A community in Virginia has rallied around a Latina waitress after she received a racist note in lieu of a tip last week.
Sadie Elledge, 18, said she immediately felt uncomfortable when a couple came into Jess' Lunch in downtown Harrisonburg last week.
"They wouldn't talk to me. They would just nod their heads," Elledge told CNN affilaite WHSV.
After she rang up the couple for two gyros, drinks and a Greek salad, they signed the receipt and quickly left the restaurant.
Elledge wasn't surprised that the couple didn't leave her a tip -- that happens sometimes. But the four words they'd written in its place shocked her:

I saw this on Facebook and tried to reach out to John Elledge, the man responsible for posting the image, to ask if he could post a picture of the entire receipt. That way, it would show if this is a merchant's copy or a customer copy and remove questions about the authenticity of this incident. Stories like this have been proven to be false in the past. Question everything.
