Woman Loses Her Job After Writing ‘I Hope Trump Deports You’ on Receipt at Mexican Restaurant

A woman has lost her job after writing on a receipt, “I hope Trump Deports you”, after dining at a Mexican restaurant.

In US president Donald Trump’s initial weeks in office, he ordered mass deportations of undocumented migrants, and it seems some are using it to hassle people in their place of work.

On 2 March, real estate agent Stephanie Lovins had a meal at Cazuelas Mexican Cantina in Columbus, Ohio. But, when the bill arrived at the end, rather than leave a tip, Lovins instead wrote a nasty message on the receipt for the waiter who had been serving her – a US citizen – after she reportedly grew upset about the restaurant’s “one coupon per table” policy.

She wrote, “I hope Trump deports you!!!” and also added in the tip section: “Zero, you suck.”

Lovins attempted to disguise that it was her by scribbling out her name on the receipt, but it was still visible on the merchant copy, which was posted by a restaurant employee on Facebook, with the caption: “Yall hate us but love our food. Shame on you, Stephanie, for not saying it with your chest.”

Following the incident, Lovins’ employer, Century 21, confirmed that she had been terminated from her role, saying “hate has no place within the brand”.
