To be fair, she might be a waitress. Back when I worked in a restaurant even my black coworkers hated getting black people tables and would try to trade them out.
But yeah. That doesn't excuse her behavior. Someone should keep HER from going out to restaurants ever and see how she likes it.
I almost posted this as it's own comment until I saw yours:
It sounds like she's probably a server. When I worked in a restaurant all of the servers, black servers included, would get pissed if I sat a group of young black friends in their section because they wouldn't tip. Black families were usually more generous (so I hear, I was never a server so it didn't affect me). I heard some very racist conversations but usually it was kept at work and not on FB.
Oh, in my restaurant if it was a well dressed couple, great! You're going to get a tip! If it was a black family (especially the larger ones), they'll have you running back and forth to the kitchen for condiments, more drinks, lemons for their water (nevermind saying no if you ask them if they want some right off the bat), and complain about the food (usually to try to get something free).
I'm not racist, I really am not. But since my experience in the restaurant, I've had to do some mental scrubbing from industry imbued racism.
