Bedford Cafe

The attitudes of the staff( day and night) is disgusting. You have to deal with Tony nasty attitude at night and then you have Sergio and the other short Mexican guy with attitudes in the day time. What I noticed is that, those nasty disrespectful staff are only behaving that way towards people of color(blacks). Their attitudes are very unwelcoming, they act like you are bothering them, they act like their annoyed that you came into the restaurant, they act like they don’t see you standing there waiting to order, they talk in their language(Spanish) not knowing that you understand all the racist comments their making about you. I was the next one to order, the little short Mexican guy see me in the front of the line, he asks “whose next” while looking over my shoulder. The cook in back is being warned so he’s looking directly at you while he in a closed off space in the back, making your food so now you don’t know if their spitting in the food or putting something in it. I stopped calling because they memorized my number so I noticed that they wouldn’t pick up the phone for me and when they chose to answer, they would put me on hold for 20 mins or more. One time I waited outside and I called just to see if they were really busy and guess what..they were not. If you go to sit down in the back, they will act like they don’t see you sitting there. I’ve spoken to the son of the owner( Mike) on several occasions and I wonder if he ever spoke to any of them or is he just pretending to be paying attention because nothing has changed. Every time I go there, a black persons is upset and complaining about how they were treated. I shouldn’t feel like I can’t go into a restaurant that’s in my community where I live and have been living for years. This is 2019, not 1920s, if they are racist and don’t want black people in the restaurant then go somewhere else or post a sign stating “ no colored allowed”. They will come across the wrong person one day. People deserve respect! The saddest part of it all is that their black too, just conquered by different people. Signs of racism st Bedford Park Diner and the food is excessively expensive for a community of the low to middle class. I now go to Kingsbridge Cafe next to the supermarket and across from the animal hospital, it’s cheaper but they also have a few nasty people in there too( Mexicans). Guess they have a problem with people of color. Be mad at trump, not us🙄. People need to stand up and speak up, this has to stop. I will report to 311 and use every resource I can to bring attention to this Diner since they think their untouchable and they can treat people any type of way. If I send an undercover agent in there, Bedford park will be shut down and several law suites. Racism and Discrimination at its highest coming from the staff. Horrible!
