Many people throughout the Valley and nationwide have expressed outrage after a Valley server got what she calls a “nasty and racist” comment on a receipt. And the entire exchange was caught on surveillance camera. Now, the owner of the restaurant says she doesn’t want the person responsible back in her business.

On Monday, August 15, Sadie Elledge served a man and woman two gyros, sodas, and a Greek salad at Jess’ Lunch in downtown Harrisonburg. From the start, Elledge says she felt uncomfortable. […]

As the blonde woman signed the receipt (which you can see in the video above), she left no tip. That’s not unusual for any server, but the reason why she didn’t leave the tip was something Elledge says she has never seen. The receipt reads: “We only tip citizens.” […]

Adding another layer to her disbelief, Elledge says the woman herself had an accent. …

If immigration laws were enforced, and Americans knew the far majority of people who came to this country were indeed legal, this wouldn’t happen.

I’ll give 20 to 1 odds I don’t care :) I don’t care about the faux outrage of illegals blacks and other groups. All I care is that Trump wins.

I would say those are pretty generous odds. We’ll know the truth when she’s invited to the White House.

Big yawn.

Saw this yesterday on FB, and of course all the OUTRAGE over “citizen”. I.e., it’s racist! Boo Hoo!

Since when is that RACIST? Racist is truly becoming an overused and abused word.

Interesting to find out this was near where we spent a brief vacation last month.

This has been around for a while. Smells like another hoax to me.

Where did you hear about the “Facebook friend” angle?

It likely is a hoax IMHO but it might have been more profitable for her to go the digital clock parts in a box route.

Saw screenshots someone posted on FB of the “perp’s” friends page before she restricted access. Also, the “perp” is originally from Puerto Rico, and while I know they are citizens, Puerto Ricans tend to be proud of their heritage. Do you think someone from Puerto Rico would pull a stunt like that?

Hoax.

1) She doesn’t have a foreign accent
2) She didn’t see the note when she picked up the receipt and someone else called her attention to it two hours later.
3) Way too many of these and most turn out to be hoaxes.
