Here is a recap of this week's episode of "What Would You Do?" with ABC's John Quiñones:

What Would You Do: Prepay

What would you do if you were at a restaurant where you saw a group of black teens being asked to “prepay” for their meal? When they question their waitress who asked them to prepay, she tells them that they have experienced problems in the past with people “like them” skipping out on the bill. Watch what happens:

A white waitress tells young black customers that they have to prepay for their meals up front. She says this is the new policy, since she's had problems with people "like them." What will diners say?

A lesbian couple enters a bakery with hopes of buying a cake for their wedding. The baker, however, says gay marriage conflicts with his beliefs. Who will customers side with in these divided times?

What Would You Do: Poor Kid

What would you do if you saw young boys picking on another boy for being poor in a clothing store? The child is clearly dressed in “old-looking” clothes and shoes. They make fun of his hand-me-downs and shame him because he can’t afford many items in the store. Would you step in? Watch what happens:

Teen boys are shopping at a clothing store. When it comes out that one boy doesn't have money to buy new clothes, his peers make fun of him for being poor. Will anyone come to his aid?
