California waitress who kicked out CEO during racist tirade receives over $78G in tips [View all]

Now that’s a big tip.

A California waitress has received over $78,000 in tips and praise as an “everyday hero” after kicking out the CEO of a San Francisco tech company who cursed at an Asian family during a racist rant at a restaurant over the Fourth of July weekend.

Gennica Cochran, who works as a server at the Lucia Bar & Restaurant inside the Bernardus Lodge & Spa, immediately intervened when she heard Michael Lofthouse, CEO of tech company Solid8, cursing and yelling at an Asian family who was celebrating a birthday at the Carmel Valley restaurant.

"You need to leave right now. Get out, you are not allowed here, get out now,” Cochran ordered Lofthouse in a now-viral video. “You do not talk to our guests like that, they are valued guests, you are not allowed here ever again!"

The CEO has since issued an apology to the Orosa Chan family for his “appalling” behavior and racist remarks.
