Miami Restaurant
Listen
Robert speaks with Charles Thompson, an African American man that has accused the Miami restaurant "Thai Toni" of unfairly adding gratuity to his check because of his race. Thompson and his wife Theresa White, an African American couple from Miami, Florida dined October 23 at "Thai Toni." Thompson says when they received their check, he found that the gratuity had already been added. When he checked with a white couple sitting nearby, he noticed that the same had not been done to their check. He complained to the owner, Hiromi "Toni" Takarada, who responded that he did that because "blacks don't tip well." The state of Florida is now suing "Thai Toni" for deceptive and unfair trade practices.
