Old news, Ren, and they've done a 180 now. I don't eat there but once in a

Hey, like I said, I already don't like their food. My Grandparents try to
drag us there everytime they come and I usually squirm out of it somehow. Now
I probably won't even try.
If it were one incident that would be one thing....but I already don't like
them.
And would they have done the 180 out of the goodness of their hearts? Would
that one employee have gotten away with it if the managers didn't condone the
behavior?
I think not.
I don't think I'm punishing any restaraunt chain by the bad actions of one
employee.
I think I'm having a huge bad taste in my mouth when I even think about
Denny's and that's something I'd rather not have when I go out to eat. There
are too many good choices to waste my time with them.
YK?

Denny's to Help Raise Funds for Civil Rights Museum
Posted Jan. 9, 2002 (Memphis, Tenn.) -- Denny's restaurants has agreed to
help the National Civil Rights Museum raise more than $1 million for the
museum's expansion and international marketing campaign.
Museum director Beverly Robertson said the restaurant chain will announce the
specifics of a plan to donate part of its proceeds to the museum later this
week.
Denny's, which settled one of the biggest race discrimination lawsuits in
history seven years ago, has been cited recently by the NAACP for its efforts
to promote diversity. The chain has worked closely with civil rights groups
in an effort to rebuild its image, Robertson said.
The restaurant chain was targeted as a class-action defendant and was charged
by the Justice Department with forcing Black customers to pay for meals in
advance, denying service and refusing to honor its free birthday meals.
Denny's denied discrimination, but agreed in 1994 to pay more than $46
million to settle the lawsuits. Since then, it has contributed more than $1.5
million to 10 civil rights organizations.
