MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. — A waitress in Maryland Heights, Missouri, is out of a job after she reportedly labeled two of her customers as "black couple" on a restaurant receipt. According to KTVI, Kimberli Wilson and a companion were at Patrick's Westport Grill on July 18 when she saw the words at the top of the bill. ADVERTISING

"I was frustrated," Wilson told KTVI. "I was angry. I was thinking, 'Really? Are we still doing this in 2015?'"

These sorts of events often turn out to be hoaxes. I will wait for more facts before going into liberal outrage meltdown mode over this alleged injustice.

Every restaurant I have ever worked at always had a numbering system for the tables. Maybe she was just bad at math?

So she was descriptive:

Black Couple
Fat guy
Bleached Blonde
Tooth Braces

I still don’t know what the issue is, so she wrote black couple. It’s a descriptive term, not a slur or an insult, it was just to help her remember whose check belongs to which table.

She could have just as easily wrote “bald guy” or “blonde couple” or whatever. It’s absurd that people are offended.

[Hanon also met with Wilson and her companion to apologize and offer them unlimited meals.]

I wonder if goat head and okra is on the menu?

let this be a lesson to all wait staff.

next time, just label them ‘uppity a-holes’ and have no fear of being labeled a racist

Would they be happier if she had labelled them "negros"? She was only doing what she needed to remember them.

Perhaps if she had written down "obnoxious couple with rude manners" it would have been fine?

If we were as racist and stuck in a Jim Crow mindset as liberals say, we wouldn’t have people trying to “transition” to black. People don’t walk around Iran wearing an “I’m a gay Jew” t-shirt.

This is like those college campuses who banned campus police from calling a black suspect on the loose black.

Everyone who has ever been a waiter/waitress knows to refer to them as “Canadians.”

Right. There are campuses where armed robberies occur and the warning that goes out to students and it won’t mention race. That ‘might be offensive.’

No, getting murdered because you PC morons didn’t tell me what the truth was is offensive...

Is writing a check to the “United Negro College Fund” racist?

Seriously I didn’t know ‘black’ was now offensive.

I believe it is called the “United Teen College Fund”, now.

I love the way the business bent over and dropped their drawers. Very GOPe-like...
