A waiter in San Antonio has lost his job after wishing that Hurricane Harvey survivors would 'drown' in a Facebook post.

The waiter - who is not being named by local media - made the appalling remarks about 'cheap evacuees' on the San Antonio Craigslist Facebook page earlier this week.

He called the victims - who he claimed asked for discounts then refused to pay tips - 'b***hes' and called for them and their families to 'die slow,' leading to him being dropped from his position at Rainforest Cafe, mySA reported.

Shocking: A waiter in San Antonio made this shocking remark on a Facebook group last week. It was soon deleted, but appalled readers called up his place of work to complain

Fired: The waiter has been fired from a Rainforest Cafe (pictured) in the city after the rand went viral. It had been deleted from the group, but not before people sent out screenshots

'Man, f**k all you cheap evacuees,' the Facebook rant read, 'don't come eat at my retaurant [sic] and ask for a discount and then not tip me!!!

'F**k each and every one of y'all go back to Houston, Galveston, and Corpus, and f**king drown!!!

'Idgaf this is how I get paid if you not gonna pay me for your good service then die slow B***hes you and your family!!! Idgaf!!!'

Unfortunately for the waiter, his employers did 'gaf'.

The message was quickly deleted from the group, but not before screenshots were taken and circulated online.

Furious visitors then called up Rainforest Cafe's 110 East Crockett downtown location, where the waiter worked, and demanded he be fired.

Keith Beitler, the senior vice president and COO of the specialist restaurants division of Rainforest Cafe's parent company, Landry, said his position was then terminated.

'It was brought to our attention that an employee of Rainforest Cafe in San Antonio shared personal comments on a private group Facebook page,' he said in a statement.

'This is not reflective of our company's views and this employee is no longer employed with us. Our hearts go out to all those affected by Hurricane Harvey's devastation.'
