Chicken Salad Chick — Restaurant in Conway

"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.

However, when I went back into the store, she was talking to her fellow employees.

"I just...I can't believe that black girl thought it was okay to steal from us..."

Astonished, I tried to contact corporate, hoping that some sort of repercussion would happen. However, she simply got a slap on the wrist, corporate saying that seems completely out of her character.

She has employees leaving complaints such as, '"I feel bad for any black person that works for her, as she does not care." Employees explaining the fact that she is in fear of, "educated black people." Her constantly turning a blind eye to all the racism happening within her own store...

I'm not sure what to do. I don't want this to be another story, another encounter where systemic racism, wins again. I plan on contacting as many higher ups as I can, but until then, NO CHICKEN...

This is delicious chicken salad. Very tasty and the choices for a side are quite nice. I get the extra scoop of chicken salad. They serve it with a pickle and crackers. Yummy. Also this is a very side,side note but their to go cups are quite nice. An odd mention but they are sturdy and keep your drink cool. I highly recomend! I've not tried the soup yet but I'm sure it's fabulous uts just been too hot for me to have soup. This is a lovely...

I 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...
