I usually don’t post these types of things but we think people need to be aware of the situation. Last night (10/26) we went to the Buffalo Wild Wings on 75th & 59 with a party of 18. Upon being greeted, my husband Justin told the host that we had a party of 15. After he realized that he miscounted, my husband walked over to the tables to where the host was setting up and told him we actually had 18. A couple minutes went by and the host went up to my husband and asked “what race are you guys?” My husband asked him why it mattered and the host responded that a table with 2 of their “regular customers” were next to where we were to be seated and he didn’t want us sitting there because he’s “racist.” “Us” being a group of minorities, mostly consisting of African Americans.... so of course, we don’t give him the satisfaction and told the host we’ll sit where they set us up. We knew right away who it was because the guy was staring at us the entire time and giving us looks as we were being seated. As we sit, our waiter greets us and gets some drinks & app orders started. After a few minutes we notice that an employee is talking to the “racists table” and approaches us and communicates to Justin and Marcus “these seats are reserved and we will have to move your group.” The guys politely tell him that we’re not moving and request to speak to the manager in which he says he’s one of the managers (John). Meanwhile, we’ve told our waitress what was happening and she makes a comment indicating that she’s already aware he’s a racist because he’s a regular. How is an establishment ok with serving people who try to control which types of people sit around them?! It was not ok that that a person of management was willing to move 6 adults and 12 children versus 2 grown adults who are uncomfortable sitting by black folks!! At this point we’re uncomfortable for being put in this situation. The service manager (Hannah) now approaches us, after already speaking to the other table, to say that it was told to her that our seats were already reserved by a party of 18 that called in. Hmm, could that be us?! Although we walked in with no call, if these tables were in fact reserved there would have been a reserved sign on the table. At this time management is giving every excuse for their “misunderstanding” because John decides to change his story in front of his superior. We call him out on his words and tell him he didn’t “think the tables were reserved” and blatantly told us they WERE reserved and we HAVE to move our group. It’s apparent that this staff knows these two individuals as they were playful with conversation and took their time to make our experience difficult. 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. A moment to hangout with a group of friends after a birthday party, turned into a discussion with our young impressionable sons about how we didn’t get kicked out, but willingly CHOSE to leave because of the unfair treatment we were being given. This Buffalo Wild Wings location has lost our business indefinitely. Thank you to the Hootersfor serving our group and the patrons of Hooters for not being close-minded people that would ruin the night of others. #closedmindedpeoplewillnotprosper |

Only things missing are Once upon a time and where the racist customer pointed to his hat and said “‘don’t they know this is MAGA country ???? “ |

These stories always seem kind of unbelievable until you actually walk around on a day to day basis with a black person and witness them. On the one hand, I would never even think about asking a person "what's your race". On the other hand, I was in line at a grocery store about 5 years back with a black friend who wasn't buying anything. The cashier called the manager, who came over and said to him that if he wasn't buying anything, he'd have to leave the store. |

Was the racist customer identified? Did the other party of 18 ever show up to corroborate the restaurant's claim that the tables were already reserved? |

It sounds pretty outrageous to be honest. If I'm a black customer and get asked that right when I walk in, first thing I'm doing is calling a manager and the next thing I'm doing is leaving the restaurant. And you can't bank on the fact that the restaurant fired people because it really did happen, but given that they did, its very possible it did happen. |

If you are going to a BW3(the real name) then you should not expect it to be quiet. |

There is no way a public facing service industry corporation would just can someone without cause. There was almost certainly an investigation. This "regular" apparently was well known about being the Grand Wizard of the Naperville chapter of the KKK that everyone else knew about him, too. The idea that "nothing happened" is quite naive. As always, there's 2 sides to a story, and the only one that is public facing is the group of 18. That said, I think we're all missing the obvious question here. How does this affect Julie DiCaro. |
