"The presidential inauguration may have added tension between some Republicans and Democrats, but one waitress who joined the Women’s March shared a surprisingly unifying moment with a Donald Trump-supporting customer this week.
Rosalynd Harris, a waitress at Busboys and Poets in Washington, D.C., was serving a table of three white men Monday and assumed, based on their outfits (she says they were wearing trucker hats), that they were visiting from out of state and had come to town for Trump’s inauguration.
Harris, who had attended the Women’s March that weekend, chatted with the group and learned that they were from West Texas. They asked her about the restaurant, which is named after Langston Hughes, an African-American poet who wrote moving literature about black identity in America. Then, Harris told The Huffington Post, they told her they’ve never experienced a place like it before.
The group left quietly after their meal, but when Harris went to pick up their check, she noticed a long note written on the receipt.
“We may come from different cultures and may disagree on certain issues,” the note read, “but if everyone would share their smile and kindness like your beautiful smile, our country will come together as one people. Not race. Not gender. Just American.”
Then Harris saw that they had left her a $450 tip on a $72.60 bill.”*
