Three Applebee's employees fired for racially profiling two African-American customers

Blacks in Missouri playing the innocent card? Give me a fucking
break.

Three Applebee's employees have been fired amid allegations that
they racially profiled two African-American women dining at a
location in Missouri over the weekend, company officials said.

St. Louis resident Alexis Brison was having dinner with a friend
at an Applebee's in Independence, Mo., on Saturday when their
feast of buffalo wings and mozzarella sticks was interrupted by
a police officer, a mall security guard and a restaurant
manager. To Brison and her friend's surprise, the trio accused
them of "dining and dashing" at the same location the night
before.

"We have not been here before. We're just trying to enjoy our
dinner," Brison can be heard saying in a video of the encounter
that she posted to Facebook.

"This is what black people have to deal with," she added, as the
officer continued to ask them questions.

The video quickly went viral and had been viewed more than 2
million times as of Monday evening. "This is a clear example of
RACIAL PROFILING that should not be stood for," Brison wrote in
a post accompanying the video.

Applebee's did not take Brison's allegations lightly.

"After an internal investigation and in line with our values,
the franchisee terminated the manager, server and another
employee involved in the incident," the restaurant chain said in
a statement Monday night. "We do not tolerate racism, bigotry or
harassment of any nature."

The booted employees were not identified. Their former workplace
was temporarily shut down after their firings so that staff can
"regroup, reflect, learn and grow from this," company officials
said.
