"BLACK PEOPLE BE AWARE!So, here 's my experience. Not having many days off, me and a friend started our day early and planned to enjoy an early lunch at this restaurant. After shopping in the phenomenal Hillcrest area, we arrive at Aladin at 1100 am pst. We arrive a little early because this restaurant opened at 1130. So we visited Trader Joes. At 1135, we returned, and a staff member, Lopita, promptly seated us because we were the only customers. Lopita began sweeping the outside seating area. After 15 minutes past, my friend and I looked around for a waitress . Behind the glass, Jordan, the waitress looked at us never greeted us or came to take our order. During this time, a white female came into the restaurant, and then Jordan came from behind th glass to greet this customer. I watched and listened to their conversation. The white female said, Seatinfg for one. I need to use the restroom, I 'll be right back. The customer swiftly went through the door to the back area restroom. Jordan turned around a proceeded to get a bottle of water and a glass. Thinking it was for our table , it was not. Instead , Jordan walked over to give the water and glass to the white woman. I immediately addressed this blatant activity and told her that the customer should not receive the water or anything else for that matter before our table. Jordan finally approached our table, and I asked her, Why did you not come to give our table a greeting, water, or take our order. Jordan replied, because she told me what she wanted. I told her to stop with that matter of bull. She then admitted she understood my comment and she gets it. I can take your order and did you want water? I said no, and we left feeling offended and frustrated. This was tangible evidence of her bias/racist ways. CAMIELLE DO BETTER WHEN YOU HIRE YOUR STAFF BLACK PEOPLE THIS IS A SMALL VERSION OF MY TRUE EXPERIENCE...GO ELSE WHERE!"
