While I have always left at least a 15% tip, much much more for excellent service or other reasons, I certainly reserve the right to withhold the tip in the future. A good server gets rewarded and the converse is true.
Assuming this is on the level, I don’t see why this should be an issue as long as the service is good. I’m not a fan of women with tattoos, but I’ve been served by waitresses who have them, and never held back a tip because of it.
And? So? A person with a brain that functions will realize their clientele and then maximize their ability to profit. If this person cares so deeply, then clean up. If this is a fluke, then who cares.
Overall, if she looks normal enough to serve them, she looks normal enough to tip.
The handwriting looks very feminine,,, fake. Wants a go fund me money bomb.
Is it just me or, “That’s a man baby”
He walks into Zombie Burger and wants a normal-looking waitress??
I’d be expecting more than just pink hair. I’d be expecting tattoos all up and down her body and piercings in all sorts of orifices. I’d tip her just the same if I ordered the burger there but I’d probably rather find a place where the employees have better hygiene.
Of course, leaving a tip is not mandatory. It is an acknowledgement of good or superior service. Had the customer simply left no tip and no “note”, there wouldn’t be an issue. Leaving the “note” with the judgmental message was childish. It was the childish message that is the “news” in this story. ‘If you have nothing good to say, say nothing’. For whatever reason, the customer felt a need to belittle, in writing, the server. Hardly the act of an adult, but not a criminal offense. Don’t get angry over it, or take it to heart. Simply chalk it up as an experience where you met and served an azzhole. Most people aren’t azzholes, so in the end it is just a bump in the road of life.
I guess the customer express his view similar to the waitress wearing pink hair to be noticed and receive attention.
Assuming it isn’t a hoax, the customer didn’t specify what it was about her appearance that he found objectionable. It may have been her pink hair, or her nose ring, her earrings the size of dinner plates, or the tattoos on her legs and arms. Whatever the case, the customer was a jerk; but the waitress can’t know it was her pink hair, because he didn’t say.
Why is this news? Oh wait, it’s huffpo - it’s propaganda.
