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 shed splurge on the grilled-cheese sandwich and pay the $2 up-charge to add some of the restaurants signature bacon. To start, maybe shed 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 youre 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 womens 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 dont know if he had an agenda or not, said Bearden. My concern is he violated a company policy. Were 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.

"I'm sorry, were you saying something waiter? Would you repeat that for me?"
Make sure it got recorded so we could not just ensure waiter was fired but also humiliated on Youtube.

TL;DR: Patrons don't tip Latina waitress, and writes "We only tip citizens!" on the receipt. Waitress was born in the US and has Honduran heritage.

(22,976 posts)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.

(24,745 posts)then when "he" tries to apply at another position, they will ask why did you leave, his response, I was FIRED for being a racist and fascist to customers, and thought I had to ask for papers, just like the Gestapo, because after all when I fill out an application it says "other nationality he put's down "White Nationalist Party"
Whats this cretin's name ???????

(68,775 posts)The manager tried to make it right as best he could. it hit the papers...to show the effect Orange asshate is having on his supporters. There is a certain amount of jealousy by some white males. when they see successful people of color...and Trump has made it worse.

(24,745 posts)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

(68,775 posts)It is an embarrassment to this country that this terrible piece of excrement was elected. I only hope he and his Dr. No military don't nuke someone and get us all killed. The GOP should impeach him immediately for the good of the country. Of course, the GOP puts party before country every damn time.

I, and I hope 65 millions others are just as mad as I am-----------enough is enough.
I hope that every Democrat calls there senators and tells them the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee and in the senate in the party, that they are going to filibuster this jerk Gorsuch------------enough is enough.
He stole that seat if he gets on, no if's or and's about it, and it should be treated as a total embarrassment to the fascist republicans, to hell with them...

I read another article earlier which said the waiter had been fired. Seems too little, because what he did goes beyond simply being a rude and disruptive waiter. Well beyond.

Of course, if Dolt45 continues to his policies towards people from other countries many places of business in the tourist areas all over the country will be closing.
