While dining at Cazuelas Mexican Restaurant & Cantina in Columbus, Ohio, a customer left a disturbing message on her receipt. She scribbled “I hope Trump deports you!!!” across the signature line.

She had spent $87.84 on the meal, but instead of leaving a tip, she chose to write “Zero, you suck,” alongside the offensive comment directed at the waiter.

One of the restaurant staff members later shared a photo of the receipt on Facebook, and it quickly began making the rounds online.

The name on the receipt, Stephanie Lovins, was clearly visible. After some digging, people discovered she had worked as a real estate agent for nearly three decades at Century 21, a major global name in residential property sales.

After the post went viral and sparked backlash, Lovins attempted to explain herself on a local Facebook group, saying that her “credit card was lost/stolen and someone attempted to use it.”

She said her phone had been blowing up with messages and notifications ever since the incident went public. But she claimed her main focus was making sure the matter had been reported to her bank properly.

Lovins blamed the message on “scammers and profile hackers” and thanked those who had shown her “patience” while she tried to handle the issue.

Despite her explanation, the restaurant’s marketing manager, Fabio Oribio, reviewed the CCTV footage. He confirmed to The Columbus Dispatch that it was, without a doubt, Lovins who wrote the comment on the receipt.

Following the confirmation, Lovins was let go from her job. Century 21 soon released a public statement addressing what had happened.

“We are aware of the situation with the agent in question. Hate has no place within the Century 21 brand, and we are taking this very seriously.” the statement read.

“After investigating the situation and connecting with the respective broker, as all companies affiliated with the Century 21 brand are independently owned and operated, we can confirm that this agent is no longer affiliated with the brand.”

Lovins, who claimed her credit card was stolen, was fired after CCTV footage proved she was the one who wrote the note.Facebook
The restaurant also released a statement on their social platforms, sharing their stance: “We believe in the power of respect, tolerance and acceptance.”

“Recently, one of our team members faced an unacceptable situation, and we stand firmly against any form of hate or discrimination.”

“It was a normal Sunday; things got a little busy, so the wait could have been a little longer than usual, but we aren’t really sure what made her write that.”

It was also revealed that the waiter involved in the incident is named Ricardo. He’s a U.S. citizen who currently holds down two jobs to make ends meet.

In light of the situation, a GoFundMe campaign was launched to “give him the tip he deserves.” and offer him some financial support.

So far, the fundraiser has pulled in more than $8,800.

News.com.au reached out to both Cazuelas and Century 21 to ask for further comments on the incident.

This situation comes at a time when tensions across the U.S. are already high, especially around the topic of immigration. President Trump has recently hinted that “mass deportations” could be coming soon.

Since Trump entered office, cases like Lovins’ have become more frequent. Many believe that his rhetoric has encouraged people to act on hateful beliefs more openly.

For example, a public official recently stepped down after a video emerged showing her making a gesture that looked eerily similar to Elon Musk’s controversial salute during the inauguration — which many said resembled a Nazi salute.

Meanwhile, another man from Florida reportedly lost his job after he made threats and used hateful language against a left-wing TikToker named Mercedes. He was quoted as saying “This is Florida … they don’t fire us for this. Hahah”

These types of stories are now being summed up on social media with the phrase FAFO — short for “Fk Around, Find Out.”
