They're Lucky They Only Didn't Get Service
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.
