Maybe person A got teased their entire life for being tall - and tall jokes are sensitive issue for them.
Why is a person's description even needed in a restaurant. Number or letter the tables.

I agree....but in this case, it hasn't been proved it was a 'jew joke,' it has only been established they were referred to as the 'jew couple.' You said in your post that " - and tall jokes are sensitive issues for them." True, tall
jokes are sensitive issues for them, but what about simply being referred to as tall without a joking or derogatory manner? I think this is an important aspect many are overlooking. You shouldn't get offended or get angry at someone for referring to you as jewish or being tall when they didn't mean it in any sort of derogatory manner whatsoever. True, it's a little uncouth, but restaurants (if you've ever had the happiness of working in one
) are all sorts of uncouth when you have 30 customers that want to be pleased.
