Dairy Queen Closes Illinois Store After Owner Uses Slur
By Associated Press | January 9, 2017 AT 7:14 PM
Dairy Queen has closed one of its stores in Illinois and terminated its relationship with the franchise owner after police say he used racial slurs in an angry confrontation with a customer.
A Zion police report says the franchise owner, Jim Crichton, told a responding officer he called Deianeira Ford, 21, of Tinley Park, Illinois, and her children a racial slur. He also said he was “fed up with black people” and would go to jail over the issue. According to the report, Ford said Crichton called her and her children the slur after she asked for a refund for a mixed-up food order in the drive through.
“It was really just upsetting especially with having my children in the car,” said Ford, the mother of a 2-year-old daughter and 5-month-old son. “I mean, no one deserves to be treated like that.”

Dairy Queen probably had to boot him because they will likely be sued as the article reads; maybe there is some sum that should be awarded for wrongdoing but it shouldn't be a high amount; like so many outrageous lawsuits out there. Nothing higher than $10K, imo.
