CLIFFS:
- Entitled attention whore posts photo on Facebook of a receipt with "guy" written on total amount.
- White knights donate $10,000 because obviously it was such a traumatic experience
- Customer who left the check denies he wrote the slur.
- Got death threats
- Suing dumb b!tch and Red Lobster because she posted the receipt online with his card number along and personal info on it.
- Even had a handwriting expert clear him and his wife of the writing on the receipt.
- Dumb kunt will probably have to use donated money for lawyer.

He goes out to eat and leaves no tip for a waitress which is pretty fucked up. They depend on tips to pay bills as they only make about 2.13 an hour....
He goes out to eat and leaves no tip for a waitress which is pretty fucked up. They depend on tips to pay bills as they only make about 2.13 an hour....that's what people are mainly pissed at him for rather than the n-word he also wrote.
He deserves no sympathy whatsoever and is getting what he deserves for being a cheapskate. If you go out to eat at a restaurant, then leave a tip for your server. He and his forensic examiner can go fuck themselves.
It appears he didn't write the word in the first place
I think he's lying but honestly it doesn't matter. He's not suing the waitress but Red Lobster....he would be crazy to sue the waitress at this point but he's wasting his time with suing the company....they'll laugh him out of court.

It was a to-go order, brother. Nobody waited on him.
Bro I know tons of people who don't write anything in the tip section of a bill and leave cash for the tip...Or they draw a line in the tip section and leave cash. i could also see someone writing the word none in the tip section and leaving cash so some scammer waiter doesn't take it upon him/herself to write in more money for a tip when you give cash...
you are a racist
you view is tainted
you wouldnt have posted a comment if race wasnt the issue
It was not a to-go order.... ::)
I said the same thing about this cow...

Yes, and they never got any complaints from the waiter....this guy admitted to being a bad tipper and cheapskate to the media
So, let's get this straight... he deserves to have his name traduced because he didn't leave a tip? That's a pretty fucked up mentality you have there Vince. As for the waitress, sure, she relies on tips, but why is that anyone's problem but hers?Expand your vocabulary, the Getbig way. Today's word: traduced. Say it with me, tra-duced - to slur, or impugn.
As for his forensic examiner, you think that it doesn't alter the calculus whether "guy" was written by someone else? Are you that fucking dense?
First of all - as you quite astutely point out - who gives a fuck what you think?
As for your silly commentary that a suit against Red Lobster will be laughed out of court, kindly tell us (so that we can evaluate your considered legal opinion accordingly) when did you become a lawyer in addition to being an esteemed bodybuilder and a retailer extraordinaire?
Although they haven't decided to sue the waitress (the article claims they don't know on what grounds they would) the fact is that Red Lobster is absolutely responsible for the conduct of its employees. Now, this receipt is a business record of Red Lobster, a record which the waitress had in her possession as part of her work for Red Lobster. This creates a nexus that could be used to involve Red Lobster.
Whether any lawsuit in this instance is a smart idea is an entirely different topic. He probably should read up on the Streisand Effect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect) before he files anything. Somethings are better left untouched. I suspect that this is one of them.
Being a bad tipper and a cheapskate is neither illegal nor is something that justifies having one's name traduced.
Expand your vocabulary, the Getbig way. Today's word: traduced. Say it with me, tra-duced - to slur, or impugn.
Impugn: to traduceTraduce: to Showstop. Bam! ;D

One of them is lying.....Just based on what evidence is avail via the news reports I'm going with the waitress.
1. She didn't show her co workers or manager at the time she discovered it. It is human nature to do so and I can't even imagine her not making a huge deal out of it at the time it was discovered
2. "If he said he didn't do it I believe him" is exactly what someone who is feeling a little guilty would say if they were the culprit. She didn't realize the firestorm that would follow her posting
3. "If" a handwriting expert examined it, that tells me two things. 1. Handwriting experts are pretty good at their job and can even detect forgeries of practiced forgers in many cases. 2. A guilty joe blow would not go through the trouble of getting an expert to examine the evidence
But.. why did he have to change his bank account if only the last 4 digits are exposed? That to me is just a part of him wanting to get more money from Red Lobster.
Fuckin hell, minimum wage for tipped employees in USA is $2.19 per hour?
In the UK it's approx. $8 for under 21 year olds and approx. $11 for over age 21.
And they also get to keep their tips.
Looks like the USA is becoming a 3rd world for the majority of poor suckers. Most of you would have to move to China to get a pay rise. :D
Oh, what a guy!
Mo you dumb fuck. Wait staff is on a different pay scale as tips are expected here unlike in europe. Go back to blowing you "mate" Richard.
"Keep their tips". ::). The only people who tip them are US tourists.
Don't talk shite sonny.Hmm. Every time I tried to tip the server/bartender in Edinburgh for a pint they backed off like I'd pissed in their Corn Flakes. I asked a local. Tipping I was told was verboten. Learn something new, everyday.
If you saved up your minimum wage dollars and actually visited Scotland you would find that 10-15% tip is normal over here.
So a waitress gets typically $15-25 per hour plus free healthcare, free university education etc.
That is why people from all classes can make something of themselves over here.
Used to be that way in the USA. Now if your mommy and daddy don't have money you are fucked.
Sorry about that.

