    I remember seeing a very similar blurb on Denny's menus in the mid 90s. I wonder why? Oh, that's right: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1993/05/24/secret-service-agents-allege-racial-bias-at-dennys/351daede-84db-4091-97a6-b455f0c79a77/

        I've also been refused service at a Denny's, but in my case it was due to being highly inebriated and vomiting in the potted plants at 3am
