From the San Fran Chronicle:
A Houston restaurant is receiving widespread praise after its staff refused
to serve a group that had some unkind things to say about a special needs
child.
Mom Kim Castillo wrote on her Facebook page about the experience and shared
it with 29-95.com on Thursday.
Castillo said she was dining at a restaurant called Laurenzo’s with her
family, including her son Milo, who has Down syndrome. A family of four came in
and asked to be moved from the booth next to Castillo, then left the restaurant
shortly thereafter.
“As it turns out they told the waiter, ‘special needs kids should be kept in
special places,’” Castillo said. “The waiter promptly told them he was offended
by their comment and refused to serve them.”
Facebook users have joined Castillo in complimenting the
restaurant for sticking up for Milo.
“Your people rock!” Marco A Martinez said.
“Thank you from an Ohio mom of a little boy with Down syndrome,” Kathy Thut
said. “I’ve never been to Texas, but if I ever get there, you’ll be getting our
business
”
When the story started to receive national attention, Castillo contacted 29-95.com to add a few more words. http://blog.sfgate.com/hottopics/2013/01/18/waiter-sticks-up-for-special-needs-child-by-refusing-service/
I'm glad those people left so they wouldn't have to be burdened to be sitting so close to a small kid with Down Syndrome. After all, they just may catch the disease, if they got to close the kid and that disease would be class and having manners.
