I call fraud and hoax on this receipt.
Handwriting does not match. Suspect a co-worker.
I can’t wait for the customer to come forward. This is fake
Once I saw no tip I was sure it would be the other way around. Even Tiger Woods and Lebron James are notorious bad tippers
I bet that handwriting matches hers...
Not an expert, but it does appear to be two different hand-writings, but some people have a way of writing their signature, distinct from other writing.
I didn’t know 44.53 + None = N——r
Handwriting doesn’t match. Suspect she left tip on table as I sometimes do.
Aside from that, I don’t see a crime here at all whatsoever. What is the crime? Being rude? Ever not tip a lousy waitress?
Restaraunt better be careful or that customer may end up owning that place.
I pay with a card and tip in cash.. if they don’t report it, more power to um...
I wonder if that is what happened here..
I always put in 0 for tip (because there is cash on the table or given to the waitress/waiter) and the carry the total down though.
I call BS on this as well.
Plus, I was at Walmart for work today in a part of town you don’t go to after dark and all the people of color where calling each other that. Even yelling it across the store.
Oh that’s right. It’s only raciest when white people say it..
If this is real, the customer signed a credit card receipt, so identity would be known.
Thus it could be determined if a hoax or not very easily.
One of my old FReep tag lines covers it:
“IF FALSE ACCUSATION WEREN’T A PROBLEM IT WOULDN’T BE IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS”
It was certainly rude and in very bad taste but a “complete investigation?” It was a tip, the customer is in charge of giving a tip...... or not.
Somehow racism has been redefined so that if you don’t like someone who is black you are a racist. If you disagree with someone who is black you are a racist.
I do not like Dennis Rodman. I disagree with Jesse Jackson. If that makes me a racist under the new definition, then so be it.
There are losers out there that don’t tip. It has nothing to do with skin color. It has everything to do with them being a tight-wad loser.
Many years ago I attended a meal with a person I had known superficially over the years. She was good friends with someone I thought I knew.
We went out to lunch. During the lunch her kids smeared food all over the windows, the table, the floor... As they did this she pretended not to notice at all. The rest of us were horrified. There was a quaranteen zone five feet around the table in all directions. I kid you not.
At the end of the meal, we each chipped in enough to cover our meals and our tip. She handled the check. As we are walking to our cars, the waiter comes running out asking if he had done something wrong.
This woman had taken all our money for meal plus tip, and had left him absolutely nothing. It must have taken them twenty minutes to a half hour to get the place back to normal after her demolition crew was done with the place.
I called back the next day to talk to the manager, thinking the waiter should have someone on his side. He had already been fired for coming out and talking to us.
That was the last time I went out anywhere with that woman and her kids.
I’ve been told by waitresses that blacks don’t tip.
At least they didn’t “bash her face in” or “punch the next white person that came by”...if it even happened in the first place, which I doubt. Someone should ask Shorty or Chris if a word could hurt them.
I’ll wait and see, but my spidey-sense is tingling “hoax” right now.
blacks are known poor tippers
yep...from personal experience watching my wife count tips
Sounds like the customers were niggardly.
This just in, customer identified, denies writing the racial slur and has lawyered up (good).
“That customer and his attorney deny he had anything to do with it and say someone else could be to blame.
“Whoever put that on that receipt was very wrong,” said attorney Richard Dugger.
Devin Barnes keeps receiving threats over this, even though he maintains his innocence.
Barnes and his wife visited Red Lobster in Franklin on Saturday. Hours later, his ticket, including his name, part of his card number and his signature, wound up online, along with a racial slur.
Jenkins, who served Barnes and his wife Saturday, posted the picture of the receipt to Facebook, and the story soon attracted international attention.
Dugger provided Channel 4 News with a statement he says Barnes wrote by hand.
In the note, Barnes admitted he wrote “none” in the tip line and signed the bill, but left the total line blank.
As for the N-word, Barnes denies writing it.
“I do not approve of the use of that type of talk, not now or ever,” the note says.
The waitress will be back at work this week. In posting the picture of the ticket online, she violated Red Lobster policy.
Dugger said he hopes to soon hire a handwriting expert to analyze the ticket, the slur and his client’s handwriting.”
International news!! But not the 62-year old white guy who was attacked by a racist black in Union Square in NY or the white bus rider attacked by hateful blacks on a bus in Manhattan.
