Two men walk into a restaurant at the exact same time, and there is only one open table. If the hostess escorts the black man to the table first, that's good customer service, everyone is happy. BUT - if the white man complains, he's labeled a racist. Now if the hostess acknowledges the white man first and seats him, then she's labeled a racist, and the restaurant is smeared for employing bigots. It's all over social media, the place is boycotted, yada, yada, yada.

You see how it's a catch 22 situation? At the end of the day, you are forced to cater to the black man, otherwise it will be considered racist. End of story.
But that is not what happened here. He was asked to prepay for his food and drinks and when he asked a white couple of they were asked to prepay he found out they weren't.

In the story he asked the waitress about having to prepay and the waitress told him that her boss was forcing her to do it and she thought it was discrimination.

If the boss makes the waitress force a black guy to prepay, but doesn't force her to have a white person prepay it is pretty obvious there are racial issues at work here.
