Good for him, for doing the right thing. There should be more people like him in this world.

He must be confident in his job. Good for him but could cost an individual their job.

Waiters get to select their customers based on character now?

the man has lost the plot, I'd be telling him to pull his head in.

It's not that I disagree with his position, but when you are being paid to wait tables, you wait tables.That's all there is to it.

“Milo wasn’t being bad, he was just talking and making little noises,” Garcia told FoxNews.com. But a customer at a nearby table who was also with his family began making comments about Milo.

since this happened in my home town, i want to find that waiter, have him wait on me, and give him a double tip!!!

i think its great that someone stood up for his beliefs, even knowing that he may lose his job! too many times people will let ugly comments, rude remarks, etc go by the wayside in fear of speaking up.