Fruitbooties are often employed in the food service industry so perhaps Vince is ill at the cheapskate from personal trials and tribulations.

you should only tip if the service warrants it
tipping is not mandatory but is offerered for services rendered.
somehow waiters feel like ripping is something that is mandatory..it is not
Look at Scotland! It's magical land, a happy land, where you can live - for free - in a gumdrop house on lollipop lane, while getting paid $15 to $25 an hour to wait tables. And while you do that, you get free healthcare and a free university education in the growing field of advanced table waiting that pays up to $115 an hour!
Yes, Scotland is renowned around the world as a place where people of all classes can make something of themselves!
What was true in the USA in the past is true now - if you work hard, you can succeed and succeed beyond your wildest dreams. Almost as good as Scotland, the land where "people from all classes can make something of themselves." It's just that, unlike Scotland, we don't pay waitresses $15 to $25 an hour and give them "free healthcare, free education, etc"
We should all head to Scotland and make something of ourselves! Then we can eat (free) haggis and freeball it in our kilts. Even in formal occasions!
Tipping in a restaurant IS mandatory. Prices are adjusted downwards bc the restaurant doesnt pay their waitstaff much, and the difference is made up by the customers. If nobody tipped, the cost of paying their waitstaff would go up and eventually the cost of a meal would go up around 15-20%.
Tipping is certainly not optional.... if you don't feel like leaving a tip, don't go out to eat

Tipping like 5% is way more insulting.
avxo, no need to do a multi-quote breakdown of my post. Save your pedantry for someone else
The advantage of the system as it stands is that you have the ability to scale the tip up or down according to service. If it were a flat 15%, well, then you can't do anything about bad service.
He goes out to eat and leaves no tip for a waitress which is pretty fucked up. They depend on tips to pay bills as they only make about 2.13 an hour....that's what people are mainly pissed at him for rather than the n-word he also wrote.

No, its not mandatory but he's still an asshole and I believe he wrote "n i g g e r" on that slip.
Fact is that in a social media world with twitter and facebook, you need to be on your best behavior when you leave your house.

so if your bill was a grand and the service was shit
you would insult them by tipping them 50 bills
its a real kick in the teeth ::)
reality is that any place you're paying a grand for dinner, it's unlikely service would be less than stellar
good point they would never have an off day ::)
Well, just based on experience..if you are dining in a place where the bill is going to be a grand, there is a good chance your table will have at least 2 waitstaff assigned. Likely not an Applebees or a Steak and Shake. Sure, they could have an off day..very unlikely at that level... but yeah...sure they could
my point is
if the service is shit your first course of recourse is not to tip
if it is compulsory their is no incentive for them to look after you
a great waiter can make your night
those are the ones you tip generously
There have been plenty of times where I feel like tipping 0. I can't do it though, because even with bad service you never know what someone is battling on a given day inside or outside of the workplace.They could be battling Megatron with AIDS for all I care, I just want them to do their job. Do a shit job and I don't tip you. And even then they still get paid something: their base salary. Plenty of self-employed people who wish they were so lucky.

The guy is lying , why would she single him out to make that story up about? is he the first person that never gave her a tip?
Plus you can tell from pics, butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. ;D

Free healthcare and free education? Dont tell me all Europeans think this way.....
well the government takes 60% of my check but I get free health care and education, what a bargain!
There is no fucking thing as free anything. Allthiose dollars that disappear from your check, thats youre "free" shit.
leave that cash on the table and another waiter/waitress or patron will take it...

