Discrimination
On august 16th, 2016, Karina served costumers who left a xenophobic and blatantly racist comment on the receipt that said: "We only tip citizens."
[-1]Karina is a citizen of the United States of America and her grandfather, John Elledge, who is a lawyer, erupted by posting a picture of the receipt on his Facebook with the writing, "You are a complete and total piece of dung". He also wrote:
"I’d happily do the jail time if I could get just one solid punch in to the face of the son of a bitch who paid for his meal at the luncheonette where my granddaughter works and left the receipt for her with a note saying, “Sorry, we only tip citizens".
After the Facebook post was published, the woman who paid for the meal appeared and it was discovered that she's actually a friend of Karina's mother.
The woman admitted that it was her companion at the time who wrote the note.
Karina admitted that the people who wrote the message and whom she served refused to talk to her.
Karina says that she would serve the people again because she is not a bad person and that it would make her a stronger individual to let the racism bother her.
