While it was sheer stupidity on the restaurant's part to do it, considering our litigous society, let's be frank.
Are they jewish?
Are they a couple?
Then "Jew Couple" is a describer. It is not in and of itself insulting unless they are either ashamed of being a jew or ashamed of being a couple.
If the statement were more derogatory (fucking jew couple, cheap jew couple, kike couple, whatever) then I could see getting pissy about it. But I really don't understand why people get upset at being called what they are. I also don't understand why people automatically assume the worst of other's intentions. They read "jew couple" and automatically assumed that the waitress was anti semetic. That's absurd.
