Here’s a life lesson: If you’re going to have an issue tipping your servers, it’s probably best you stay at home and stuff your face with some mac and cheese. And if you’re a total racist and idiot, it’s best you stay away from people all together. Unfortunately, the idiots in this story didn’t do any of those things.
Sadie Elledge, an 18-year-old waitress who works at Jess’ Lunch, in Harrisonburg, Virginia, was waiting on a couple who had ordered just two gyros and a salad. And all was fine and non-racist until the $26.11 bill came in and Sadie saw what the couple had left as a tip.
Check out what the tip was thanks to John Elledge’s (Sadie’s grandfather) Facebook:
“We only tip citizens.” Yep. It was also signed “Adam Dart.”
John posted a picture of the receipt on his Facebook where it went viral, causing the restaurant to pull surveillance video from the incident, and according to John the police got involved:
“The way I understand it, the woman who signed the receipt is at the restaurant this very second with the police,” he told Huffington Post. “She’s angry and the police are there. Apparently, she just signed the receipt. She didn’t write the comment.”
And if you’re interested, Sadie is a U.S. Citizen, and her father was born in Honduras, while her mother in Mexico. Sadie also has some words for that couple:
“It doesn’t matter whether I’m Hispanic or American or whatever you want to call it. I’m still a person and you should still treat me with respect.”
