Location: West Monroe, LA
As many of you know, I am a linguistic consultant acting as an advocate for those who need a voice. Today, I am acting on behalf of a client who has requested anonymity.
On a recent visit to the Zaxby’s location in West Monroe, Louisiana, my client, a Hispanic male, was asked for his name when placing an order. The receipt printed the name “ICE.”
This name was not provided by the customer.
In the current social and political climate, assigning this label to a Hispanic customer raises serious concerns regarding discriminatory conduct, workplace culture, and customer safety.
This post serves several purposes:
– To publicly document the incident
– To preserve community awareness
– To notify relevant parties that this matter is being taken seriously and reviewed
This is not an allegation of intent against a specific employee at this time. It is a factual account of what occurred and the impact such conduct has on individuals and the community.
Businesses serving the public have an obligation to ensure customers are treated with dignity and without bias. Failure to address incidents like this exposes broader issues that warrant scrutiny.
We are currently in the process of gathering documentation and determining appropriate next steps.
This post is not a call for harassment or retaliation. It is a call for accountability, transparency, and corrective action.
Respect is not optional.
Documentation matters.
Community awareness matters.
