Well that was some badly written article, if that's all it takes to write for the Washington Post we are doomed.
Perhaps they ordered alcohol and were only asked for their ID's and nothing more?
Yea, sound legit....
That is far statement except the waitor is quoted as saying " I did to know that you are from here".
Your arguement is not passed on the facts presented. Your are being disingenuous by stating nonfacts
In high school did you get a good grade if you put down the wrong answer? You just scored an f for fail.
Please only reponse with facts. If you wish to express opinion you but understand that is all it is.

A California restaurant owner is looking for a new waiter if some needs a gig.
If any of this even happened in the first place.
Or perhaps it was all a ploy to get a dude fired, so that one of their cousins could find a job opening?

now to the meat of the article:
doesn't it sound strange that the guy would just randomly ask that? what about tourists? does he refuse to serve them? why risk your job over something so stupid?
I live here in So Cali, and yes he did do that. I have no idea why. It is on our news.
If it's on the corporate news then it DEFINITELY happened precisely as reported!

Thanks for providing an outside opinion, like I said before, these libs think the world operates and looks the same like America or any other developed nation, this is their fallacy.

They confirmed the allegations? Or confirmed it actually happened as claimed?[/quot
We have it from a news source that provided the names of the Manger and direct quotes from the people there.
If you want to now how that paper feels about the news in general read their editorials to find out what flavor of paper they are.
It covered in the Constitution. It's a good read.

A California waiter refused to serve 4 Latina customers until he saw ‘proof of residency’
....and as usual, Liberals blow it out of proportion, label it "racism" [ isn't everything? ] and blame Trump.... Or anyone who voted for Trump or happens to agree with anything Trump says, no matter what.
But make damn sure you don't lump all of them together. That's racist.....or something.
I don't buy it at all...
None of it adds up..
Either it was staged or a really bad joke.
A waiter can't refuse service or deport people ..
So what would he have been going for??
This doesn't add up as sold.
Except the restaurant confirmed the story.
The story would still be true if it was a joke..
In fact it could have been way harder to explain and defend the joke than just to fire him and get it over with.
Sure you could have one mentally disabled waiter trying to personally enforce immigration laws..
But I've never met one... nor anything even close to resembling one..
A waiter cares if they tip...
Not if they were born here.
Even if they were immigrants, why couldn't they be legal and not have brought their visa to F'n Applebee's, lmao!
None of this actually adds up

In other countries they do ask foriegners for i.d as unlike america they dont put up with illegal aliens .
Just because other countrys are a police state.......
I 100% agree with cracking down on illegal immigrants. But by discrimination and police state tatics? No.

Different people have different priorities. Just because you wouldn't do this, doesn't mean someone else won't as well.
Plus even if it was a joke, who risks offending your source of tips to make such a tasteless joke?[/quote
Waiter had no right to ask the question. Period
Your right, you get tips by being charming.

That's exactly how I feel it went down. He was just being dumb and said the wrong thing in a politically charged environment, especially california.

I'm not to sure this person has their head on right. Wiki says "As of 2015, California has the largest minority population in the United States.". Was this guy going to run around surprise nazi'ing all the minorities? Seems like flawed logic overall, tell-tale sign of a nutter.
Or a joke that went horribly wrong and the buisness wasn't gonna try and defend...
Say he was really checking for age for cocktails and as a joke said
" I gotta make sure y'all are from here.."
Attempting for it to be viewed as a silly, sarcastic joke..but then it blew up...

So at this point we are debating on if the waiter was telling a joke or being serious. So are you admitting that this guy said something insensitive?
Well it is a fact that racist incidents and hate crimes are on the rise since Trump took office. This could easily be one more in that larger trend.

Do you really have to ask that question?
"Local ACTIVISTS claim their has been a rise in hate crimes.."
Local activists claim...not exactly the CDC ..
More than 1,000 reports of hate incidents in the United States were collected by the Southern Poverty Law Center in the month since Donald Trump's election, and data released in January by the FBI show there were 5,850 hate crime incidents nationally in 2015, up 6.8 percent from 5,479 in 2014.
