Restaurant Bans ‘Venomous,’ ‘Vile’ Woman Who Asked For Spanish-Speaking Customers’ Passports

A woman launched a tirade of racist remarks against Spanish-speaking customers in a Virginia restaurant Friday, the video of which was obtained by Telemundo. Following the incident, which prompted the police to respond to the scene, the restaurant — Andy’s in Lovettsville, Virginia — took to its Facebook page and wrote a sarcasm-filled post, banning the woman from its premises.

“Thank you for understanding that you have a right to express your venomous and vitriolic views — no matter how odious and ignorant — under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution,” the post read. “Thank you for feeling sufficiently comfortable in those views to express them, thereby making a spectacle of yourself — and allowing all who witnessed ‘the incident’ on Oct. 19, 2018 to understand what a vile and loathsome individual you are,” it added.

In the sarcastic post, the restaurant also “thanked” the woman for “disrupting the rights of others,” regaling people “with your idiotic values,” and “using profanity in expressing your views.”

In conclusion, Andy's told the woman to never return to the restaurant. “You are not welcome,” the post said.

In the video, recorded by a witness at the scene, an unidentified white Caucasian woman was seen pointing her finger and screaming at a Guatemalan family who were enjoying a meal at Andy’s.

“Go back to [your] f------ country” the woman said in a fit of rage and warned them not to "freeload on America.” She also frequently asked to see their passports.

Although the police arrived at the scene, no charges were filed against the woman. “The female subject was asked to leave the business by the manager and she complied without any further incident,” a spokesman for the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office told the Huffington Post.

Even after stepping out of the restaurant, the woman continued to rant against the family she had targeted earlier, which was captured in the video. "I'm tired of this s---,” she was heard saying.

One of members of the family which was victimized by the woman spoke to NBC4 on the condition of anonymity, saying she was dining with her seven-year-old daughter and relatives, who were visiting from Guatemala when the incident happened.

“They’re here visiting and they don’t know English, so how do you want them to speak English when they’re here just visiting?” the woman said. “It’s not fair that they do this to us, and even less acceptable if there are children present. It’s not fair for any child to have to go through that. You just don’t do that.”

The incident occurred five months after a New York attorney named Aaron Schlossberg was fired from his job after a video showing him threatening to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on customers and employees for speaking Spanish at a restaurant went viral.
