Garcia's common decency

Michael Garcia, a waiter in Houston, Texas, refused to serve customers who acted rudely toward a 5-year-old boy with Down Syndrome. "I heard the man say, 'Special needs children need to be special somewhere else'… My personal feelings took over, and I told him, 'I'm not going to be able to serve you, Sir… How could you say that?… How could you say that about a beautiful 5-year-old angel?'" 

Garcia refused to serve the customers who threatened to leave if nobody else served them. Garcia responded, "Good!" and they left the restaurant. The restaurant has since gained many new customers for Garcia's common decency.
