This happened to me (white) twice within the past week.

In the first case, a local tavern in the 'burbs seemed overwhelmed and understaffed. My partner and I just left our table and went to a nearby, nearly identical place and had great service.

The second time was with a friend at a busy watering hole in the Fan. After a good long while, I politely let the hostess know we were still waiting for a server. We were taken care of promptly with lots of apologies that the servers made an error about who had the table and we had good service.

I didn't make any assumptions about it being due to any of my individual characteristics. I know racism exists and hope that wasn't what happened to the guy referenced by OP.

Nah. I'm sure there are many, though. This is a place that usually has decent service, so I didn't want to call them out. My impression of the place is that when they are fully staffed and it isn't too busy they do great, but management has a tough time keeping things moving and the servers focused when things get busy.

I will give a shout out to the place we ended up at, Industrial Taphouse (Hanover/Atlee/Ashland). Excellent burger, cold beer, and really solid service.
