Michael Garcia, a waiter in Houston, Texas, refused to serve customers who acted rudely toward a 5-year-old boy with Down Syndrome. "I heard the man say, 'Special needs children need to be special somewhere else'… My personal feelings took over, and I told him, 'I'm not going to be able to serve you, Sir… How could you say that?… How could you say that about a beautiful 5-year-old angel?'"
Garcia refused to serve the customers who threatened to leave if nobody else served them. Garcia responded, "Good!" and they left the restaurant. The restaurant has since gained many new customers for Garcia's common decency.
I applaud Mr. Garcia for his actions. I would go out of my way to patronize the restaurant and give him a giant tip. But should we hold him up as a hero? Or did he do what common decency demands? Has the media made a huge event out of this because we have lost all perspective on common decency, which makes this unusual -- and heroic?

Not many people have the courage to do that
And the natural consequence of the waiter's behavior based on his integrity is higher traffic to the restaurant and I'm sure he'll get some great tips for a bit. He should be proud of himself as should his employer. Everyone - take lessons from him! And God bless that little sweet boy :)
I seem to remember 0bama making fun of special needs children, and I invite him to leave as well.
he's definitely a HERO to stand up to those who would be so rude ..
KUDOS to this young man ..
who definitely let the rude one know the lesson ..
doesn't matter what one looks like .... young or old ..
just be decent to another
Don't you remember all the vile hatred liberals directed at Trig Palin and
Obama making jokes at the expense of handicapped people?
Oh, you were talking about the rude pricks making fun of the child, never mind, my bad.
Obama mocks disabled children with his low life comments on special Olympics. Have you seen that jackass throw a ball? He looks handicapped himself.
I have a friend who has a down's syndrome child...and yes, she can be a pistol... but she is also a real cute kid....and a sweetheart.... Deal with reality folks... If you don't want to see the real world.....STAY HOME!!
I applaud Mr. Garcia for taking a stand!!
