so, I am a food server.
I have been serving to an older couple, probably in their seventies or eighties, for the last week and a half or so.
We joke, we laugh, they eat, we have fun.
today, they are leaving, and the man says.

"Have fun all day"
"Don't take any wooden nickles!"
"Keep you hair blonde!"
"Stay away from all of the Indians!"

at that last comment, I look at his wife, with a "WTF???"
expression on my face..

She says, "He has dementia. He doesn't know what he's saying most of the time."

They leave.

A full blooded Native American motions me to their table.

"What the hell did that guy say about Native Americans?"

I tell him, he has dementia...he doesn't know what he's saying."

"Oh, he has dementia..."

"It is still too ugly, and not okay,
I don't care if he has dementia,
Is this a racist restaurant? Should we expect that kind of comment whenever we come in here?"
