OVERLAND PARK, Kansas (KCTV) - What a customer left behind for a waiter in Kansas has ignited a social media firestorm.
The server found a message written on a credit card receipt telling him he would get no tip because he was gay.
When Dr. Marvin Baker heard about a gay waiter who had been wronged by a customer at the Carrabba's restaurant at 107th and Metcalf, Baker and his homosexual partner showed up for lunch to do their part to make things right.
"I was angry," said Baker. "I said this is not Christian as I know it."
"I said, 'We are here to meet the celebrity. The one who was mistreated,' and she said, 'That's my son. Would you like a table or booth?' I said, 'Wherever he's serving.'"
The 20-year-old waiter and his mother, who also works at the restaurant, say they did not want to make any comments about the hateful message a couple wrote on the receipt earlier this week.
The message started off with a complaint saying, "Thank you for your service, it was excellent." But then the customer goes on to say, "We cannot in good conscience tip you, for your homosexual lifestyle is an affront to God."
Baker, who served as a pastor for many years and leads a Bible study group for LGBT members told the waiter this was unacceptable.

I’m pretty skeptical about this sort of thing, which seems to be getting more popular by the “aggrieved minorities.”
I’ve been to that Carabbas on Metcalf; The food is good and so is the service. I don’t know that I’ve ever noticed anyone of the homosexual persuasion as part of the wait staff. But I have to admit, I don’t have active “gaydar.”

We had a suspicious story reported and resolved locally today.
2 year old black child reported abducted by a white guy in a pickup truck.

A couple hours later the child was found by another family member within a half mile of home.

Police say there are some unanswered questions.
Cheapskates have a new option for stiffing the waitstaff!
Should have said “Here’s a 50% tip. Homosexuality of an affront to God. If I were you I wouldn’t take a tip from someone like me.”
What do I feel I am reading a sequel again. It never ends. What is next a tranny feeling insulted because it didn’t get a tip?
I used to go to a place where I knew the host and knew he was gay. I was dating his sister and he made sure we got special service.
Aside from notifying the press.
Very.
How did they leap to the conclusion that those strangers are Christians, the mention of "God" sure isn't enough, Jews, Mormons, even some Muslims, and all kinds of religions in America use the word "God".
No, the alleged note blamed God. Muslims don’t believe in God.
This happened one time due to a racial thing, and now everyone wants to cash in.
Oh! Say! I forgot to mention.
SOMEONE STIFFED ME MY TIP BECAUSE I AM HETEROSEXUAL AND AMAZING!
Back in the day acting offended wasn't a profitable profession.
How come it is never news when blacks stiff a white waiter?
Excuse me, I meant “Canadians.”
That could work well, but how about don’t even make any suggestions. Just say, “This is a 50 % tip, and homosexuality is a sin towards God and will never be as natural and *normal* as heterosexuality. It is entirely up to you to decide, based on this, whether or not you want to accept my tip or leave it”.
Drama “QUEEN” ... I’d expect that out of this crowd. They are such attention hogs today. Looking for more love and never the kind that actually satisfies.
Dr/Mrs. Baker,
How do you feel about all those LBGRJDSYIOFT people in Kalifornia abusing “BREEDERS”? Huh? Tell us what you think.
Oh, I bet you did. :)
I’ve decided that if I know a waiter is homosexual, I will leave a 40 % or higher tip, write out exactly what the Bible says on homosexuality and then just let them decide if they will take it or not.
Because that's not news.
