A black waitress had to serve a Donald Trump supporter - an hour later she saw this on the table
|
If you can set aside your biases and treat people like family or friends—without worrying about their backgrounds—you might be surprised by the outcome.
Just ask Rosalind Harris.
Rosalind Harris is a waitress at a coffee shop in Washington, DC.
One day, at the end of January, a man walked into the cafe with two friends and ordered lunch. The three white men sat down at a table that Rosalind was serving.
The men were in the capital to watch the swearing-in ceremony of US President Donald Trump, who had made comments like, "our African-American communities are in the worst situation ever."
They stood out among the other diners because they were wearing hats that said "Make America Great Again."
The cafe's walls were decorated with African-American art and photos, as noted in a Washington Post article.
Just two days earlier, Rosalind had taken part in a women's march against Donald Trump.
Rosalind and the three men had very different political views, and emotions were running high in the city that day.
But Rosalind chose to put all that aside and treat her customers like anyone else.
She welcomed them with a smile and a little chat. Her friendly attitude surprised the three men and showed them how much they appreciated her.
When Rosalind went to take the bill back from their table, she got a big surprise.
One of the men, James White, wrote a note on the receipt. He said:
"We may come from different cultures and disagree on some things, but if everyone shared their smiles and kindness like your beautiful smile, our country would be united—without race, without gender, just Americans. God bless you."
He also left her a $450 tip!
