A Haitian-born food server at The Ritz-Carlton is suing the hotel chain and the Naples managing director, alleging they discriminated against him.
Wadner Tranchant, a food server and restaurant captain at the hotel, filed a federal lawsuit this week, claiming his bosses discriminated when they told employees that a visiting family didn’t want to be served by “people of color” or with “foreign accents.”
The Rodney Morgan family checked into the hotel Feb. 28 and a note in the hotel’s computers, directed by vice president and hotel manager Edward Staros, states, “as per Mr. Staros, this couple is very very prejudice [sic] and do like like [sic] ppl of color or foreign accents,” according to the lawsuit.
On March 12, Tranchant, who is a U.S. citizen, was prevented from his immediate supervisors from serving the Morgans in the Grill Restaurant
