A customer at the restaurant in Evansville, Indiana, asked to be served by a white staff member in an alleged racist incident that Olive Garden is investigating.

The Italian restaurant chain Olive Garden has fired one of its outlet's manager for allegedly complying with a customer's request not to be served by black staff members.

"The manager complied and I do agree that was a bad decision at the moment but there was a better way that could have been handled," she said. "I would never expect it to be so apparent in public like it's 2020, not 1920 and I feel like it should take more than social media to get a problem like this out there."Courier and Press
