[nagdu] Discrimination

[Larry D Keeler]

I had a similar incident several years ago at a Korean owned chicken place. 
I used to go there all of the time but, they got after me when I walked in 
with Holly. I got my order from outside and never went back. What a shame! 
They had really good chicken!
