Wealthy Man Bullies Poor Family At a Restaurant And Lives To Regret It
Everyone has heard stories about how the wealthy and powerful use their wealth to belittle people who do not fit into their social class. The terrible thing is that these acts of bullying are usually just done to show off their successes.
Some good people still speak up for what is right, even though the majority of spectators would choose to remain silent in order to avoid being part of the mess. And this millionaire recently received the most unexpected teacher for his lesson.
They Don’t Belong Here
The family was dressed simply and it looked like they were enjoying their own company in peace. Tony started off by making jokes about the family and he made sure that his voice was loud enough so that the poor family could hear him.
He started shouting things like “What is a group of losers doing in a luxury restaurant like this?” and his friends would snicker loudly and agree with him. But to his dismay, the family continued with their meal and ignored him and his group.
Could You Stop?
When the first course was served, Tony started tossing small pieces of food in the direction of the poor family. The people around him encouraged his behavior by laughing at what he was doing. One of the waitresses saw this and wondered aloud why he was acting like a child.
The waitress came up to him and asked him to stop. It was the first time that anybody in the restaurant had reacted to his behavior. And the millionaire did not take it well. He could not believe this waitress would embarrass him in front of his guests.
They Left the Restaurant
Tony said that the poor low-life family could not be more important than him in the restaurant. He even wondered if the family could afford a single appetizer on the menu. During Tony’s tantrums, the family stood up and started gathering their things.
They were not even able to finish their meals. It looks like the bully has won. They left some money on the table and prepared to leave. Tony noticed the family was about to leave and started to laugh. Now he had the restaurant to himself just the way he wanted it.
Familiar Face
But before the poor family left, the father looked over his shoulder and his sad eyes met Tony’s for a brief moment. It was the first time Tony had a good look at the father’s face. The millionaire froze for a second as a feeling of recognition swept over him.
He knew he had seen those eyes before but he could not remember where. Sara, the waitress from earlier, overheard Tony asking one of the staff if she had any idea who the family was. The other waitress had no clue but Sara knew this family very well.
