Another Shocking Restaurant Tip

OK, here is another Outrage du Jour, but stay with me for the plot twist:

Server Responds to ‘Find Your Own’ Husband Comment Left on Tip-Less Receipt

Jessica Morris, a server at an unidentified restaurant in Centerville, Ohio, has some strong words for a customer who left her a nasty note in lieu of a tip. The customer, identified only as Jenny, apparently came into the restaurant with her new husband and two guests. When it was time to pay, the customers skipped the tip and instead left a note that accused Morris of trying to steal her husband, writing, “he’s my husband, find your own. Good luck :)” on the receipt. Alas, Morris has a husband, and he happened to be working in the same restaurant that night.

As with all restaurant-receipt stories, this one is worth taking with a grain of salt, but Morris shared her story in a long open letter, posted to her Facebook page (and since deleted)....

Here’s the full Facebook post, which Fox and other media outlets have preserved...

Yeah, yeah, bad behavior and vigorous repartee in flyover country. However did the media find these people, none of whom were calling Obama a Muslim? But brace yourself for the stunner. No, really, I mean, sit down:

Well I cash out their check, tell them have a good night and to come back. When I come back from singing “happy birthday” to another guest, the couple and company have left, and on one ticket they tipped me $4, well Jenny decided I did not deserve a monetary tip, so she wrote me a nice note, with a $0 tip saying “he’s my husband, find your own. Good luck. :)

What??? The staff sings "Happy Birthday" to customers? Sweet Jiminy, they will shortly be serving breakfast to the royalty lawyers, who will then eat their lunch.

And if they thought this was settled in September when a judge ruled against one Happy Birthday "owner", please - it's a lawsuit. This is far from over.

Here's my tip to the waitress - if you want to sing Happy Birthday, don't tell the world.

Too many pieces of Flair?

On one check they tipped $4, on the other a note. A married couple went dutch?

And apparently "no cash" at another restaurant.

The other two must have had their own check and left the $4 tip. (Or at least that's how I understood the story.)

Sounds like the struggling bride wrote the note on the receipt to one of her guests as a bragging right. Slid it across the table and they giggled like fouth graders.

Probably never meant for the waitress.

Well last night me and my 2 amigos hit 3 bar/restaurants and didn't leave a single tip for anybody since in Japan you don't tip. And nobody tried to pick any of us up either:(

Oh well. Maybe we'll have better luck in Taipei. Sayonara.

Rude crude and unrefined behavior on the part of Jenny
Let us hope she never has to wait tables trying to make a living and have to put up with insulting heartless people

Would that we had a Dean Firehose. The collective spine of academic management seems to be made of silly string.

The fate of the UC Davis cop still pisses me off. The activists were told to clear out multiple times. They were then told they would be pepper sprayed, and they were then sprayed.

The sheer timidity and sympathy these people have with the other loons is deeply disheartening.

Hey "Jenny" was insecure. Her Daddy only had a single shot shotgun. So she wants to hold on to what she's got, and she's trying hard.

At least she didn't get knocked out and wind up in jail;
Poor Jenny.

I don't get any of this stuff. Leave a damn tip unless you were given crummy service.

If you don't get a tip, suck it up to you being a crappy waitress or the customers being ingrates.

People are being beheaded in Iraq. Europe is being overrun. People in the US are without jobs and are losing their homes.

Priorities, people!
