He has worked at a popular Mexican chain restaurant for over a year. "I came back to the table and everything was gone and that's the receipt they had left had that written on top of it," he said. Besides the 0 scribbled and marked through on the line, Bergeron said the mean message was the 'tip' the black couple gave him Saturday. Bergeron said working in the restaurant industry you have to have a thick skin, but comments referring to his skin color are new to him. Although, he's not been immune to mean comments. "Not so much like the race one--I've seen like get a real job or something like that," he said. Bergeron brushed the message off, but it was his friend that posted the receipt on Facebook. Bergeron said the flood of comments was something he didn't expect. He said he didn't want to single out the couple for their actions.

"I'd say even if they came back in I'd still give them the exact same service I did last time," he said. While saving his money, Nathan is living out of his car and taking on extra work as often as possible.
