"That Black Girl."
A phrase that was repeated to me a multitude of times, a phrase used by the owner of Chicken Salad Chick to reduce my intellect and character.
The owner of Chicken Salad Chick has proven to be racist numerous times. She accused me, a woman of color, of stealing from her and the restaurant, accusing me to bringing in my own cup to grab drinks. However, she personally targeted me. She had no problem with my white coworkers, who do the same thing. She followed me into my place of work, made this accusation, and demanded I pay her the 70 cents I owed for my water.

Read moreI actually love this place, but I gave it 4 stars because I have sensitive teeth and prefer room temperature chicken salad. I understand the health concern and why it's served cold but other than that I can't come up with anything negative. Every visit the food is good, the service is fast & friendly, and the prices aren't ridiculous. Wish they were closer towards Greenbrier but when I get to that side of town...
