Two black diners at Alero Restaurant were asked to give up their IDs until their bill was paid in full. The white diner next to them wasn't. After a viral social media post, the restaurant changed its policy.

Dine & dash customers cost DC restaurant workers tips & restaurants massively.
Does DC keep any stats on such crimes? Archive of security footage of offenders?
Perception of prejudice harms DC restaurant workers & restaurants massively too, so any policy needs to be data driven

First mistake was staying. Second mistake was failing to re-engage the manager after he ignored them, essentially. But this sounds like she intended to make an example out of Alero since she is the president of noma/Hst civic assoc 🤔
