Eating at Myrtle Beach Restaurant ended with an unscrupulous note about a pastor in Maryland and his wife after the owner responded to the couple’s complaints about racist remarks.
Morris McCoy shared during a live stream on Facebook on July 9th details of the incident that took place on Salt & Honey Grill, located on the 2800 North Kings highway.
Initially, he was excited to have dinner at Tiktok’s feeling, he said in a live stream, but when his wife wanted adjustments made on a dish, they were greeted instead of racist remarks by the owner.
The restaurant shared on July 10 a statement on Facebook, claiming that this was not so that the events had happened.
McKoy’s living flow became viral, sharing in accounts and social platforms and gathering hundreds of thousands of views. Others began to post their publications online, put their indignation and support behind McCoy.
While some commentators of the incident are expressing their full support for McKoy and their intentions to boycott the business, others say they are skeptical and believe that there is more than history.
Neither McKoy nor Salt & Honey Grill responded to requests for comment on Sunday morning.
How started
“My wife sent me back the steak because she wasn’t prepared,” McCoy explained in her live stream.
But after the steak was returned, McCoy said she was returned to their table once more without changing and was told “so it should be.”
To this, McCoy claims that nutrition should be prepared the way the client asks.
“But it wasn’t a top, guys,” McCoy continued. He said the owner then came to the table, saying that it was Googled what a medium steak should look like and their steak looked right.
When this answer did not satisfy the customers, McCoy said that the owner had presented a more extreme reaction.
“He told my wife and I were not welcome to his establishment and that I could leave and I was banned from his restaurant,” McCoy said in the live stream. He continued to say that the owner claimed that “blacks play with their money too much.”
According to McCoy, the owner of the restaurant would not share his name during the incident. The restaurant is owned by Donald Aslanai and his family, known for Donald Panchaninka on the Highway 2600 N. Kings, The Sun News reported earlier.
The restaurant is in charge
In his reply, the restaurant claims that McCoy and his wife have asked for several items to be processed and that the chef and server of the restaurant, “They both appreciate the members of the black team, did their best to comply with these requests.”
The statement continues to claim that the restaurant proposed to cover the couple’s entire bill, “when it became clear that we cannot meet their expectations,” and then informs the couple that the restaurant will no longer be able to serve them.
“There were no comments about a race or any group of people,” the message said. “Our sole purpose was to protect and maintain a healthy work environment for our staff and a peaceful dining experience for our customers.”
The answers to the restaurant’s publication range from loyal customers who remember a favorable experience with the establishment and its owners, to those who share their intentions not to have dinner at the restaurant from support for McCoy and his wife.
The couple or restaurant do not take further action on the subject.
