Short Order Chip Server Is Cause for Complaints
- Share via
MILWAUKEE — A Mexican restaurant has drawn complaints from an organization of short people for sending a 4-foot-4 employee around to serve customers chips and salsa from his sombrero.
Anthony Soares, vice president of public relations for Little People of America in New York City, called the stunt humiliating.
Nacho Mama’s restaurant, which opened Wednesday, features Steve Vento serving snacks from his hat. Vento previously worked as a comic and portrayed the Hamburglar character for McDonald’s.
“We’ve had only one person saying that it was degrading,” Vento said. “We’re nothing more than a handful of people having a good time.”
