[Wasagdu] [Wcb-l] Mary's Victory

Well, this is a good ending.  Too bad the manager was so 
stubborn.  He caused embarrassment to his employer, stress to 
Mary Beth and now has lost his job to boot.    Debby

Thought you all would like to know the end of the story re the 
restaurant.
Enjoy your day.





Update: The restaurant has issued an apology on its Facebook page 
and in a
comment below.  It says:

Hana Japanese Steakhouse genuinely apologizes for Ms.  Metzger's 
experience.
The manager's actions were not in accordance with company policy 
and have
caused great embarrassment to our establishment.  Hana Japanese 
Steakhouse
and the manager have since parted ways.  Since Hana opened in 
2009, the
company's policy has prohibited discrimination based on race,

Ms.
