Police are asking for help to identify the person or people who posted a sign in a fast-food drive-through saying the business "will reserve the right to refuse service to white people."
The sign was posted at the Popeyes located at 6475 Ronald Reagan Drive in Lake Saint Louis. The Lake Saint Louis Police Department says several drive-through menus have also been vandalized with spray paint earlier this month.
A photo of the sign quickly spread through social media and on Wednesday the restaurant closed, but people were reportedly still going through the line to see the viral sign.

Popeye's needed a sign? I knew the first time I walked in one that we were not welcome!

I wouldn’t patronize any establishment run by bLACKS anyway. I prefer my food without spittle.

Great business plan; refuse to do business with 75 percent of the population. Brilliant. Then, watch it lose money because of employees stealing inventory. Then, watch it get burned down in the next series of riots. Then, in a few years watch the so-called community organizers complain that the area is a ''food desert'' because no businesses will locate there. Lather, rinse, repeat.

In the article is says that the business owners had no idea that the sign had been posted, and that it was probably done by the same idiots who have been vandalizing their menu board.

Love Popeye's but wont go anywhere I'm not wanted. Besides, I've found myself in St Louis several times and been looked at like a lion looks at a wounded gazelle. I dont stop in St Louis anymore for anything. I put the gun on the seat, hit the bypass and go as fast as I can toward civilized territory.

Popeye's be a black person's place. Funny. The only Popeye I knew was the cartoon Popeye the sailor man, and he was white.

Same thought as #1. Clearly Popeye's customer base is 90% or more black folks, I ate there once, wasn't impressed with the food, uncomfortable at no other whites in the place.
Reminds me of my first visit to a local barbeque restaurant, known to be run by a black man, and which had been said to have good food. I walked in and there were three black teens waiting by the door who shouted something at me in very loud 'ghetto talk'....I couldn't tell what they had said, absolutely no clue, and it sounded.....aggressive. I was confused at being shouted at, and very nearly turned around and left, and literally looked around and behind me to see who these strangers were yelling at. I was alone in the entry.
I got in line to order. A couple of uncomfortable minutes later, someone entered and got the same shouting. By the third time, I was starting to figure out that this was apparently intended to be some a greeting and apparently the black teens had made it into a contest to outshout each other in "greeting" customers. After hearing their shouts about 6 times, I finally figured out that "welcome" was in there somewhere. The food was OK at best, fatty bbq isn't what I want, and I have never returned.

Reverse the preferred and the prohibited races and Popeye's would be a smoking hulk within 24 hours.

Popeye's had a chicken sandwich they were heavily advertising. Got one to see if it was that great. Had so much salt I think the chicken drowned in the Great Salt Lake. My BP probably went into the atmosphere. Most supermarkets do a reasonably good job with chicken. Stick with them.
