The waiter who went viral on social media after he was allegedly forced to stand in front of a complaining LGBTQIA+ customer whom he addressed as ‘sir’ received thousands of support from the netizens.
It can be recalled that the said waiter, who was working at a restaurant in Cebu City, was spotted standing in front of writer Jude Bacalso for almost two hours.
According to some witnesses who saw the incident, other employees of the restaurant couldn’t do anything to save their colleague, believing that Jude was close to their boss.
Many netizens believed that the waiter would not stay at the restaurant whether he was removed from his position or not.
Despite his possible employment loss, many business owners were already offering jobs for the said waiter.
One of those entrepreneurs was Joel Torres, who said that he would hire the waiter as a supervisor of their barbershop or maybe in his own travel agency.
“Mag star na ako ng renovation sa Master’s Barbershop. I-refer niyo ako sa waiter sa Ullies kung natanggal na siya sa work,” said Torres. “I-hire ko siya sa Barbershop o sa South Shore Travel and Tours,” he wrote.
According to Torres, he admired the attitude of the waiter, who didn’t make any bad moves despite being forced to stand for almost two hours.
As of writing, the said waiter has yet to be identified.
