This is disgusting why haven't this family been identified? They are a disgrace to Britain.
How do they they manage in this country, no hotel, bar, cafe or any other establishment would adhere to their racist requests.
It was said “The Ritz-Carlton has policies in place prohibiting discrimination and harassment and takes very seriously all allegations of discrimination and harassment.”
It would appear not since their requests where entered on the Hotel's computer system.
Do you believe everything, word for word, that you read in the papers?
It's you making assumptions not me....
Anti depressants....give me a break. If every person form a ethnic minority needed anti depressants everytime they heard a racist remark....Jeez.
Better make sure Alf Garnet (can't remember the name) is never shown on TV again. Our surgeries will be flooded with people with hurt feelings needing drugs to overcome it...
I read this article yesterday and commented to my oh that I didn't believe the story as told by the waiter. I did not follow ummmm in the way you seem to think and nor did anyone else that I can ascertain.
In the circumstances i can't believe some of the answers, I have been lynched in my absence for saying much less.
I can imagine the abuse I would have suffered if I had chosen to approach this news story differently, that is by saying what most of you have said, that the waiter was making the whole thing up.
I don't believe he was upset . He must have had hundreds remarks of a similar manner during his life . That doesn't excuse it but it's life.
The family and the hotel should be heavily fined.
I assume the family starved during their stay in the hotel as everyone would have an American accent. Even if they employed only English waiters they would still have problems as there are more than a hundred recognisable English accents and if you include the Scots, Irish and the Welsh you can double that number.
yeah you would think the hotel would have stayed loyal to their member of staff that had been working for them for 15 years. seeing as it says family, I'm assuming there are kids involved. their the ones i feel sorry for, been brought up with such prejudice drummed into their heads :\
