"We only tip citizens"

https://img.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=

&w=1484

A couple dining at Jess' Lunch in Harrisonburg, Virginia, stiffed their waitress, 18-year-old Sadie Elledge, because she is Latina. Elledge, who was born in America and is a citizen, showed the receipt to her grandfather who posted it on Facebook. From there, it went viral.

"I was born here but I'm Mexican and Honduran," Elledge told WHSV, but the cheapskate couple never even spoke with Elledge. "They wouldn't talk to me. They would just nod their heads," she said.

It's ironic. Anti-immigrant voters are always whining about how people come here illegally to steal jobs and government benefits from citizens. Meanwhile, they're the ones greedily stiffing a hardworking citizen.

God bless America.

for supplemental support. Then, it's people like them who will complain how these foreigners are living off the taxpayers. Plus, people like you will complain that they're taking away jobs that 'Mercans should be holding (but don't seem to want to take).

What a bunch of hooey!

It seems to have similar effects to cocaine. In particular, it seems to mimic cocaine's co-morbidities with certain unplesant personality defects.

the service (or willing to pay less).

They suspected the person doing a job for them was not legally working. They let them work anyways. And then refused to pay the non-citizen the same rate as a citizen. Ah, very classy.
