    I've just sat and ordered a beer in @BalansLondon after a long day of work (only poc here). She came with the bill then asked me to pay immediately. I asked if they always ask people to pay immediately, and she said (no joke): "No, only when we think someone might run away." Wtf.pic.twitter.com/XfII9d9aQw

        @BalansLondon why are you asking only me to pay immediately, and nobody else? I've waited to see how you served other customers, and I've just seen you serve a (non-poc) person and didn't ask them. Can you explain yourselves?

        Update: @BalansLondon have responded. Note that the owner has said he is "sorry that you feel you were treated differently". Not entirely sure what that means. It sounds like they're sorry that I feel a certain way, but it is not an apology for any wrongdoing on their side.pic.twitter.com/0P4XM0GSmr

        They said the owner would like to talk. I have replied and offered times for a call. I am not sure what to say, but I'll let you know how it goes.

        Update: I had a call with @BalansLondon's owner, David Taylor. He said he was "devastated about this" & that he's "really sorry". When I asked specifically about the incident, he said, "I can't guarantee that everything will happen as it should." Which was inconclusive for me.

        I just want to make sure nobody is discriminated against or treated differently. In response, I said if there's anything that happens, this sort of thing needs to stop. He offered to talk more, and I said I think we both want to make sure something good comes out of this.

        I would like to keep the dialogue open with @BalansLondon, especially to understand further why this happened, and to ensure something practical is done about it. I appreciate that Mr Taylor reached out, and I hope that things can be resolved.

        I'm f'ing pissed off. One thing that's been great about the lockdown is the decreased chance of experiencing racism in real life. Looks like things haven't changed. @BalansLondon best respond. They've asked nobody else to pay immediately. Just me, the only person of colour.

        It's absolute BS. Paying £5+ for a bottle of beer to relax after a long day, just to be profiled as someone who'd run away without paying? Wtaf. It's unacceptable. Now trying to figure out what to do. I'm definitely not going to visit or spend any more money at @BalansLondon.