A poor man making £20,000 a year paying an effective 18% tax will get healthcare and university education for his children allowing them to become doctors, lawyers, accountants, engineers......whatever.
A rich man making £200,000 a year will pay an effective tax of 38% and will get healthcare and university education for his children allowing them to become doctors, lawyers, accountants, engineers......whatever.
It is all down to academic performance. Not how deep your dad's pockets are.
In Scotland even a poor black man could become the head of the country. When will the USA ever be able to say that? :D
Our rich friend above and our poor friend above can both just up and send their children to Eton College at a cost of £40,000 per annum, or the University of St. Andrews at a cost of £30,000 per annum, give or take a few hundred pounds sterling.
Yay for equality! Everybody do the robot!
Wait staff is on a different pay scale as tips are expected here unlike in europe.
Eton is in England. The English pay fees for their education.
St Andrews fees are paid by the state for everyone born in Scotland. Prince William and his bride would have had to pay when they attended St Andrews seeing as they are English.

Being a bad tipper and a cheapskate is neither illegal nor is something that justifies having one's name traduced.
I usually agree with most of your posts but as a former waiter, I'm struggling with this a bit. Is it illegal for a server to make it known to others that someone has left a sub-standard tip? Is it really even inappropriate? Surely it's OK for a server to tell his fellow servers that someone has a history of being a shitty tipper, right? So how many people is it OK to tell?
Honestly, I don't see what the big deal is; If you're gonna be a cheapskate, then own it. It's not the end of the world.
I don't think "mandatory" means what you think it means.
Why is any of that my concern? I don't care whether prices are adjusted upwards or downwards, or whether the restaurant pays the waitstaff much or little. I shouldn't have to. I certainly don't for any other business, but for restaurants it's somehow special.
OK, and? I mean, if it's mandatory that I pay a tip - often to the tune of 15% - it's even money for me. And, arguably, I'll come out ahead, since those who currently "steal" by not paying the "mandatory" tip will be forced to pay.
Of course, the big thing is that the waiters don't actually want to migrate away from tips to a salary they can live on, because they believe that they can make more money by getting tips (and it's probably true) than they could by getting salary.
I'm pretty sure that having a blank space where I can write the amount that I want to leave as a tip is the definition of "optional."
Right, and? It still proves my point, that the guy making £200,000 still has more options available to him.
Can you provide a reference? The St. Andrews website seems to disagree. Not that I don't think you're more credible than the official website. ::)
HE got carryout you buck dancing neegro.
The guy got it to go. Since when do you tip for take-out?

As a former waiter, I don't agree with this. If you've worked in a restaurant before you can usually tell why your service is shitty. And when it's due to the server just sucking, then they need to reqularly get stiffed (get no tip) so that they're forced to quit a job they can't handle. And believe you me, being a foodserver can be a difficult and highly stressful job. Many people just can't do it well no matter what.
He has no reason to lie. Its isn't in his best interest to go public and fight the charge. The anti-racism industry is large and powerful. I suggest you read a book called Crying Wolf by Laird Wilcox. Laird Wilcox is an unbiased researched who has done extensive study of this subject. Racism hoaxes are fairly common. Accusers have found crying racism is an easy way to gain sympathy and make a buck.
You are hight. We're supposed to believe that an idiot who would write that on a credit slip with his name on it would be smart enough to know that it's not in his best interest to go public and fight the charge (because of the Streisand Effect, I presume)? Haha. Try again.
Look, I have no idea who wrote "guy" on that receipt. If I worked with that girl and saw the check before her, I would have written it just to fuck with her if I either really liked her or really hated her, haha. (And I absolutely would not have revealed that I was the one that did it once it became a big deal.) So who knows? And while racism hoaxes might very well be common, I'm willing to bet any amount of money that written racist comments are waaaaay more common. Haven't you ever read through a youtube comment thread or, and this should be completely evident to all here, your average Getbig thread?

Why don't you Americans get a fair basic pay for being a waiter and rely less on tips. Put prices up and start increasing the quality of your establishments like in the civilised world. I mean Red Lobster and Olive Garden is haute cuisine for you guys. ::)
I would have thought Scotsman Gordon Ramsay would have made you lift your game a bit by now.

