I so wish I could have a manager like that. This was my second summer working in the hell beneath the golden arches.

I commend your manager’s compassionate nature on this issue. The world would be a much better place if there were more people like him. I wouldn’t have let Keisha go in this situation because that trash will never be worth losing your freedom to.

I’m patently surprised that ” .. and the entire clientele gave the manager a standing ovation” was not the ending to that superb story.

I would’ve let Keisha go. After handing her a wrench. And similar to Paula’s comment above, I started watching Star Trek when I was seven and didn’t realize that Geordi or Worf were black ’till I was about twelve. Also, we had this family in my school, the Ekwaboos (I think that was the spelling). Everyone knew them, everyone liked them, and when trying to explain to someone else who they were nobody ever thought to mention they were the only black family in the highschool.

Ok, first i want to say that i just discovered this site and love it!*also wish i could give that former Mgr. of yours a great big hug! Now on with the topic here. I recently started working somplace and was just in a meting yesterday with one of the head people and another new person. Purpose of the meeting was to learn more about what he did there. Well somehow we got off topic and finding out that the other woman that i was with used to be in real estateand that her bf is still in real estate he asked her if she would be able to help him find a place nearby. Fine and dandy! As it turns out he had seen ads for several different places in the area but when he talked to the reciponist as soon as she found out the area she told him *You don’t even want to look there. Your not the right color!* To this i sat there stunned! The woman sitting next to me said she understood his delima. I looked at them both and told them both that i didn’t understand their problem. Please understand, I am from Philly. I was also the only white/chinese feamale in any of my classes, therefore i was rasied not to see color but to see PEOPLE! I told these people this and asked them what they think the big deal is. Neither one had an answer, they just looked at me with that funny *How do you not see the problem* look and continued on with the pervious discussion.
