Lately there seems to be an unusually high percentage of racist customers coming to my motel lately.
One customer said to me, "I half expected you to be Middle Eastern." Um...sorry to dissappoint you?
Another customer was far worse, though. He just couldn't drop it.
RC (Racist Customer): (after I ask for his ID and he hands it over) So, uh, what do you do when you get a Mexican in here?
Me: Um...excuse me?
RC: When you ask for ID, what do you do?
Me: I look at everyone's ID.
RC: But the Mexicans...what about when they don't have an American ID?
Me: It doesn't have to be a US ID. We get several international guests here from all over the world. Passports or driver's licenses from their country of origin work fine.
RC: What if they don't have any ID?
Me: Then they don't get a room. Just like if you didn't have and ID, you wouldn't get a room. (Me thinking: Dude, get a clue)
RC: Oh...ok...but this state, it's pretty liberal, right? They let Mexicans stay and work here?
(Me, looking at the red state he's from and thinking: People like you are the reason other people hate conservatives (I consider myself a moderate-leaning-towards-conservative-end).)
Seriously, WTH? I understand being against illegal immigration, but holding stereotypes against the entire population like this guy was doing is just wrong.
