This actually happened to my co-worker at the service desk, not me. A guy came up to the service desk and apparently wanted to get his money back on an item his wife purchased just the previous day with a check. My co-worker explained that they were still waiting for the check to clear. He then yelled at her and called her a racist, saying they only hold black people's checks, etc. After a lot of profanity-laced screaming, he headed out (still shouting).

Darn!
I KNEW I should have had "Not a Black Person's Check" printed under my phone number. You know, so it would clear faster. Seriously - does this SC think the bank stops processing the store's deposits and asks around until they determine the race of the account holder on a check? For ALL the checks?
I realize the race card is occasionally justified, and occasionally murky, but on this one if I were Despina's CW, I would have had to laugh out loud.

We overbooked at the Old Hotel a while back and this guy was the last to check in, so he was the last person we walked. Once he comes in, he goes "It's because I'm black, isn't it?"
I was all
So I asked him how I could get the colour of a person's skin from their name. Nevermind the fact he had a very common name (...his name was brown. ) so he went to another hotel (paid by us, of course) in a huff.Ridiculous 2009 Predictions: Evil Queen will beat Martha Stewart to death with a muffin pan.
