Tip Ricardo: Because Hate Has No Place Here

Ricardo is a hardworking server at Cazuela's Bar & Grill in Columbus, Ohio.

The evening of 03/02/25, he was doing his job like any other day, giving great service. And then—after serving an $87 meal—he gets left a zero tip and a hateful, racist message on the receipt.

“ZERO, YOU SUCK. I HOPE TRUMP DEPORTS YOU!!!"

In case it's unclear: THESE PEOPLE WERE EATING AT A MEXICAN RESTAURANT.

They enjoyed the food. They enjoyed the service. And then, instead of tipping, they decided to show their true colors in the most disgusting way possible.

Well, guess what? Hate doesn’t win here.

The internet has already handled the people responsible (so no need to waste energy on them). This fundraiser is about lifting up Ricardo and showing him that the community stands with him.

Let’s tip him what he deserves—and then some.

Every dollar raised will go directly to Ricardo. Cazuela's is less than 10 minutes from my house and we have been loyal customers for years. I am in contact with management and they will assist in ensuring that 100% of the funds raised go directly to Ricardo.

Now’s the time to drown out hate with love. Drop a donation, leave a message of support, and let’s show Ricardo that this community has his back!
