One day, a family moved seats after hearing Milo, making a cruel comment about special needs children. Waiter Michael Garcia overheard and, angered by the remark, told the family he wouldn\u2019t serve them.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the risk of upsetting his employer, Michael stood his ground, and the family left. The Laurenzo family supported Michael\u2019s decision, showing that standing up for what\u2019s right can sometimes mean going against customers.<\/p>\n<p>This incident, from 10 years ago, still serves as a reminder of the importance of standing up for people with special needs. Michael\u2019s courage made a lasting impact on Milo and his mother, showing the power of kindness and integrity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mb-2 flex gap-3 empty:hidden -ml-2\">\n<div class=\"items-center justify-start rounded-xl p-1 flex\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pr-2 lg:pr-0\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 w-full empty:hidden\">\n<div class=\"text-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"md:pt-0 dark:border-white\/20 md:border-transparent md:dark:border-transparent w-full\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"m-auto text-base px-3 md:px-4 w-full md:px-5 lg:px-4 xl:px-5\">\n<div class=\"mx-auto flex flex-1 gap-4 text-base md:gap-5 lg:gap-6 md:max-w-3xl\">\n<div class=\"flex justify-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kim Castillo and her son Milo, who has Down syndrome, were regulars at Laurenzo\u2019s restaurant.
