There is Some Good in Houston After All

[CuteOldGuy]

Found this story about a restaurant in Houston called Laurenzo’s Prime Rib. I don't care if the food is good or not, if I get to Houston, I'm going there.

From the article:

A Houston waiter who refused to serve a customer last week did not lose his job. Instead, Michael Garcia is being celebrated for standing up for a little boy with Down syndrome, with people stopping to shake his hand at the restaurant where regulars are made to feel like part of the family.

One of those regulars, Kim Castillo, was at Laurenzo’s Prime Rib in Houston last week when several waiters stopped by her table. Her 5-year-old son, Milo, who has Down syndrome and whose speech is a little delayed, was showing off his new words and talking about his birthday the week earlier.

A family sitting nearby asked to move away from the Castillo family's table, and a man in the group made a disparaging remark about Milo.

“I heard the man say, ‘Special needs children need to be special somewhere else,’” Garcia told NBC affiliate KPRC-TV in. “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?’” Garcia said he asked the man before he left the restaurant with his party. “‘How could you say that about a beautiful 5-year-old angel?’”

Three cheers for Michael Garcia!

Seedy, I thought you got along with Joe the Bloehard!

In any event, good job Mr. Garcia!

Not only do I want to go there, I want to be the gentleman's waiter for the night, pick up the tab afterwards, and introduce him to his choice of the finest HDH in Houston, and then tell him, "Son, the tab is on me tonight, thank you!"

I will split the tab with you! I strongly recommend the delectable Ashley Anders!

Very appropriate hat for the ignoramus. Kudos to Mr. Garcia. Read the story on Yahoo and they reported that the restaurant's Facebook page pretty well lit up with praise and compliments for the waiter. I also have a lot of respect for the parents of the child. I know personally how difficult it is to raise a special needs child. I have a grandson who has autism and an anxiety disorder, so I know the amount of love and patience it takes.
