The racial slur a Red Lobster waitress claimed to receive on a receipt in lieu of tip may have been a hoax, according to two separate handwriting analyses.
One handwriting analyst concluded that whoever wrote “none” on the tip line was not the same person who wrote the racial epithet. The second analyst believes the racist comment could have been written by the waitress herself.
Toni Christina Jenkins, a server at a Red Lobster in Franklin, Tennessee, posted a picture on her Facebook page of a receipt with the word “none” written in the area usually reserved for a tip.
Below that, the word “Nigger” was scrawled.
The receipt clearly showed the name of the customer, Devin Barnes, who is white. Jenkins, who is black, said that she was not aware that Barnes’ name was shown on the receipt and posted it online to make a point about racism, not to target Barnes.
“God Bless America, land of the free and home of the low class racists of Tennessee,” wrote Jenkins, a 19-year-old nursing student, on her Facebook page along with the picture.
But Barnes, 20, denied writing the derogatory word.
“I do not approve of the use of that type of talk, not now or ever,” wrote Barnes in a note shortly after the story went viral. As news spread locally and nationally, Barnes also says he received threats....
He should sue her...
Must be the same people who are "shocked" about the cost of Obamacare .
File them under "Stupid should hurt."
I always draw a line and write “cash on table”.
Recently there was a case of a homosexual server who said he waited on someone who left no tip but commented on his sexual orientation on the receipt. A homosexual pastor stepped in to do an Al Sharpton. When I read it, I wondered if that might not have been a hoax.
I called this one as soon as it was originally posted; it’s disgusting she got the $10k, but she’s blown that already. It would be great if the fundraisers sued her and garnished her wages to get it back.
Along with the young woman who set herself on fire in a park and claimed white racists did it. She was permanently disfigured.
I thought this from day 1.