DO you tip? Would you really not tip at a place you regularly frequent? If so, you are a brave dude with a strong immune system.
I tip for take-out. (A couple of bucks only, usually.) Especially when the person giving you your food is the person who had to box it up. (Did you never work in a restaurant?)
Honestly, tipping is seems like a great thing for me. When I over-tip anywhere (pizza delivery guy, haircut lady, any place I eat or pick up food), I'm pretty much guaranteed better service than the rest of the customers on subsequent visits. I enjoy knowing that my server will leave the average getbigger's food in the window while they rush off to find me a side plate or whatever. I usually tip about 25% if the service is pretty good or if there's a good reason (that I sympathize with) for the less than good service*. Because of the places I eat at, the extra tip usually amounts to only an extra 3 or 4 bucks. And it will often totally make the server happy. (Beyond what it should, really, because fuck it, it's only 3 or 4 extra bucks.)
* About over-tipping when service is less than good: This happens more than it should. If, for example, I get lousy service because a server has way more tables than usual (because of staff shortage) I'll still over-tip out of sympathy since I know many of clueless tables will leave crappy tips. It sucks to work way harder than usual and make the same or even less money than usual because there aren't enough other servers on the floor. I'll also overtip despite lousy service when some other table is being totally shitty to the server (to the point where she's visibly upset). When I was a server, I did not mind when a customer (usually drunk or just crazy) went off on me in loud, unfair way because I was pretty much guaranteed "sympathy over-tips" from all the tables that saw what happened.

Another great thing from Alec Salmond.
It's because where I live that kind of food attracts a certain kind of non-tipping customer
Incidentally, I think the food at Red Lobster is decent (the shrimp is always very fresh in my experience). The reason I only rarely go is that the service almost always sucks. You know why? It's because where I live that kind of food attracts a certain kind of non-tipping customer to the point that good servers won't work there because they can't make money.
Sure, but not when it is attached to your credit card information.
just curious, are you black? Ive wondered from a couple threads niw
That's reasonable and likely right in most parts of the country. In some parts of the South, though? Not so sure.
My sister made the mistake of marrying this navy dork who came from Tennessee. (We're from CA.) When she went to Tennessee to meet his family she saw that they seemed to be successful people with good jobs and a big, nice home. Imagine her surprise when, at the dinner table while something or other was being discussed, her father-in-law-to-be, blurted out to a family member, "Well that's just a double-Kneegro lie!" This little anecdote might not mean much but it seems to me like racism in the South (I've lived in NC for the last 5 years) is much more out in the open than in my home state of CA.

Fact-being african-american, When my wife and I are out we are usually, on the "list of people who dont tip" (whatever) I always tip 20%, if the service is great, i do the Bill Murray tip and whatever the bill was i tip the same $100 bill = $100 tip, RRK is right about service, and it is VERY wonderful to know, my family and I are accommodated graciously, and treated with extra attention.you tip.100% for good service?
I was taught from the old school "if you cant afford the tip dont eat out"
You are high. We're supposed to believe that an idiot who would write that on a credit slip with his name on it would be smart enough to know that it's not in his best interest to go public and fight the charge (because of the Streisand Effect, I presume)? Haha. Try again.
Look, I have no idea who wrote "Knee-gro" on that receipt. If I worked with that girl and saw the check before her, I would have written it just to fuck with her if I either really liked her or really hated her, haha. (And I absolutely would not have revealed that I was the one that did it once it became a big deal.) So who knows? And while racism hoaxes might very well be common, I'm willing to bet any amount of money that written racist comments are waaaaay more common. Haven't you ever read through a youtube comment thread or, and this should be completely evident to all here, your average Getbig thread?
Not that I don't think you're more credible than the official website. ::)
As a former waiter, I don't agree with this. If you've worked in a restaurant before you can usually tell why your service is shitty. And when it's due to the server just sucking, then they need to reqularly get stiffed (get no tip) so that they're forced to quit a job they can't handle. And believe you me, being a foodserver can be a difficult and highly stressful job. Many people just can't do it well no matter what.If service is bad and slow, I just tip my hat as i walk out.
Cleared by a handwriting expert... I think we know what's up.
The guy got it to go. Since when do you tip for take-out?
The homosexual carry out guy at PF Changs will put you on one hell of a guilt trip if you don't tip him.
He probably thought about writing homo on the receipt I signed.
;D
That's funny, Vaughn.
