Family Kicked Out Of Golden Corral Restaurant Over Children's Skin Disorder

6. Really?

It didn't look contagious, it looked unappetizing and that's what the manager was concerned about.

During WW II my mother worked as a waitress in the restaurant at Penn Station in NYC. (Now long gone) One day during dinner a soldier, escorted by a nurse and another soldier, came in and was seated by the hostess. Slowly you heard the clink of knives and forks being gently placed on plates as those around him saw he had no nose, nor ears, nor eyes, and strange looking lips. (among other disfigurements) My mother, the hostess and another waitress walked quietly up to those tables and encouraged people to please continue eating. She told me people had tears streaming down their faces, but they did resume their meals. No one left the restaurant prematurely and many went up to his table to give him a hug, or pat his shoulder and say thank you.

Americans used to have souls.
