"Racist and Abelist manager Sylvester. My friends and I go to the ealing Wetherspoons quite often and have never had a bad interaction, however last night we had our first encounter with the manager of this chain. My friend South African Woman ordered her drink and then got asked to show ID, she proceeded to show her valid Citizenship card which proved her age 18, 19 this December and they did not approve it. She then explained how she has a chronic illness and cannot apply for drivers license since her CFS prevents her from applying for a provisional. The employee explained how they do not accept this as it is identical to a “university student card” which is not a valid form of ID despite a legal requirement of going to university is being 18. After snatching her drink away and not listening to my friend explaining how she is disabled the manager then got involved. This is where the racism and ableism began, Sylvester then proceeded to point to my friends curly hair and whisper so the body cam would not pick up “ people like you shouldn’t be here.” Our friend came back to the table in shock, couldn’t belive the thing she just got told. Our waitress came over with the manager, she was a young woman with mouse brown hair and she was one of the only workers that showed us any sympathy or remorse, it was evident that the manager takes his anger out on the other employees probably on minimum wage trying to make ends meet because she was very distressed and uncomfortable around him. He then came over to us and I tried to explain to him the severity of this situation, explaining how our friend is disabled and physically cannot have another ID, he could see her crutches and still was so agressive and verbally abusive. He said to our friend “ if you’re disabled you shouldn’t be in places like this” she then broke down in tears and he did not care, then asked ONLY her to leave dispite knowing that 2 of us were under 18 as it was only 6pm and we were still welcome, but had to leave at 9 The police was threatened to be called on us. I have never been more disgusted by anyone, upon further research this is not the only time Sylvester has been complained for ableism and racism. One report that an Asian man was denied a glass of orange juice because he did not have ID. I found this experience so disgusting and my friend is so hurt by this discrimination from Ealing Wetherspoons, going against the Equality Act 2010. This treatment is very ironic since the sign on the door explains how “ not every disability is visible “ yet to discriminate our friend. Disgusting"

"we had a few parties in this restaurant before and therefore have enjoyed each other again and again and decided to have a triple celebration in their banquet hall. from the first day when we met the fronts, we were treated with a male personal alene that could not be less helpful than anything we asked was rejected and would not meet halfway to finish the deal. At any rate we agreed to her accusations and decided to try food for which we had to pay in full amount, not even a small discount, from which we complained about the chicken ktikka, as had a full taste, she did not even offer to replace, but then we asked to make sure that chicken ktikka be chest pieces and was assured at 2 points, but at the day of the celebration they served cheap chicken pieces. on the day everything went into order, apart from huhn tikka starter and not the same experience with food. at the end, when we have the bill we owe a refund of the payment we paid and said it was refunded at the earliest. also the person who was busy with us, said he would grab us the left of the buffet when we filled in a positive feedback, what a deal! then we started to follow the refund as it was not processed as promised. we have always called and were given excuses, will last a week, up to two weeks, has been processed, but not, then the person who processes the refund is on vacation, and finally, when speaking with the refund lady reshmi was said, no worries her get her refund, but we only processed in mass therefore delayed! what a lot of nonsense it took seconds to take money in advance from us, but when it came to our money back so many lie, 2 weeks delay and numerous phone calls with frustration. so much to give recurring business, never again."
