    If one looks at the receipt, it looks to me like it was signed by a man and the note was written by a woman.

    Obviously this is possible.

    Just as it is possible someone would actually print the message on a credit card receipt.
    Freedom and a submissive populace cannot co-exist.

    I'm sure the money that poured in for her was totally unexpected.

    Good God, Todd. Wake up, people. There are * all around us, and most of them have a brain the size of a pinhead. Insulted? Sure, I would have been, too. Then I would consider the source. Trust me on this one. I have worked retail for more years than most sane people could stand. I get used to the insults. Hell, I even I've even gave a few of them back. You have to have a degree of tough skin to deal with the general populace. If you can't handle it, get out.

    having said that, let me say this. I go to McDonalds once a week, or so. I buy three McDoubles, and a medium order of fries. One of the McDoubles is plain, and the dogs get that, and half of my fries. Trust me on this one. they can smell that crap coming a half mile away!

    Anyway, there is a black girl that runs the pay window. She is special needs, at least. But, a real nice girl. Always polite, and friendly. Kinda why I go back there. Some folks might put her down, but they would only do it once, in front of me. My total always comes to seven dollars, and some change. I always give her a ten, and tell her to put the rest in her pocket. It isn't much, but from the way she acts, you would think you just gave her the world. Good people are good people, and it really don't matter what color of skin they were born with.

    Peace

    Terrible crisis. This could cause low self esteem, nightmares, and gingivitis.

    Ask people in the restaurant business what brand of people are the worst tippers. The answer is unlikely to surprise.

    I didn't realize tipping was required. Maybe the white folks didn't have money enough to tip. Maybe the owner wrote the note to get free advertisement. Maybe Obummer will hold a news conference on this. Maybe the NAACP is on a fishing trip.

    How it is at all appalling or disheartening is beyond my comprehension or understanding.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Thought of that. You don't work retail without thinking of it. I asked, beforehand. They said as long as her register balanced out, it was OK.

    why does anyone have to make a big issue ( this is just another example of hoping for a cash flow to them ) just toss the receipt and go back to work [:(!]

    We all know there are poopbags of all colors and creeds.

    If this is not another fake story, I feel bad for her.

    An honest working person does not deserve that treatment.

    Church groups! They come in tie up the tables in one section (one waiter to a section) for an hour or more, insist in multiple drink refills,then one of em tells em "I'll get the tip", waits till the rest have left...... then stiffs the 2.45/hr waiter! (if he doesn't scoop up the few dollars some of the others left)
    Waitstaff also dreads hearing "bus". (school or tour groups, they know somebody's going home broke that night)

    Yeah, I know what group the polls claim is the worst tippers, but they usually at least leave something.
