NAPERVILLE, Ill. — The families involved in a racist incident at the Buffalo Wild Wings in Naperville called on the company Tuesday to establish “zero tolerance†hiring practices that will ensure no other customer experiences a similar situation.
Justin Vahl, of Montgomery, and Marcus Riley, of Joliet, recounted their story Tuesday during a news conference at St. John African Methodist Episcopal Church in Aurora and said they are urging the owners of the sports bar/casual dining restaurant chain to implement racial screening as part of the interview process before hiring employees.
The two men were joined by attorney Cannon Lambert, their sons and some of the people who were present during the Oct. 26 incident at the Buffalo Wild Wings on 75th Street, near Route 59. At the center of the controversy are two restaurant employees who asked the men’s party of 18 to move to new tables because a restaurant patron did not want to be seated near black people.
