That's odd.  Reguardless, their history of dicrimination was proven.  Hard
evidence found in the employees rules distributed to all Denny's stated
that people of different classes are to be treated differently.

As for my personal experience, I went to Denny's with some friends before
going to a punk oriented party.  After we ordered, the waitress stared at
us with dirty looks and proceeded to harrass us.  She looked nervous by us
being there.  She eventually asked if we were going to pay for the food. 
She then told us that she expected us to pay for the food, and warned us
of how fast the police would be here if we didn't.  All this went on
before we were even served food.  We ate, paid, walked out.  Then we came
back in to raise hell and make it known to all the customers what
treatment we recieved.  BTW: this particular resturaunt has a rule that
children must be accompanied by an adult; luckily I had ID to show I was 18.

How did they treat you that would give you that feeling?  I'm white too,
as some others that were with me, but because we didn't appear to have
money, that's why we had problems there.  My situation wasn't a racial
one, but Denny's has no problem discriminating against race or class, as
so many come to learn.

I usually don't even look at the names I reply to.  I read a post and
respond reguardless of author.  If it looks like you've been targeted, we
probably disagree on multiple things.  187 is all I really tend to
discuss, but I take the liberal side on just about every issue.  Maybe
you're an extreme conservative, in which case I don't mind targeting you :)
