This is so bassackwards that it smells of leftist stunt, even though the guy was supposedly fired. Residency of customers hasn’t got anything to do with anything, they could be tourists.
Maybe the waiter was making a “statement”.
This is not the traditional definition of “dumb waiter” but it fits.
Probably a fake story.
If not, the waiter should be fired for harassing customers. Then deport him! Haha
the restaurant offered to host Brenda Carrillo and her friends as “VIP guests” this weekend and to donate 10% of the weekend’s sales to a nonprofit of their choice.
The friends declined, but asked that the restaurant donate the share of proceeds to the Orange County Immigrant Youth United, a Santa Ana-based organization that advocates for immigrants living in the country illegally.
Bearden says the restaurant will honor the women’s request
But Brenda and Diana Carrillo say they’re disappointed that the restaurant scrubbed the apologies from their social media accounts.
“To us, that makes us feel like they weren’t really sorry,” Brenda said

Why would a waiter ask this? This is not believable.
I highly doubt a waiter asked this.
Why? Why would anyone possibly ask a customer this?
Makes no sense.
for services render - needs to be either legal tender or credit card - nothing else matters
Sounds like a hoax, perhaps to get money for their illegal-migrant advocacy group.
I wonder if the waiter meant staying at the hotel. Some restaurants in hotels are (or used to be) only open to people staying there
Were they paying the bill with a check or credit card?
This sounds like he wanted to have their addresses for dating purposes. I would have to see a picture of the two ladies to better construct the theory.
There may have been a promotion for locals via Groupon or their regular policy.
They have on their Facebook a promotion of a $50 gift certificate to the 1st 100 people who sign up at their youtube channel.
Left out of the story is the race of the waiter, much less an interview .
But, they don’t have waiters apparently.
You order from an iPad and a runner brings you your request.
The article indicates they were asked if they were locals, not if they were Americans or legal residents.
There is no reason to request I.D. except there being a promotions for locals.
Weird story a day I can’t imagine asking for I.D. for even a Russian or Chinese National. You’d just give your best service and work for that tip.
If the story is as purported then the waiter is a dick and should have been fired.
I believe it’s a semantics thing. Kinda like “wire tapping. “”
Maybe Barack ate there on his way to Tahiti.
Fired? That person should get a bonus.
I am in disbelief that this woman felt the need to actually go the media with this. Really? You feel you’ve been insulted about something, so you run and tell it to the press??!? How big a baby is this woman?
Yes, it’s probably a stunt.
I just cannot imagine a waiter asking a question like that. More leftist propaganda!
He was just looking for a date.
Do out of state residents get a sales tax exemption on purchases?
Washington State allows a sales tax exemption for Oregon residents, but they are required to show their ID to verify.
Disneyland has Local Offers that discount Annual Passes and Three Day Park Passes.
You have to show ID proving you live in certain Zip Codes to get the offer.
