On it’s face... It sounds bogus. Probably looking for some sympathy.
Do like George. Always tip with coins and make a production out of it. If you keep with bills make sure they see you or else take the bills back and re-tip.
Well, yanno.....leftists are targeting the end users of Tesla because they don’t like the “owner” of the brand. Seems like turnabout is fair play. Although, most conservatives don’t play like this couple did so I’m assuming it’s another leftist hoax setup to show how “racist” the gop is.
Just how pathetic is this “server”? Most likely the customers (if they even exist...this is likely BS) decided to not tip because it is their option for whatever reason they may have had. This is a free country. Tips are not mandatory. Is the server an illegal alien invader criminal??? Maybe the server does not understand the breadth of freedom in America? In any case, shut up and do your job.
My thoughts too. It’s hard for me to believe this is real.
How many times can they cry wolf? There have been so many similar situations that turned out to be hoaxes. What is so compelling about this particular case, that we’re supposed to be shocked about it?
That is the most likely answer.
Especially considering the last time I was at LAX the tip was AUTOMATIC. 18% added the moment I asked for a water.
Mexican is a race?
If true: unkind and needlessly provocative, but not racist.
I think BP should brand an ‘I’ on their foreheads.
Just because he may have barely spoken English doesn't mean he hasn't been here forever. It did happen in Los Angeles.
Then again, in California you CAN live there as an illegal forever.
Was his immigration status known?
Tell him Americans are TIRED of being ripped off by people who are here illegally
99% chance, yep
Tell the employer that Americans are tired of them employing people illegally and undercutting the wages of legal workers
Many of the commenters 'assume' Ortiz is illegal. Nothing in the article indicates that.
Societies have always reflected some level of tribalism and respective stereotypes. We have 20+ million illegals and most are Hispanic. There are Hispanics like Ortiz who regardless of being American, will be despised simply because they are Hispanic. Broad-brushing and stereotyping people/tribes/cultures is nothing new to humans.
Consider the English/Irish divide over the centuries. Jonathan Swift's, 'A Modest Proposal' satirically offers to the English public a use for the Irish albeit a sick use. Swift was hyperbolizing English bias and bigotry toward the Irish. Here are some excerpts from Jonathan Swift's, 'A Modest Proposal':
A MODEST PROPOSAL
FOR PREVENTING THE CHILDREN OF POOR PEOPLE IN IRELAND FROM BEING A BURDEN TO THEIR PARENTS OR COUNTRY, AND FOR MAKING THEM BENEFICIAL TO THE PUBLIC
It is a melancholy object to those who walk through this great town or travel in the country, when they see the streets, the roads, and cabin doors, crowded with beggars of the female sex, followed by three, four, or six children, all in rags and importuning every passenger for an alms. These mothers, instead of being able to work for their honest livelihood, are forced to employ all their time in strolling to beg sustenance for their helpless infants: who as they grow up either turn thieves for want of work, or leave their dear native country to fight for the Pretender in Spain, or sell themselves to the Barbadoes. I think it is agreed by all parties that this prodigious number of children in the arms, or on the backs, or at the heels of their mothers, and frequently of their fathers, is in the present deplorable state of the kingdom a very great additional grievance; and, therefore, whoever could find out a fair, cheap, and easy method of making these children sound, useful members of the commonwealth, would deserve so well of the public as to have his statue set up for a preserver of the nation. ….
I shall now therefore humbly propose my own thoughts, which I hope will not be liable to the least objection. I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee or a ragout....
This is the new “noose hoax” for Hispanics.
Did they pay for the meal? Yes.
Did they leave without making a scene or damaging property? Yes.
Are you illegal? Yes.
Then get over it. Some customers are cranky. At least they paid, didn’t Dine and Dash.
they paid in cash, there was no trail left behind to track them down.
= = =
Got to ‘track them down’
In the twisted logic of the Left, a criminal is a victim, and anyone who objects to crime is a racist, and a racist (an expletive not connected to the concept of race) is the vilest form of existence damned forever without appeal to the 9th circle of hell.
“Didn’t know that white people don’t have to pay for anything.”
Yeah. If I recall correctly, Eddie Murphy proved that.

Too much effort to leave a note.
Much less effort to just omit the tip.
