I agree with Marvelous Marv that the couple, in the interests of manners, should have simply demanded an explanation and an apology. The girl was in the wrong, but I don't think she meant any offense by that term. If anything, she simply should keep such descriptions to herself and her close friends or others who are sure not to be offended. I for one did not know that "Jew couple" is a racial/religious slur. So obviously it isn't common knowledge to everyone. This is simply a case of poor judgement on the part of the waitress, couple, and media.
