A Deplorable waiter refused to serve 4 Latina women until he saw proof of residency

Last edited Sun Mar 19, 2017, 09:18 AM - Edit history (3)





It was girls’ day out, and Diana Carrillo had abandoned her desire to eat healthy well before she, her sister and two friends got to the Southern California restaurant. The destination: Saint Marc, an upscale spot in the seaside city of Huntington Beach, where Carrillo had been once before.

As the waiter walked up to the table, Carrillo figured she’d splurge on the grilled-cheese sandwich and pay the $2 up-charge to add some of the restaurant’s signature bacon. To start, maybe she’d share a watermelon and cheese plate with her sister and friends.

But the mood soured quickly after the waiter appeared. Before he could serve the four Latina women, he said, they needed to show proof of residency. “I need to make sure you’re from here,” he said.


...


Kent Bearden, the senior director of operations at Saint Marc, told The Washington Post that the waiter who had asked for the women’s IDs had been fired. It was the first time the employee had done anything like this, Bearden said, and he “had never received so much as a write-up” before.

“I don’t know if he had an agenda or not,” said Bearden. “My concern is he violated a company policy. We’re very specific about how we treat out guests. That individual did not treat a table of guests to the expectations that we set forth in that company policy, and that caused him to be terminated.”

So thank you again!

Seeing the social media backlash, the restaurant’s management contacted Carrillo that Monday. They offered a VIP experience at the restaurant and pledged to donate 10 percent of the weekend’s proceeds to a nonprofit organization of the group’s choice. The four women declined the lavish meal, but asked that the restaurant donate the money to Orange County Immigrant Youth United.

Finally!

He's either a world-class asshole or an alt-right idiot. Or maybe both. Either way, he is a raging, major liability issue for his employer.

The manager should have listened to the women's issue(s) and dealt with them immediately.
1) Fire the waiter right then and there.
2) Apologize profusely to the women, inform them that the offending individual is no longer with the restaurant. Comp the meal, and two additional meals.

The "women" stood there ground and complained Nationalists and are just deplorable.
I hope Saint Marc's has a diversity training paperwork that "everyone " has to sign before being employed, to protect itself from a lawsuit.

And as for the sexual predator.

I wish the media would treat him as such, instead of still trying to normalize him today.
What's really disgusting is him wearing the blue jacket with the seal of the president on the front, and then him swearing to defend and uphold the Constitution, he should be in a orange jump suit, black and white jumpsuit with flip flops, whatever color they have, charged with Treason, and then have him leading the "gang" as they walk into court handcuffed and chained together, that's what I want.

He is not my president, he is a racists, fascist, bigot, .................I just can't say anymore
