At a local restaurant, Anita's New Mexico Style Cafe in Virginia, USA
. A black waitress who instead of getting a tip, got a racist comment which
read "great service, don't tip black people" from a young white
couple in their mid 20's.
Kelly Carter told NBC
news she was shocked when she saw the message and that it would be the first
time in all the time she has worked as a waitress she would receive such
a racist comment.
'It was just
total shock, that's all that I can say, I looked at the receipt three times
because I was so shocked, never ever being a server have I seen that.' she
said.
Speaking on the issue, the Manger of the restaurant, Mr Tom Tellez, said
it was disheartening and wouldn't be tolerated. '
Hatred will not be
tolerated and we will not keep quiet. This has been confirmed and did happen
per Mgr @ Anita's in Ashburn, 'It's appalling, disheartening, outrageous - all
of the above.'
Furthermore, he revealed
that since the incident, people have been dropping by the restaurant to
give Ms Carter, cash gifts while some drop by to give her a warm hug. He also
revealed that a fund raiser was started in her name and has raised over $300
