What do people leave bad restaurant reviews for? Many reasons may be to blame, some legit, some not so much. But one guy who “really enjoyed the food and service” got upset about something entirely different. It turns out, his waiter’s shirt, which read “hi. don’t be racist. thanks.” was enough to write a negative review for “employee’s ideology plastered on the shirt.”

As one would expect, people on the internet weren’t buying it. After the Chowder House employee named Bryan shared the incident on Twitter, the story blew up with 18.1K retweets and 101.9K likes. Folks “couldn’t even” over the absurd complaint and everyone seemed to show their support to Bryan.

But nobody foresaw what happened next. The restaurant owner added a bunch of items to the basket, and you can guess which one it was.

The restaurant owners responded by adding a bunch of these shirts to their baskets

In the wake of Black Lives Matter, more and more people are stepping in to voice out against racial injustice. And for those who can’t take to the streets, getting a humble graphic shirt is a way of showing your commitment without uttering a single word. The “de facto mobile billboards of our era,” the shirts are a great way to donate to charity and anti-racist organizations. Take a look at the selections picked up by Esquire and High Snobiety.

Another excellent way to support Black Lives Matter and help people of color is to make use of this list of books, movies, documentaries, and podcasts we wrote about earlier. Betsy Faulkner, the woman behind the idea, told that she never expected her poster list to go viral. “While I was aware it would be a useful resource, I assumed it would stay among my friends and followers, but instead, it has reached a much wider audience. Even actress Susan Sarandon!“ Read about her project and tune in for the rest of the interview right here.
