Manager Forced Waitress to Serve Leftovers to Foreign Customer, Life Taught Him a Lesson Immediately — Story of the Day

Higashi, a Japanese tourist, entered a restaurant expecting a warm meal. Andy, a seasoned waiter, had a cunning plan for non-native customers who didn’t speak English. He served Higashi reheated leftovers and robbed him. Andy thought he’d get away with it, but this time, he was sorely mistaken.

During the dinner rush at Sizzling Steak, Louise, a new waitress, noticed a middle-aged Japanese man, Higashi, impeccably dressed in a kimono and overcoat. He scanned the room before settling on a corner table. Louise greeted him warmly, but Higashi struggled with English, requesting a steak and rice bowl.

Louise explained they didn’t have rice bowls, offering fries instead. Higashi nodded, accepting her suggestion.

As Louise moved to clear a half-eaten steak from the counter, Andy stopped her, insisting she serve it to Higashi. Despite her protests about serving cold food, Andy pressured her, citing Higashi’s inability to speak English as an excuse.

Higashi, realizing the food wasn’t what he ordered, objected. Andy intervened rudely, demanding Higashi eat the cold steak and making racist remarks. Feeling ashamed and pressured, Louise served the food as Andy ordered. When Higashi tried to leave, Andy noticed the cash in his wallet and concocted a plan to swindle him further.

Andy promised a better meal to Higashi, but his intentions were sinister. He spilled sake on Higashi’s coat, offering to clean it, only to steal money from its pockets. Louise, appalled by Andy’s actions, managed to retrieve the stolen money and return it to Higashi using a translator app to explain.

A police officer arrived, prompted by Andy’s false accusations against Louise and Higashi. Andy produced a video showing Louise taking money, but Higashi revealed his identity as a journalist and proved the money was his. The officer confirmed the truth, leading to Andy’s arrest.

Grateful, Higashi offered Louise a job opportunity in New York for her bravery and honesty, leaving her with a promising future.
