Assignment:

The management of S Hotel in Montego Bay, St. James is rejecting allegations of racism and unfair dismissal may by a former worker.

Matthew Rodney, who was employed as a bartender made the claims in a video recording of the ordeal, which has gone viral on social media platforms.

Rodney alleged that he was dismissed on unfair grounds. Responding, Chris Issa of Crissa Enterprises said Rodney had been with his hotel for four weeks and was on probation when he started fraternizing with the guests. He said during orientation Rodney was trained on the hotel's mantra of 'Short and Sweet', which meant that socializing with guest is not encouraged.

However, it was reported that on the day he was asked to leave the property, he was seen prancing with trays on his head, putting on a show for two female guests, while leaving the bar unattended. "He was trying to impress the two guests and I stood there at the bar watching him," said Issa, who noted that no one else was being served.

S Hotel said it does not tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment against any of its employees or guests.
