Most servers work hard to get a monetary tip on their receipt, but for 18-year-old Sadie Elledge, she got something no one should ever receive.The young waitress was working the lunch shift at Jess’ Lunch, in Harrisonburg, Virginia, when one of her tables ordered two gyros and a salad

Elledge told WHSV reporter Isabel Rosales that she gave them decent service, but when it came time to pay the $26.11 bill, she found a surprise on her receipt.Instead of a tip, there was a note: “We only tip citizens,” with the signature of one “Ada M. Doriot.”

Elledge is already an American citizen, albeit one of Honduran and Mexican heritage, and said she didn’t make a big deal about it because she’s used to it. “I’ve had people make comments like ‘Go make me a burrito,’ but that’s at school and I don’t pay attention,’” she said.

Her grandfather, who posted the picture to Facebook, said the woman accused of leaving the note believes she’s been wrongly accused of racism — that she’d signed the receipt, but hadn’t written the note.The restaurant has since pulled surveillance video from the time of the incident to find out what happened and why, and the manager of the restaurant has banned the customer from eating there again. “Coward is the word to describe what they did,” said Angeliki Floros, Elledge’s supervisor at Jess’ Lunch. “I have worse words to use, but let’s go with coward.”The restaurant has since pulled surveillance video from the time of the incident to find out what happened and why, and the manager of the restaurant has banned the customer from eating there again. “Coward is the word to describe what they did,” said Angeliki Floros, Elledge’s supervisor at Jess’ Lunch. “I have worse words to use, but let’s go with coward.”The restaurant has since pulled surveillance video from the time of the incident to find out what happened and why, and the manager of the restaurant has banned the customer from eating there again. “Coward is the word to describe what they did,” said Angeliki Floros, Elledge’s supervisor at Jess’ Lunch. “I have worse words to use, but let’s go with coward.”
