“If tables had been turned and I used something as insensitive like that… I would be boycotted, people wouldn’t buy my albums,” he said, teary eyed.
Bice’s testimony finally got up the corporate ladder via the news report and the company that owns the airport Popeyes’ released a statement:
“Mack II Inc. is very sorry that the incident occurred and for any pain or embarrassment that Mr. Bice experienced. The company does not condone the behavior of one of our associates and we took corrective action as soon as we were made aware of the incident. Also, we will require re-training of our associates to ensure this isolated incident does not occur again. In addition, Mr. Bice has been issued an apology by the General Manager. We value all of our customers regardless of race, religion, age, disability, gender, etc.”
Bice and his broken heart got his apology. The employee who called Bice “that White boy” has reportedly be disciplined and suspended.
Good thing he didn’t call Bice a racist, all hell might have broken loose.
