A teenage waiter was reduced to tears after a homophobic slur was written on a receipt by a table he had been serving.
When it comes to dining out, some servers say there is a marked difference in how different certain behave at a restaurant.
A 19-year-old waiter in Kansas was left tearful following the shocking actions of a table he was serving, after experiencing homophobic abuse.
Noah Bierig has been working a shift at Bubba’s 33 in Wichita, Kansas when he began serving a group that exuded bad energy.
Bierig claimed that he felt the group were making fun of his painted nails and Pride bracelet – a gift from his mother when he came out six years previously.
He told local news outlet KAKE : “The first time I went up to the table, they were just shooting me a couple dirty looks. And every time I would walk away, they would kind of just start laughing a little bit.”
The young waiter ignored their behaviour and continued to serve them as he would any other customer.
Despite his professionalism, at the end of the meal, Bierig noticed a three-letter homophobic slur written in the “tip” field of the receipt by one of the customers.
