Does Annabelle's Bistro SF Want Black Patrons?

Does Annabelle's Bistro SF Want Black Patrons? - Video

Does Annabelle's Bistro SF Want Black Patrons? So I walk into this French Bistro called Annabelle's and to have a cranberry juice and recharge my phone. The one bartender was great. And at the time I was more into just having juice and recharging. But as time passed I noticed this waitress walking by and by and saying nothing. So I asked her what was wrong and I asked her if she had a bad day. She said yes but never once asked me if I wanted anything. Not even a refill of my drink. And as I sit here and type this walks by again. And again. Nothing. I am the only black patron here. Annabelle's needs to fire it's waitresses. Stay tuned.

If you don't know who Michael Davis is then you don't know Comic Con San Diego. He is famous for The Black Panel, a 16 year old gathering of blacks who are involved in SCI fi and the popular arts. But in reality it's more a diverse meet up. And it's the most fun you are going to have at Comic Con. Period. It's a reflection of Mr Davis.
