A restaurant server who works in the Los Angeles International Airport was rattled after two customers left him a racist message at the top of their receipt.
“No tip for illegal,” read the handwritten note. “Go back to Mexico.”
Guillermo Ortiz, who works at the Planet Hollywood in the Tom Bradley International Terminal, said it was toward the end of his shift on March 21 when he waited on the couple.
Ortiz told KTLA’s Carlos Saucedo that he thought everything had been going just fine with the two customers until he brought out their check.
“The way they were looking at me, you can tell when something is not right,” said Ortiz.
The couple was already gone when Ortiz saw the note, and since they paid in cash, there was no trail left behind to track them down.
Ortiz said he thinks the current political rhetoric on immigration has emboldened this type of behavior.
“This is happening because of what’s happening with President Trump right now,” said Ortiz. “I think that’s the reason people are acting like this.”
Despite whatever the customers intended by leaving that note, Ortiz said it does not diminish the work he does.

It’s not racist to oppose illegal immigration.
That said, file this under “things that never happened but leftists lie about, Alex”
yeah well, my mom isn’t feeling well
I wonder if it’s another hoax?
Correct. This unbearably horrific slight actually made the news? Not without help, it didn’t.
If this did happen, the customer should be angry at the employer who is employing someone illegally.
If companies at LAX are employing people illegally they should lose the contracts at LAX and have their business assets seized using RICO statutes.

If his employer paid him a decent wage, he wouldn’t need tips.
Unanswered questions.
Is he an illegal?
How would the couple have known that he is?
If they just assumed that he is illegal they are rather stupid.
... And I’m sure this upsets KTLA more than people causing thousands of dollars of damage to Teslas.
While you are correct, leftists sincerely believe than any opposition to their agenda is exclusively due to one or more of the following : racism, sexism, selfishness, greed, and ignorance.
As with the party members in "Nineteen Eighty Four", leftists have been socially engineered to feel instead of think.
“The way they were looking at me”
The last paragraph says that that Planet Hollywood location is closing in a week.
Sounds like the waiter was doing some “self-promotion” to get a new, better, waiter job.
I wonder if he complains when the blacks (notoriously poor tipers) stiff him on his tip?
Yep- where is the proof. There are cameras everywhere at the airport.
Sounds like a LIE. This needs to be investigated - to clear the couple who were the supposed customers as if they paid cash, Pedro could have pocketed the cash, + tip, written the fake racist note and this couple is now being falsely accused of a hate crime.
Of course you are correct.
I make it a point in neither adopting underlying leftists’ fallacies (eg, everything is racist), nor using their co-opted words.
For example, leftists are neither progressive, nor liberal. They are regressive authoritarian socialists.
A customer has every right to be a racist.
Of course it is fake.
There’s one of these fake “tip message” stories every six months.
Or his boyfriend is a producer at the tv station and he cooked up some BS and they decided to run it.
“That said, file this under “things that never happened but leftists lie about, Alex””
Even if true, no one needs to tip FOR ANY REASON.
