Chris Rock's mom: Cracker Barrel discriminated - CNN.com

Rose Rock, the mother of comedian Chris Rock, claims she was racially discriminated against when she was seated but ignored for a half hour at a Cracker Barrel restaurant along the South Carolina coast.

Sometimes I wish I was black. Or, rather, I wish I could go back in time and be black every time I was ignored by wait staff or had bad service. Then, instead of just figuring the service sucks, complain and never go back I could file a lawsuit saying that I was discriminated against. In fact, we were at a Chinese restaurant the other night and we asked for water. After 20 minutes of it not coming, I had to go ask again for it. DISCRIMINATION!!! Oh wait, that can't be discrimination because I'm not a minority. But, if I had Rose Rock with me, we could sue!

She said when she asked the manager about the delay she was told they could have a free meal.

"He never called over the waitresses and asked, 'Why did these people sit here for a half hour without service?' " she said. "The only thing he said was we could have a free meal and neither of us wanted to eat."

I've complained about slow service or bad service before to managers. And, I have never once had a manager call a waitress over and belittle her by asking why the service was bad in front of me. Did she expect the manager to do that? Make a person who probably makes $4.10 an hour embarassed and belittle her in front of customers?

Is anyone else tired of people suing because of 'discrimination' for crap like this? Just because you're a minority, doesn't mean you're being discriminated against because of it. Sometimes, service at a restaurant just sucks.
