We didn't really need another reason to avoid Bowlmor Lanes, the expensive, cheeseball and virulently bridge-and-tunnel-crowded bowling alley on University Place ... but now we have one. According to a recently filed lawsuit by five former employees, Bowlmor is practicing racial and cultural discrimination in its reservation system and dress code. After some alleged bad experiences involves minority groups in its in-house restaurant, owner Tom Shannon apparently wanted employees to look up customers on Facebook and check for the appropriate lifestyle (read: skin color) before confirming reservations.

Attempting to attract excited young people who spend money, yet somehow not realizing youngin's now hang out with people of all races, creeds and taste in jeans.
One Gothamist commenter wondered that, based on the fact that a bowling alley can apparently have a dress code, there wasn't also some gas station dress code she should be aware of. That's the spirit.
