*A Houston-based chef says she was blindsided by racism while on vacation at a Mexico resort.

Tiffani Janelle says she and her friends were enjoying a weekend getaway at the Be Telum resort in Mexico, where she was looking forward to relaxing from her stressful job.

But things went left when she was handed the receipt for lunch and cocktails.

Janelle says her bill had the N-word inscribed on it.

“No one in my 35 years has said that to me to my face,” Janelle said.

“I think being in a country where in this country, in America where they’re considered minorities as well, it was just kind of a flabbergasting experience,” she continued. “We’re just like, ‘No, you need to understand why this is so bad. This is like the worst.'”

Janelle said she spoke with the manager who told her the waitress made a mistake.

“We were the only black people present,” she said. “It wasn’t an accident. It was not a mistake. It was most intentional.”

The group left Be Telum after the incident, and a rep for the resort told LA’s ABC7 News that the waitress responsible for the slur had been terminated. She had been working there for just three weeks, according to Be Telum.

The resort also said Janelle and her group were refunded for their entire stay and invited to come back.

To that, Janelle said, “No, thanks.”
