We’ve all been there! We’re leaving a grocery store and a staff member asks us to stop, they want to see our receipt. And for most folk, this experience is embarrassing because it straight up makes you feel they believe you’re a shoplifter. In one TikTok, a guy called David explains how much this experience angers him and a lawyer @Texaschancla told people you don’t actually have to show your receipt if those are your goods! This guy says: “It really ****** me off that people at Walmart check your **** when you’re leaving. Like excuse me Walmart, last time...

An image posted on Facebook by a man who claims he served Stephen Paddock room service shows that the gunman was with a guest during his time at the Mandalay Bay hotel four days before the massacre took place. The receipt shows an employee named Antonio served two guests an “IRD_MB,” which means “In Room Dining, Mandalay Bay.” The table number is “32135” – which equates to Paddock’s room number (135) on the 32nd floor. Paddock ordered a burger, a bagel with cream cheese, a potato soup, one bottle of water and two Pepsis, suggesting that there was another person...

A North Carolina woman has accused a Chick-Fil-A employee of putting a racial slur on her receipt when she stopped by at her favorite place to eat. Nyiashia Jackson, 19, pulled up last week at the drive-thru in Charlotte, where she was shocked to see what was written on her receipt. To her dismay, her name appeared to have been turned into a racial slur with a minor typo – the N-word spelled with one G, WCCB Charlotte reported. “I was just in shock. I literally parked right there, I couldn’t eat the food,” Jackson told the news outlet. She...

Most food servers get tips from customers when they do the job. All Sadie Elledge got was a xenophobic insult. On Monday, the 18-year-old waitress was working the lunch shift at Jess’ Lunch, in Harrisonburg, Virginia. At one of her tables was a couple that ordered two gyros and a salad. Elledge told WHSV reporter Isabel Rosales that she gave them decent service, but when it came time to pay the $26.11 bill, she found a surprise on her receipt. Instead of a tip, there was a note: “We only tip citizens,” with the signature of one “Ada M. Doriot.”...

"Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy has been publicly called out by the owner of a local eatery for leaving a 20-cent tip on a bill totaling more than $60. The Philadelphia burger joint PYT shared a receipt online showing what was described as Mr McCoy's paltry tip. 'The twenty cent tip that the Eagles' LeSean McCoy just left our server on his $60 check is going to come in really handy for that new official NFL McCoy jersey he had his heart set on,' the message that accompanied the receipt read. 'That is a .03% tip. New record!'"

An Applebee's waitress who posted a receipt with a note from a pastor complaining about the automatic gratuity added to the bill on the Internet was fired on Wednesday after the pastor complained to her manager. Chelsea Welch, the waitress, wrote in an email to Yahoo News that the pastor (who has since been identified as Alois Bell) told Welch's manager at the St. Louis-area Applebee's that the ensuing firestorm had "ruined" her reputation."I give God 10%," Bell wrote on the receipt, scratching out the automatic tip and scribbling in an emphatic "0" where the additional tip would be. "Why...

(Reddit.com) – A woman had enough money to pay for a $138.35 bill, but not enough to handle 15 percent more than that. The explanation written in the tip line, “Single Mom Sorry.” An online discussion has broken out around the country after the included photo surfaced on Reddit. The photo was posted by editor PhenixSongFawkes on the online forum. He wrote, “I’m sure $140 could have gotten you and your kids a week worth of groceries, but instead you spend it one one meal?! For shame!” That tends to be the general sentiment of comment posters on Reddit and...

May someone be barred from possessing a gun simply because he has been indicted for a felony? The U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of Alabama so argues. Here’s their entire argument (citations to Heller omitted): In Heller, the Supreme Court held that the Second Amendment provides an individual with a right to possess and use a firearm for lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. However, the Supreme Court also made clear that “the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited.” The Supreme Court emphasized that “nothing in [its] opinion should be taken to cast...

In the post below, I discussed whether it was constitutional to ban gun possession by all people who are under indictment. But in the case in which the U.S. Attorney argued that this was constitutional, no such statute was actually in play. Federal law bars gun possession by felons, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), but only gun receipt, shipment, and transportation by those under indictment for a felony, 18 U.S.C. § 922(n). Yet the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of Alabama indicted Clayton Adams for “knowingly possess[ing]” a gun, “[i]n violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 922(n),”...

TALLAHASSEE - Florida's election system, ridiculed and maligned during the 2000 presidential election and then rebuilt with new technology, was thrown into chaos again Monday with five weeks to go before Election Day. A federal appeals court in Atlanta reversed a lower-court judge and ordered him to hear a lawsuit that demands voters be given paper receipts when they use touch-screen voting machines so there is a paper trail in a close election. The court's decision is vindication for U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler, the Palm Beach County Democrat who filed the lawsuit, and a potential nightmare for election officials in...

Recent events show a war can be waged and won in less time than it takes the Defense Department to reach final decisions on how to implement the new Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC). But if Defense officials are three weeks behind in finalizing rules and publishing CRSC applications, they also are adopting a more liberal interpretation of qualifying criteria than expected, sources said. That means not 35,000 but 40,000 or more retirees could receive CRSC, with payments ranging for most of them from $104 to $2,193 a month, depending on severity of qualifying disabilities. Retiree drawing VA's special monthly...
