Waiter's aren't usually praised for refusing to serve customers, but one waiter is facing a tidal wave of support and praise after he did just that.
On Jan. 16, Michael Garcia, a waiter at Laurenzo's, a steakhouse in Houston, refused to serve a customer who was making comments about a 5-year-old boy named Milo with Down syndrome sitting nearby, Fox News reported. Fox said the customer got up and moved his family farther away from Milo.
The customer also reportedly said, 'Special needs children need to be special somewhere else.'
That's when Garcia stepped in and told the man, 'Sir, I won't be able to serve you.'
The man and his family left the restaurant, but the incident has since gone viral, inspiring an outpouring of praise for Garcia.
Laurenzo's Facebook page has seen a slew of posts thanking Garcia.
'Thank you Mr. Garcia, I have a 17 year old son with Down syndrome and I love to hear about people like yourself standing up for people with disabilities,' Facebook user Rick Parker posted.
Tisha Baker wrote, 'Thank you so much for speaking up when most just turn away.'
The praise has not been limited to Texans.
'BRAVO Michael! BRAVO! STANDING OVATION from Massachusetts!' Rick Stoddard posted.

A Houston waiter's Facebook page has been inundated with friend requests and messages after a story of how he stood up for a special needs child went viral.
Michael Garcia, a waiter at Laurenzo's, was serving a family who have been regulars since the restaurant opened. The family includes 5-year-old Milo, who has Down syndrome.
'Milo wasn't being bad, he was just talking and making little noises,' Garcia told FoxNews.com. But a customer at a nearby table who was also with his family began making comments about Milo.
The customer got up from the table and moved his family to another table further away from Milo, but still in Garcia's serving section.
Garcia said the man continued talking about Milo and said, 'special needs children need to be special somewhere else.'
'My personal feelings took over because that's ignorance in my opinion and I told him 'Sir, I won't be able to serve you,'' Garcia tells FoxNews.com.
The man and his family got up and left the restaurant, while Milo's family was unaware of the incident at all.
'Maybe there were other ways I could have handled it, but Milo is such an angel, he is a gift from God as are all special needs children,' Garcia said.
Garcia did not tell Milo's family of the incident because he didn't want to cause them any pain. He compared his actions to wanting to shield someone and said
