This Diner Waitress Went Viral For Telling Off A Homophobic And Perverted Customer
Massapequa, New York. The TikToker Louis Cozzolino posted two videos of an interaction between a Massapequa Diner waitress and a very creepy patron.
The waitress, Sondra Albert, went viral and is being applauded for standing up against the customer’s homophobic comments and perverted actions.
Last Saturday, the man was apparently staring at underage girls and even trying to give them his number.
Afterward, he began loudly making homophobic and sexist comments. He was sitting alone the entire time.
The staff had already moved the man away from the underage girls’ table, but his behavior was not stopping. So, Sondra stepped in.
“Honestly, nobody want’s to wait on you. We are asking you nicely to please just leave, that’s it. You got a cup of coffee out of us; what more do you want?” Sondra told the customer in the first video.
“You are not going to call me a b****, you are not going to sit near my boss’ wife, you’re not going to call people a lesbian, and you sure as hell ain’t gonna look at underage girls.”
After telling the man off, Sondra walked away while Louis and his group applauded for her on the camera.

“You are a pedophile and a freak, and you deserve to be locked up in Bellevue. That is all I have to say, and I am asking you nicely,” Sondra is heard one last time in the first video.
Still, the man continued to sip his single cup of coffee and refused to leave the diner. That prompted Sondra to approach the man again while Louis continued recording a second video.
“You don’t frighten me for one minute, but the way you speak about people who are lesbians and young children? You are not wanted here, and all of these kids will back me up, right guys?” Sondra said while looking toward Louis’ group. They all voiced their agreements again.
The man even had the nerve to say that Sondra would not serve him a couple of weeks prior. To that, she asked if he had taken a “good look in the mirror.”
Finally, the diner called the police, and the diner’s owner approached the table. Only then did the man “volunteer” to leave.
In an interview afterward, Sondra described how she has been a waitress for fifteen years and gets all kinds of customers. But, she had never seen anyone like this man.
“It’s a different kind of abuse, and I’ve never exploded like that before. I love the Massapequa Diner patrons, they’re the sweetest in the world, and they should know that their kids are safe when they come in here,” she said.
Louis also posted a third video featuring Sondra’s personal text message to his girlfriend, Lauren.
In it, she described her thankfulness to the group for capturing the video as well as her feelings toward the whole situation.
“I really care about all of you kids, and I do this job because I love all of you,” Sondra wrote.
“I want the world to know that being gay– it’s not a disease– and if people don’t like it, then I could tell them where to stick it. Nobody should be judged… we are all people, and we all deserve to be loved.”
Louis’ videos gained the utmost support from the TikTok community, garnering over ten million views between the three videos.
“There is nothing stronger and more powerful than a woman who genuinely cares for the community and is tired of someone’s bs,” commented one user.
“THIS is how servers should be allowed to react,” commented another user.
