Hey! You assumed the demographic, I didn't put it on you. (we're all adults here, we know what is being said) Yes you do get service based on the perceived odds of a return. I am talking white, Spanish and black waitresses/Servers alike. They all know what tables will pay out and what tables won't, at least they think they do.
Look, don't kill the messenger. I just report what lifelong restaurateurs tell me. I am certain that cabbies have assumed the same presumptions. It's pretty bad that in the 21st century Kutnupe14 has to be profiled but hell "Ain't that America". If it's any consolation you should see me trying to get service at 38th street McDonalds. life's tough all over!
How triffling it is that a NYC taxi passes them up and it makes national news.
It happens everyday and it doesn't make national news.. I've had it happen to me and it didn't offend me..
Al needs to get over himself. Someone should tell Al ' welcome to the big city '
He's part of big media, of course he will get attention.

So you're suggesting crappy service at McDonald's is based on race?Hey! You assumed the demographic, I didn't put it on you.

I'm not blaming you, not a bit. Honestly who doesn't know that black people have a rep for not tipping? Anyone? I've been told as much many times. No need to neuter your talk bro, we're all adults here, and I have thick skin.
My white nieces and nephews received poor service while my wife and kids and I who sat at the next table received good service.
So you're suggesting crappy service at McDonald's is based on race?
This is exactly correct. Young people won't tip as well and don't even have the means to tip like older more established people do. It's not racial demographics but financial demographics. It could be black people just the same as young people. neither are as likely to pay out for service. Not skin or age but who traditionally is loose with money.
And those of us in that demographic often receive comparable service based on that assumption. It occurs, at least for me, so often, that I don't eat at middling restaurants. And when I tip it's always in the 25-30% range.

I have not been picked up in bars by smoking hot chicks of all races. To whom do I complain?
He stated demographicS, plural. There are quite a few that have a rep for not tipping, tipping poorly. Young, old, blacks, single mom with multiple kids...
Which have you heard MOST often? "Old people don't tip?" "Single mothers don't tip?" C'mon Timj, we all know.
I hope this is true.....
I mean.... I don't hope this is true....
BUT I hope Big Al is not pulling a brian williams/hillary clinton and inserting himself to be part of the story.
