A blatant act of racism cost an Ohio realtor her job after she left a hateful message instead of a tip at a Mexican restaurant. Stephanie Lovins scribbled,
I hope Trump deports you,” on a receipt for Ricardo, a waiter at Cazuelas Mexican Cantina in Columbus. She also wrote, “Zero. You suck!” in the gratuity section before leaving.
A fellow waiter shared the receipt online, igniting outrage and an outpouring of support for Ricardo, a disabled U.S. citizen juggling two jobs. As backlash mounted, Lovins was swiftly fired from Century 21.
The incident not only exposed deep-seated prejudice but also underscored the power of social media in holding people accountable.
