The road to the yellow star
Diana Carillo shares an incident in Trump’s America:
A few friends and I went to Saint Marc’s in Huntington Beach today. My sister and my friend were seated first and the waiter asked them for their “proof of residency” when they ordered a drink. My friend in disbelief repeated what he said and his response was “yeah, I need to make sure you’re from here before I serve you.” Not knowing that this happened to them, my friend and I were then seated and he returned to the table and asked us for our “proof of residency.” After fully digesting what he said, we all got up and left to speak to the manager. For a few seconds I thought maybe he was being a smart ass or joking but the fact that he said “I need to make sure you’re from here before I serve you” was completely unacceptable. How many others has he said this to? I hope this employee is reprimanded for his actions. No establishment should tolerate discriminatory actions from their employees. PLEASE SHARE WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

Meanwhile, Trump’s ‘administration’ is leaving key posts unfilled, but creating new bureaucracies of loyalty-sniffers: http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/news/a53963/trump-unstable/
It looks like they’ve learned all the wrong lessons from the Nazis *and* the Soviets.
Pretty sure that right there is lawsuit worthy…
BKiSA: Agreed, albeit uninformedly. Also: That establishment needs a name change into Black Marks.
So they don’t want to serve tourists even?
According the the Washington Post article which is where I first saw the story, it was this one waiter, not the establishment – they fired him and made a donation to a group of the women’s choice, which was an aid group for immigrants.
On the other hand I’m told they apologized on social media but later removed the apology saying time to move on, which seems…odd.

Oh, I imagine that they just want the whole story to disappear.
