LOL, them yankee boys were licking their chops and rode the one guy who agreed with the waitress for all he was worth

Then casually mention that blue state New York only 1/4 as many people stand up to the waitress (taking into account sample size)

Ridiculous media is ridiculous

And the quotes from that yankee scum make my blood boil "we're here to eat" OMG How does one live?

"I hate rude behavior in a man. I won't tolerate it"

This. People up north are sooooooo much better. Make the southerner look dumb. Classic.

The setup actually made Texans look more empathetic than New Yorkers, which defies stereotypes and is generally heartwarming to see.

Yeah it certainly isn't defiant of stereotypes....... New Yorkers are complete ********. It's depressing to go to the deli and have the 65 year old woman behind the counter do a double take because I address her as ma'am. You live in the South too Panzer you should be well aware that people as in any other place may personally hate and think an act or action is wrong but will not say or bother people committing it. What that waitress did is unimaginable in any damn place she would probably be fired.

whoa whoa Texas does not equal the south

The south is filled with ignorant crackers

Texans are the most noble of noble

OH GOD...................... The most Texan man I have ever known was a Mexican Sergeant First Class who referred to other Mexicans as wetbacks.

Southern hospitality is unmatched by any other.

I must have had a stroke, because this is the third or fourth paragraph I've read tonight that I just don't understand.

Anyway, I just thought it was cool that real life people went way beyond what I would have expected and stood up against some of the same rhetoric that seems to be far more acceptable when posted in relative anonymity on the internet. I wasn't trying to make a statement about the North versus the South.

From the glance I got of the NY restaurant maybe that has something to do with it. The Texan one was just a little diner, people are more likely to speak up in that sort of environment compared to the place in NY, it looked pretty posh and you probably get the sort of people there that wouldn't want to make a fuss (unless it concerned them).

Agreed.

The size and type of restaurant plays a big role here. I imagine that in the smaller Texas restaurant people felt more "at home" as they probably were regular guests. So the comparison as such has big flaws.

With that said, big cred to Texas! Very heartwarming to watch!

I wonder what I would've done. I think I might have spoken out when the waitress claims to speak on behalf of all customers there.


As for TX vs NY: Me, I blame urbanised vs rural. It is always in the city where one will freeze to death while a million people walk by.


Also, I am shocked at the derogatory tone with which these customers adress the waitress. 'You need to be unpolitical and just do your job' - oh, how that would make for a fun thread about differences between Texas and France. I might've stood up for the waitress against these presumptuous customers.
