    What kind of dumbass goes to a Mexican restaurant while fantasizing about deporting the people working there? Like if you’re going to be a racist cunt then be a racist cunt, you can’t have your quesadilla and eat it too.

      Unfortunately, it seems like there are millions of people like this (judging from polls). Ever since social media found out that any engagement = $$$ and outrage drives more engagement than anything positive, this kind of behaviour gets rewarded and magnified - with the occasional blowout like this article.

    Good job censoring it. Stephanie can rest easy.

    Edit: Nevermind she was fired from her job.

    I give it an 80% chance that Ricardo the server will not see a single cent of that GoFundMe supposedly set up in his name lol

      I don’t know why American do it each time there is something like this. I may understand doing for huge medical bills but here it is just some one who didn’t get a tip. It is sad but I don’t think there is a need for a GoFundMe.

        Tips in food service are often their own pyramid scheme. The server who is expecting a tip will owe money to cleaning staff (bussing the tables), or other back-end staff. So getting no tip often means they are paying their own money to that staff. It’s an awful, ridiculous system completely in line with capitalism.

          Utterly false. Some places give a percentage of tips to the back-of-the-house. LOL, the state labor board would burn your restaurant down if you tried making staff pay other staff out of pocket.
