A California waiter refused to serve 4 Latina customers until he saw ‘proof of residency’
One can only wonder what kind of climate is being created under the auspices of increased immigration enforcement by the Trump administration. Did you hear the one about the four Latinas in a upscale beach city restaurant in California? Well, “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. . . . . ” Flummoxed, the four women handed over their IDs. But as what was happening sank in, they fumed.
Strange but true as reported by the Washington Post. The incident apparently has produced a Facebook firestorm.
